Reasons to say ‘Yes’ to CFTS
18 December 2018
Not just inspectors – experienced engineers. The law states that thorough examinations of forklift trucks must be carried out by a ‘competent person’. As such, some inspections are carried out by individuals with only basic general knowledge, qualified only to make the bare minimum of checks… if that.
CFTS believes in truly rigorous forklift inspections: inspections that ensure trucks are truly safe for use – not just box-ticking exercises. Consequently, every single one of our accredited examiners, from nearly 400 companies across the UK, is a qualified forklift engineer.
With years of experience, these certified professionals know forklift trucks inside-out and are therefore ideally suited to carrying out our industry-leading Thorough Examination, which not only examines the lifting mechanism, but crucial components such as steering and brakes too.
