Achieve your IS-003 - Fixed telehandler diploma now!

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM THIS IS-003 FIXED TELEHANDLER TRAINING?

For the IS-003 fixed telehandler diploma, Praxis is the right place for you!

There are different types of telehandlers, which can perform different functions as well.

With "a fixed telehandler", the cabin and the telescopic arm are permanently connected to the substructure.

Virtually all telehandlers are equipped with front steering, four-wheel steering and crab steering.

Telehandlers can be provided without, with 2, or with 4 stamps, which will affect stability and lifting capacity significantly and where an appropriate loading diagram must be used.

The IS diplomas are essential in the petrochemical and port industries.

It can take place on your location or in one of our partner centers in Flanders.

The amount of days of training depends on your experience and competences.

If you pass, then you will receive the official IS-003 diploma!

The aim of this training is to work efficiently and safely with the telehandler.
