Four-way winner
December 1st 2007 Combilift recently held its
first Regional Driver of the
Year event for the North
West at Haydock Park.
Drivers were put through
their paces around a course
devised by Combilift's
Steve Tomlinson and Mark
Buffham, with assistance
from Mentor Training.
The 4-way capability of
the Combilift forklifts
meant drivers were tested
on their skills while
operating in forward and
reverse modes, and had to
prove their control and
accuracy with the trucks
whilst travelling sideways.
The competition involved
picking up and carrying
large, bulky loads around
obstacles, tight corners
and, just for fun,
backwards and forwards
through a figure of eight –
all against the clock!"
Combilift reports that
the winner, Mark Thompson
of GAP, achieved an
outstanding score,
equivalent to a distinction
on a Mentor Training
Course. More articles from Combilift Limited: |
