Overview
Push around Verticals are small, static vertical machines without a mechanical drive that are physically pushed around. Popular with contractors and the non-construction sector, these machines are ideal for low-level work. In this course, attendees will be given the knowledge and skills they need for safe operation, and certification for the use of this equipment.
Aims and Objectives
This course aims to deliver the appropriate knowledge and skills needed for the safe operation of Push-Along Vertical Personnel Lifts (PAV), and provide successful delegates with an IPAF Certificate of Training as well as an IPAF PAL Photo ID Card (valid for 5 years).

In addition, attendees should have a good understanding of both written and spoken English.
