Talen Edwards

"Highly recommended Rob and his team, they have great facilities. It's a relaxed environment and Rob takes his time to make sure you understand all aspects and competencies required.

They go the extra mile to give you time and practice driving the forklift. If you are a complete beginner with no experience this is the place to come."

Steve Hillsdon

"I strongly recommend Rob and his team from Western Traders to anyone looking to get their tickets for a Forklift, Bob Cat or Excavator.

Rob and his team of trainers are approachable, knowledgeable, patient, and are encouraging. I did a Bob Cat ticket recently and had no prior knowledge on how to operate one and thanks to his team I am competent and feel comfortable using the machine.

Rob takes a professional approach towards students, and takes time to get to know what level of capability they are at, whether they are advanced or a beginner and caters to their needs to be able to get through the course."
