Posted By Mark Eden could anybody tell me if electric pallet trucks are covered by lifting equipment regs ? i.e. do operators have to be trained before operating them. should they be treated like a flt and have their key removed to prevent unauthorised personnel from using the equipment ?

Posted By Gavin Gibson Not only do they come under LOLER, but also PUWER and Management regs. your query of key control is defined by a need to prevent untrainied staff from operating such equipment. This does not require key control, but it is the simplest method. Try a risk assessment.
