Lifting Skills, Lifting Standards: Building Safer Workplaces Through Forklift Training

Across warehouses, factories, and worksites all over Aotearoa, forklifts ensure we can easily move things, build things, and get work done. But behind every safe and skilled operator is good training – and that’s where we come in.

At Puatala Training, we’re all about helping our people build confidence and capability on the job. Our onsite forklift training is practical, down-to-earth, and designed for real workplaces.

We bring the training to you, so your team can learn in their own environment, using the same machines they work with every day. It’s simple, effective, and a whole lot more relevant.

What We Offer

  • Full and Refresher Forklift Training
  • Certificate of Competency issued the same day
  • Delivered onsite, anywhere across Auckland, Waikato, and Bay of Plenty
  • Facilitated by industry trainers who actually get the job

Our sessions aren’t just about ticking boxes – they’re about making sure everyone gets home safe at the end of the day, and that they understand why safety matters, not just how to do it.

Meet the Team Behind the Training

Our forklift sessions are led by Jon Chapman and Sam Nonoa, two of our highly experienced facilitators who bring energy, humour, and a tonne of hands-on knowledge.

Facilitators from the tools to trainers. They know how to connect with people – whether it’s a new recruit picking up a forklift for the first time or a team leader doing a refresher. Their goal is simple: to make learning relatable, engaging, and useful from day one.

Why Businesses Choose Puatala

We’ve been trusted by companies across logistics, warehousing, construction, and manufacturing because we make training easy, flexible, and culturally grounded.

We know that when people feel comfortable, they learn better – and when they learn better, they work safer.

That’s what Puatala is about.

Real skills. Real people. Real impact.
