IPAF Triple 1b, 3a & 3b Operator Training

This comprehensive course combines training across three IPAF operator categories: 3a (scissor lifts / mobile vertical platforms), 3b (boom lifts / mobile booms, including cherry pickers), and 1b (static and push-around boom platforms with outriggers, such as spider lifts). Delivered at Pulse Hire's IPAF training centre in Wakefield, this is the most comprehensive single booking available for gaining powered access qualifications across both mobile and static platforms.
