A course for the category push-around vertical (PAV) will be offered by IPAF-approved training centres in the UK from January 2010.

IPAF has introduced this course in response to market developments and the need for appropriate training on this new type of machine.

Push-around verticals are essentially small static vertical machines.

However, unlike static verticals (IPAF category 1a), they have no mechanical drive and are physically pushed around.

'We expect the new course to be of interest to contractors and the non-construction sector using this type of equipment for low-level access work,' said Rupert Douglas-Jones, IPAF international training manager.

The equipment covered includes models with no drive, produced by companies such as Genie, JLG, Pop-Up, Power Tower, Upright and Youngman.

The PAV course lasts for half a day and covers both theory and practice.

Operators who are trained in the categories Static Vertical (1a), Mobile Vertical (3a) or Scissor Lift (old IPAF category SL) will also be able to use a push-around vertical (PAV) after being familiarised with the specific machine.
