T he Walford Campus of North Shropshire College ( NSC ) has taken delivery of two new telehandlers for the students to practice their skills on , one a JCB supplied from Rea Valley Tractors and a Massey Ferguson from RVW Pugh .
“ These machines will offer students an excellent opportunity to develop skills ” commented Farm Manager Richard Aldis . Telehandlers are now an invaluable tool for modern day farming so by giving students the time to practice their driving , they learn about servicing and also are able to gain their telehandler licence to be ready to enter the working environment .
The College also uses these machines to offer outside organisations and individuals training in the safe use of telehandlers .
