What is a Counterbalance Forklift?
A counterbalance forklift is a type of industrial truck designed to lift and transport heavy loads. Its unique design features a weight at the rear, which counterbalances the load being lifted at the front, allowing for stability and manoeuvrability in tight spaces. These forklifts are widely used in warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities and construction sites due to their versatility and efficiency in handling various materials.
Training Overview
Our Counterbalance Forklift Truck Training programs are designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to operate these machines safely. We offer several courses catering to different experience levels:
- Novice Training: Ideal for individuals with no previous experience. The course includes a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical training over 3 to 5 days, depending on the number of participants.
- Existing Operator Training: For those with prior experience but no formal license. This course typically lasts 2 to 3 days and focuses on enhancing skills and ensuring safety compliance.
- Refresher Courses: Aimed at operators whose licenses are due to expire. These courses are concise, lasting just 1 day, to quickly renew skills and knowledge.
