Counterbalance Forklift Training BC - Demand is always high for our popular Counterbalance Forklift Truck Training courses. A Counterbalance forklift refers to a forklift together with a weight that counters the balance, allowing the load's weight to be spread evenly across the arms of the forklift. Counterbalance forklifts are designed so the weight on the lift is counterbalanced by the weight behind the centre of gravity. The load is projected out from the machine's front so it is visible to the driver of the forklift. This kind of forklift truck should only be utilized on prepared surface or on level, stable ground.
Forklift drivers are required to acquire training that will allow them to better know the right or proper way across the arms of the forklift. The trainee would learn to correctly raise and lower the load vertically and how to tilt the mast of the lift truck, moving the mast between 5 and 15 degrees both forwards and backwards. Individuals training will learn the RTITB standards needed for safe forklift operation. Trainees would also know the types of attachments for the forklift arms.
