Counterbalance Forklift Training British Columbia - Demand is always high for our popular Counterbalance Forklift Truck Training courses. A Counterbalance forklift refers to a forklift with a weight which counters the balance, enabling the weight of the load to be distributed equally across the arms of the forklift. Counterbalance forklifts are made so the weight on the lift is counterbalanced by the weight behind the centre of gravity. The load is projected out from the front of the machine so it is visible to the forklift operator. This kind of forklift truck must only be used on stable, level ground or on a prepared surface.
Training is required for forklift drivers to understand the proper way to distribute the load evenly across the forklift arms. Trainees would know how to lower and raise the load vertically and how to tilt the mast of the forklift both backwards and forwards between 5 and 15 degrees. Trainees would be taught the RTITB standards needed for operating the forklift safely. Individuals training would likewise know the kinds of attachments for the arms of the forklift.
