COUNTERBALANCE FORKLIFT TRAINING
Our Counterbalance Forklift Training Courses
Total Compliance offers a wide range of training courses for the transport and construction industries, including forklift truck training.
Counterbalance forklifts are the most commonly used type of forklift truck and are typically required in industrial premises such as warehouses and construction sites. A valid forklift licence is a requirement for many jobs in warehouses, logistics, construction and similar industries where forklift trucks operate.
Our counterbalance forklift training courses teach operatives how to safely operate a forklift. The course is taught at the following 3 different levels:
- Novice - This course is for operators who have little or no experience. The objective is to equip operatives with the confidence, knowledge and skills required to safely and efficiently operate a counterbalance forklift truck.
- Experienced – This course is for operators who are competent and experienced on a counterbalance forklift but have not received any approved training or are unable to prove previous counterbalance forklift certification.
- Refresher - This course is for forklift drivers who are able to produce an accredited certificate but have not operated trucks for some time or are only an occasional user. This course is also useful for drivers who may have developed unsafe working practices, had an accident or near miss, or changed their working practices.
