Counterbalance forklift training

The counterbalance is the most common forklift in the UK, used for loading and unloading vehicles, yard work and general warehouse moves. Our ITSSAR-accredited courses get new operators safe and certified, and keep experienced ones up to standard.

Who it's for

• Warehouse and yard operatives who load and unload lorries
• Production staff moving materials around a site
• Drivers who need to load their own vehicle
• Experienced operators whose certificate has lapsed

What the course covers

• Pre-use inspection and daily checks
• Load handling, lifting and stacking at height
• Safe travel, manoeuvring and pedestrian awareness
• Loading and unloading vehicles
• Battery charging or LPG cylinder changing
• Theory test and practical assessment

Course levels

• Novice: for people who have never operated this type of truck, or have no recognised training.
• Experienced: for operators who have real experience but no current certificate.
• Conversion: for trained operators moving onto a different type of truck.
• Refresher: for certified operators due a reassessment, typically every 3 to 5 years.

Questions employers ask

Do you train on stand-on counterbalance trucks too?

Yes. Tell us which trucks you run and we'll match the course to them, including stand-on counterbalance.

How long is the course?

It depends on experience and group size. Novice courses take longest, refreshers are much shorter. We'll recommend the right length when you tell us about each delegate.

How many people can train at once?

Accredited courses have maximum instructor-to-delegate ratios, especially for novices. Let us know your numbers and we'll plan the groups.
