A counterbalance forklift is the most conventional kind of
lift truck in the work place.
Counterbalance lift trucks are versatile and can be operated both
indoors and outdoors. They drive best on flat, smooth surfaces and should be
used in more open spaces due to their large turning circle. The counterbalance
forklift comes in both a three and four-wheel variety and can be powered
by gas, diesel and electric. They
are very powerful and useful trucks for a number of different environments,
lifting a variety of heavy loads.
On

be issued with a certificate of training. This RTITB Certificate ensures you
are compliant with the Health and Safety at work Act 1974, it is also
