Barrie Counterbalance Forklift Training

Barrie Counterbalance Forklift Training - 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, allowing the load's weight to be spread evenly 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 equipment's front so it is visible to the forklift operator. This particular kind of forklift truck should only be used on level, stable ground or on a prepared surface.

Training is required for forklift operators to know the proper method to distribute the load evenly across the forklift arms. Trainees will be taught how to lower and raise the load vertically and how to tilt the forklift mast both backwards and forwards between 5 and 15 degrees. People training would know the RTITB standards required for safely operating the forklift. Trainees will also know the kinds of attachments for the forklift arms.

Types of Counterbalance Forklifts:

Walkie Pallet Trucks
The counterbalance forklift referred to as the Walkie Pallet Truck is best suited for getting into areas which are both small and cramped. This lift is very maneuverable and capable of accessing practically every tight space.

Walkie Stackers
The Walkie Stacker varies from the Walkie Pallet truck primarily when it comes to lift height. The Walkie Stacker can access tight places and has extra lift for high stacking capability. Neither of the Walkie line of lifts can be ridden. The driver has to walk behind them.

Rider Pallet Trucks
Rider Pallet Trucks are designed to be ridden. These riding lifts are great for dock unloading and loading.

Wave Work Assist Vehicle
The Wave Work Assist Vehicle is a counterbalance forklift intended to reach great heights of up to 17 feet.
