Our counterbalance conversion courses are perfect for operators who have already been trained to drive a different lift truck and want to learn to drive a counterbalance truck.

So if, for example, you already have a Bendi or Reach Truck certificate, then you can convert to a Counterbalance forklift on one of our conversion courses.

Counterbalance conversion courses can be conducted at our training centre or on-site at customer premises.

The courses are typically 2 day courses conducted with a maximum of 3 trainees, however courses can be conducted over a shorter duration with fewer trainees. 1 Trainee can be converted on a 1 day course for example which can be conducted part time over 2 evenings if required.

Our courses are accredited by RTITB, recognised nationally for Counterbalance Refresher Training.
