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.
