Vaughan 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, enabling the weight of the load to be distributed equally across the forklift arms. Counterbalance forklifts are designed so the weight behind the center of gravity is counterbalanced by the weight on the lift. The load is projected out from the front of the equipment so it is visible to the forklift driver. This kind of forklift truck should just be used on level, stable ground or on a prepared surface.
Forklift drivers are required to receive training which will enable them to better understand the right or proper method across the forklift arms. The trainee would know to properly raise and lower the load vertically and how to tilt the mast of the lift truck, moving the mast between 5 and 15 degrees both forwards and backwards. Trainees would know the RTITB standards required for operating the forklift safely. Trainees would also know the kinds of attachments for the arms of the forklift.
Types of Counterbalance Forklifts:
Walkie Pallet Trucks
The counterbalance forklift referred to as the Walkie Pallet Truck is best suited for getting into spaces which are both small and cramped. This lift is highly maneuverable and could access practically whichever tight space.
Walkie Stackers
The Walkie Stacker differs from the Walkie Pallet truck primarily when it comes to lift height. The Walkie Stacker could access tight areas and has extra lift for high stacking capability. None of the Walkie line of lifts can be ridden. The driver has to walk behind them.
Rider Pallet Trucks
The Rider Pallet Truck is designed so the operator could ride it. These riding lifts are perfect for dock loading and unloading.
Wave Work Assist Vehicle
The counterbalance forklift known as the Wave Work Assist Vehicle could reach heights as much as 17 feet.
Sit Down Counter Balanced Trucks
The Sit-down Counterbalance Forklift is made in four-wheel and three-wheel forklift designs. These durable and tough trucks are made to be ridden.
