Forklift Training
Counterbalance Conversion Course
DMP counterbalance conversion courses are perfect for operators who have already been trained to operate a different lift truck and want to learn to operate 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.
These 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.
Our courses are accredited by the Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register (ITSSAR), recognised nationally for Counterbalance Conversion Training.
