DMP Training UK Ltd provide Counterbalance/Reach Truck Forklift Driver Training at our Training Centre near Bury St Edmunds and on-site across the East of England.
If you are considering learning to operate a forklift for the first time, then the counterbalance/reach truck is the best place to start.
It is the most common type of forklift truck in the UK with the most popular size category in the 2.5t to 3.5t range.
The counterbalance/reach truck truck operates on a quite simple principle: a counterweight positioned over the back wheels counterbalances the load that is lifted on the forks.
This basic principle forms the foundation for the basic principle in which other lift trucks operate.
