From 1 Day at £399 + VAT per day for 3 persons

The counter balance lift truck is one of the most commonly used forklift trucks in all different environments. These trucks have the fork at the front of the truck with no ‘arms’ the extend it, so drivers need to be accurate and drive the truck right up to the load.

These trucks are used very commonly in warehouses and factories and are often the first point of call for anyone wishing to get into learning how to drive a forklift truck for their job. Anyone driving a forklift truck of any kind will need to continually update their training to ensure they are not only complying with industry policies and procedures but also the Health and Safety at Work Act.
