Counterbalance Forklift Truck Courses
Counterbalance forklift trucks have two forks at the front enabling them to be able to drive close up to loads to pick them up and move them. Counterbalance forklift trucks can be used in a wide variety of environments operating both indoors and outdoors, they operate best on smooth surfaces. Counterbalance trucks are available in both 3 and 4 wheel varieties.
