Counterbalance lift trucks are widely used for moving materials and goods. Without the correct training they can be particularly dangerous in the workplace. The Health and Safety Commission has published an Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and guidance called Rider-operated lift trucks: Operator training, that set out the legal minimum standard of basic training which people should receive before they are allowed to operate certain types of lift truck.

This training course meets the HSE standards and provide learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to safely operate the machinery.
