Weekly Forklift Training Updates: Counterbalance, Reach, Bendi, MEWP & More!
Here’s your latest forklift training update from 4KS Forklift Training and what a week it has been! From a busy Bank Holiday start at Birmingham to packed courses in Peterborough and a wide range of onsite training across the UK, we’ve been helping candidates and companies stay safe, skilled, and certified.
Birmingham Training Centre
The week began on Bank Holiday Monday with candidates completing their Counterbalance and Reach Truck courses from the weekend.
From Tuesday, we welcomed more trainees, including candidates from the UK’s largest vehicle manufacturer and a female candidate from FareShare Midlands all completing their RTITB Accredited Counterbalance Novice course with success.
Our Combined Counterbalance & Reach Truck course continues to be in high demand, offering candidates the benefit of two certificates and greater flexibility in the logistics industry.
Later in the week, Birmingham also hosted a MEWP Novice course and a Bendi Conversion course, rounding off another busy schedule at the centre.



Onsite Training Highlights
Our instructors were travelling across the UK delivering a wide range of onsite training. This included:
- Bendi Conversion courses
- Combi-Lift training
- Counterbalance Novice and Experience courses
- MEWP Novice courses
- Pallet Stacker Refreshers
This variety shows the flexibility and adaptability of our training team, ensuring clients get the courses they need at their own locations.


Peterborough Training Centre Highlights
Meanwhile, at our Peterborough centre, the schedule was just as full. Courses included:
- Counterbalance Novice training
- Combined Counterbalance & Reach Truck Novice courses
- PPT Conversion and Refresher training
Peterborough continues to be a hub for both private individuals and company bookings, with weekend courses ensuring candidates can train at times that suit them best.
