Featured Training: Counterbalance B2 Conversion Course for Plastic Injection Moulding Client

At 4KS Forklift Training, we regularly deliver specialist training tailored to the needs of our clients. Last week, our Birmingham team completed a successful onsite programme for a plastic injection moulding service, equipping their operators with the skills to safely and confidently operate a higher-capacity Counterbalance truck.

Course Overview

• Location: Client site in Birmingham
• Training Type: Counterbalance B2 Conversion Course & Refresher
• Number of Candidates: 5
  • 3 completed Refresher training
  • 2 completed Conversion training from B1 to B2

Why the B2 Conversion Course Matters

Counterbalance trucks are classified by lifting capacity:

• B1 trucks cover loads up to 5 tonnes.
• B2 trucks are designed for loads over 5 tonnes, requiring greater awareness and control.

By completing their B1 to B2 conversion course, the candidates can now safely handle heavier loads, expanding their skill set and increasing operational flexibility for the client.

Building Safer, More Efficient Workplaces

This training not only improves workplace safety – by ensuring operators are qualified to handle larger machinery – but also supports the client’s production efficiency. With a skilled team in place, heavy-duty tasks can be carried out with confidence, reducing downtime and keeping operations running smoothly.

Career Development for Operators

For the candidates, completing the B2 conversion course adds real value to their professional skill set. Employers across manufacturing and logistics highly value multi-qualified operators, meaning greater career opportunities for those trained at 4KS.
