Weekly Forklift Training Highlights: Counterbalance Focus, Evening Onsite Delivery & Bendi Conversions
Another strong week of RTITB accredited forklift training across our Birmingham and Peterborough centres – alongside multiple onsite courses delivered nationwide. Here’s our forklift training highlights for last week.
From Counterbalance Novice standouts to flexible evening training for our bakery client, it’s been another busy and productive week for the 4KS team.

While we delivered a variety of courses this week, the Counterbalance Novice programme was the standout.
