    They should be elec counterbalance.
    Been doing it free via some teaching place.
    Had to do H&S, Manual Handling, Fire Awareness etc course first to qualify for free training. Aced those all with 100% so start the actual FL stuff on Wed.
    Just dug out my DeWalt steel toe boots. Looking forward to this. Something a bit bigger than watch bits to focus on for a bit

    yeah good luck just got to remember to double check hight's and be seen to be checking all points all the time remember on one refresher I had I was marked down for not checking all points ( I was but was not moving my head enough to keep the instructor happy ) and he was a right one moaning on how I dismounted as well .. oh remember fork positions that's another one and removing of key at the end my one was really hard on it you did not finish till you hand the keys to him.

    but it is great fun I use the reach most as the other guys did not like sitting side on so I would always end up with that one why they had the balance trucks not that I minded a lot easier to get in to tight corners with a reach and the clearing arch was like almost nothing once you got use to the sideways view

    yeah drove them for about ten years in the late 90's early 2000 the hard bit is not looking at your hands when using the controls and remembering to take the tilt off ... so be fun to see which is your favourite type mine was reach then cherry picker then the one and half ton boss bee but they had such big behinds they was a bugger to swing around and go down an isle backwards but yeah bring backs so good memories
