The OSHA does require operators using a counterbalanced forklift to have received classroom or lecture style training. They additionally require that a supervised driving course is finished as well as periodic refresher training. There is no minimum time requirement for the classroom training or supervised driving. Additionally, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
The counterbalanced forklift's weight is utilized to balance its load using its own weight. The forklift forks are in a fixed position but can be lowered and raised to secure and move cargo. The forks run parallel to the forklift's body. OSHA require that people who would be utilizing counterbalanced forklifts on the job be properly trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they will be using them.
Training either lecture style or in a classroom will provide forklift and operator information for the truck you will be operating. Most training will include several aspects such as the load and weight capacity, height, how to fuel or charge the forklift. It covers how to gauge the time on the engine as well as any forklift specific safety information like where to stand when walking around the truck. Either written and/or oral testing is part of the classroom training. There is no required minimum time for the training.
The driver of a forklift would need to learn to utilize the machine while being supervised. The supervised driving needs to take place in an environment which resembles the present environment that the driver works in. This atmosphere should include the kind of terrain she will be traveling on, have the same surrounding structures nearby, and similar vehicle and pedestrian traffic nearby too. There is no specific minimum number of hours the driver needs to drive while being supervised.
