We are considering the use of a combilift in our warehouse. Which forklift licence would this come under - counterbalance or reach, or does it matter?
Any advice will be appreciated.

this type of equipment would need specific training. Pushing it a bit to let a reach truck or counterbalance truck operator loose on it without being suitably trained. I'd speak to the training provider for advice.
Oh....and there's no such thing as a FLT license, its a certificate.

Thanks - I meant certificate!
I also agree with you that they need to be trained. Is this just a familiarity training to adjust from the counterbalance/reach trucks, or is this a specific course requiring a new certificate?
My employer is under the impression that it is the former, and also understands that only those with a reach truck certificate can operate the combilift.
Kind regard

specific, I would think, complete with new certificate. There may be a conversion course available, speak to the training provider.

additional basic training is required, and a cert of basic training issued, as the fork controls and the safety principles are the same a conversion course should be suitable for most operators with either reach or frontlift certificates.

Sorry forget to say
Why not approach your potential supplier to provide the training as part of the deal, in this economic climate an instructor for the week is the least you could expect

what type of Combi are you referring to ??. if you are looking at a piece of equipment where the cab lifts with the forks then this would come under specific training,if you are talking about the articulated cb/reach type of equipment them familiarisation training will be required. talk to the company who is supplying the equipment they should be able to advise & offer the training required.
