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