Good evening all I am looking for some advice and some useful tips on driving the 16 and 32 tonne CB fork trucks.

I am a complete novice to fork trucks I started a 4 day course on Monday snd have my test on Thursday.

For the most part everything seems to be going well and alot of training has been fantastic but I am struggling in one area only and that is putting a load down. I either use too much tilt or not enough.

If anyone can help or give advice on the best way to judge how much is enough tilt by giving examples in references in the mast etc I would certainly appreciate this.

Many thanks and Kind Regards
