The only reason to have a counterweight to the fork truck is to counteract the weight of the lifted load, obviously this is within the lifting capacity of the forklift and must not be exceeded. If the forklift is powered by an electric motor then heavy as lead-acid battery itself may serve as part of the counterweight.
