What is a Forklift Licence?
Forklift Operators play a crucial role in the running of business operations, giving you the skill and expertise to be able to drive a forklift.
Whether it be operating warehouses, depots, yards, ports or airports – without Forklift Operators goods would not be loaded, unloaded, moved or stored, and as result, the production of a business would grind to a halt.
To be able to operate a forklift, a licence is required. Technically however, there is no such thing as a forklift licence but a lot of the time it is commonly referred to as that. In actual fact, when you are qualified you will receive a Certificate to show to your employer.
Many employers will look for experienced and trained forklift operators before hiring. Legally, every employer has a responsibility under Regulation 9 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 to ensure staff have adequate training before they use work equipment. Having the relevant forklift training ensures you stand out and are knowledgeable and qualified to operate a forklift.
We offer the following training:
- Pivot/bendi
- Reach
- Counterbalance
- Conversions (to other forms of trucks)
All courses comply with the recommendations of The Health and Safety Commission and L117 Approved Code of Practise for Rider Operated Lift Trucks Operator Training.
