Does my Forklift certificate cover me to operate any type of Forklift Truck?
No.
You need to receive training for each type of Forklift Truck that you want to operate i.e. Counterbalance, Reach Truck, Sideloader etc.
These are often separated into categories such as size, weight or lifting height which can restrict what you can and cannot operate.
You should refer to the [permalink id=3218]BITA List[/permalink] to establish what your Forklift training certificate permits.
Is there a minimum age requirement for completing Forklift training?
Yes.
Lift Truck operators in the UK must be over the minimum school leaving age (except in docks where they must be at least 18 years old).
With the exception of Lift Truck operators, there is no minimum age outlined in any UK legislation for operators of other plant machinery.
You can find out more here: HSE Workplace Transport FAQ.
Is there an upper age limit for completing Forklift driver training?
No.
Do I receive a Forklift licence when I complete this training?
There is no such thing as a license as such, for any piece of plant machinery in the UK.
The term ‘licence’ suggests a document issued from a governmental or other constituted authority to operate a Forklift Truck. No such authority exists; there are only accrediting bodies and training providers who operate independently of the HSE or any other government organisation.
Successful candidates do receive a certificate and photo ID card, sometimes referred to as a Forklift ticket; this provides evidence that the candidate has completed a Forklift Truck course and is certified to use the equipment as outlined on the Forklift certification.
Can I use this training to drive a Forklift Truck on the public highway?
To operate a Forklift, whether on the public highway or not, the operator should be properly trained and certified.
Public highways in the UK are governed by the DVLA; the same rules apply for operating plant machinery on the road as with operating a different type of motor vehicle.
- The vehicle must be properly taxed.
- A valid insurance policy must be held.
- The driver must hold a valid road driving licence.
We provide on site training therefore, the client is required to supply the Forklift Truck, all PPE and equipment the candidates require for training purposes, along with sufficient space for practical training and a meeting room to cover theory elements and test.
