Forklift Training – Get Your Forklift Licence

Find out about our fast-track Cat. C+E training

If you will be using any kind of fork lift, proper training is essential to ensure your own safety and that of the people around you. Technically speaking, you do not need a fork lift licence, but rather a recognised certificate to use a forklift. You also don’t need to hold a driving licence to operate a forklift truck, unless travelling on a public road.

There are many different kinds of fork lift, all of which are designed to serve a particular purpose. These include:

  • Counterbalance forklift
  • Reach forklift
  • Moffett, or truck-mounted forklift
  • Pivot Steer forklift
  • Powered Pallet trucks

We will discuss your specific requirements with you.
