I've done the search and seen what is required to put a fork lift on the road to traverse the half mile between our two sites. The question is has anyone had experience of registering a truck for such a purpose, what hassles did you go through and how much did it cost?

Thanks Alan,
Have already seen that page and copied it to my notes so I ask again has anyone had experience of registering a truck for such a purpose, what hassles did you go through to get it registered (if any) and how much did it cost?

Barrie,
Not registered a forklift but have registered a few imported scooters £55 a throw. Try the DVLA website they have full registration packs for "standard" and "non-standard" vehicles (V55 etc) with the costs and a full checklist of documentation required, MOT, Insurance Yes you need insurance to register for road use, using the chassis and engine number instead of the usual registration No.

I went through this process a couple of years ago to licence a truck for public road use.
As usual, when dealing with the DLVA it was a little more complicated than it needed to be, mainly because of the evidence we needed to produce (See DVLA Form “INF 148” “Licensing a vehicle using V/55”). The other problem was their definition of a “special vehicle” (apparently this goes on the weight of the truck, but ours didn’t fit into their parameters!).
The truck itself would need to be “roadworthy” (lights, indicators, warning beacon and seat belts), and would need to be insured for road use. The cost for registration and taxing is (or was 2 years ago) £38 for first registration, and £165 a year to tax it as a “special vehicle”.
Assuming truck isn’t new, you’ll need a CE declaration of conformity and you’ll also need to fill in some technical data regarding the truck in question.
Other than that, quite straightforward !
Hope this helps.
David

Barrie,
If you do not have the CE cert' my understanding (scooter based!) is you will need to have a SVA or type test, the first registration fee is now £55 as I mentioned earlier.

The CE Declaration of Conformity can be obtained from the manufacturer, but it should already be with the original paperwork which came with the truck when it was purchased. The DVLA needed this because our truck was made outside of the UK - not sure if it would be required for a truck manufactured within the UK.
Cheers - David

This battery truck was purchased w/out my knowledge (consultation, the only paperwork that has come with it is the service records. So I take it I'm either stuck or does anyone know what is involved in type testing?

As long as you know the manufacturer of the truck (along with the ID number of your specific model - i.e. chassis number, serial number etc), you should be able to request a CE cert from them.
Just as an aside, you probably need this info anyway in order to comply with PUWER and LOLER requirements (fit for purpose etc).
Regards - David
