Posted By toploader anyone know anything about a restricted licence/permit for forklifts for the use of tippers and site services staff both of who do not use a forklift to its full capacity. i have heard its restricted to the height of the forks working limit with regards to tippers and site services only use a flt to move a cage.my guess is both have to take a full refresher when due.thanks

Posted By Chris Pope Once you have mastered the basics of how to operate a forklift it is possible to assume that it is much like a car and start to use it as a labour saving device in all sorts or ways. Imagine a sort of restricted license for a car ? It would be very unwise to do anything less than a full training and assessment scheme.

Posted By Linda Crossland-Clarke Hi You may mean... If you take a basic operators test on a lift truck which is restricted in some way, then the certificate is endorsed to say you can only use that type of equipment in a certain environment. E.g. When taking the basic operators test, you may only be trained and tested in an enviroment that doesn't require stacking over 2 meters. The full test requires stacking over 3 meters, so the licence issued with an endorsement. Linda SHE Knows.

Posted By RP There is no such thing as a 'Forklift Licence'. But there are plenty of assessment schemes which will ensure your operators are of a standard. Major Contractors insist on CPCS, but there are alternative, and cheaper schemes, such as Equipment Operators Registration Scheme run by the Highways and Construction Training Association. Aslo available are NVQ Units appropriate for FLT's under Construction and Plant qualifications
