To get an F endorsement, you need to do an F endorsement course<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An F endorsement allows you to drive a forklift on a public road, as long as the forklift has a warrant of fitness and a current registration. The definition of ‘road’ is quite broad and includes areas that are generally available to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A forklift F endorsement stays valid as long as your class 1 licence is valid. You can renew the F endorsement by paying a fee when you renew your class 1 car licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Operator’s Certificate (OSH certificate or forklift licence<\/a>) covers the core theory and basic driving competence that you need to know to operate a forklift in a generic environment using a generic forklift. Additional training or induction will be required if you are lifting loads other than pallets, using attachments (e.g. a rotator or bale clamp), or the forklift has non-standard features, such as turret trucks, articulated trucks or empty container handlers. The operator’s certificate must be renewed every three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What extra theory do you need to know for the F endorsement?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When you do the F endorsement course there’s a little extra theory that you need to know. Some of this is already covered in the forklift operator’s certificate course<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving a forklift on the road: this is all simple, basic information that you would already know if you drove a car such as using your indicators and lights, and giving way to other traffic. You’ll need to know what a road is – this is even covered in the learner <\/a>licence test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal requirements: make sure the WoF and registration are current and that the licence plate,\u00a0label and WoF label are visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Weight limits: if you have a class 1 licence you can drive a forklift up to 18000kg but you need a class 2 <\/a>licence to drive one that weighs more than 18000kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weights and dimensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maximum width is 2.55m, maximum height is 4.3m, maximum weight on a twin-tyred axle is 8200kg, maximum weight on a single-tyred axle is 6000kg, maximum speed for solid tyres and rigid suspension is 10km\/h, over-dimension flags are required when the load projects more than 200mm from the body. This is very similar to class 2 requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Documents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Documents that relate to forklift licensing: Truck Loading Code, The Road Code, the Approved Code of Practice and various traffic regulations and legislation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minimising risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Travel slowly, use a spotter<\/a> or someone to help direct traffic, avoid driving when traffic is busy, put out temporary warning signs and cones, and use your horn and warning lights to alert other drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Load security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have to make sure that any load you carry on your forks on a public road is secured properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Environmental factors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weather, lighting, other road users and road conditions + the impact they have on driving the forklift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
