Who needs a forklift endorsement?
If you drive a forklift on the road, you must have an F endorsement on your driver licence.
You also need the class of driver licence appropriate for the weight of the forklift including its load:
- A class 1 driver licence (with an F endorsement) covers forklifts with a weight of up to 18,000kgs when loaded.
- A class 2 driver licence (with an F endorsement) covers forklifts with a weight over 18,000kgs when loaded.
What’s the definition of a road?
The definition of a road, for the application of transport laws, is very broad. It includes not only streets and highways, but also any place the public has access to (by right or not) including bridges, culverts, beaches, riverbeds, reserve lands, wharves and road shoulders. A factory yard with no gate may also fit this definition.
If you drive a forklift in any of these areas, the rules relating to registration, licensing and general driver behaviour all apply.
