An LF class licence to operate a forklift truck allows the holder to operate forklifts regardless of lifting capacity. This counter balanced unit is rated at 16T. While it could be operated by any holder of a LF licence, an employer would first need to provide information, training, instruction and supervision where the employee was not familiar with such a machine.

While this may seem unrealistic, its true to say that regardless of lifting capacity, counter balanced forklifts are essentially the same as each other in terms of their operational controls and movements. Modern machines, such as this unit from Total Forklift Services in Cannington, come with innovative control features allowing new operators to quickly adapt to the subtle design differences which maximise driver performance and comfort for a safer workplace. 

Whether you require staff to obtain their forklift licence for any LF class machine or receive verification of competence for plant that is unfamiliar to them, Onsite Forklift Licencing can help.
