Training FAQ

Common questions about forklift and load courses.

Do I need a car driving license for a forklift?

No, you do not need a car license to operate a forklift on private property. However, you must be of school leaving age and physically fit.

How long does the novice course take?

For a complete novice, a Counterbalance course is typically 3-5 days depending on the number of trainees, to ensure sufficient driving time.

What is the difference between Counterbalance and Reach?

Counterbalance is the standard ‘front loader’ used in yards. Reach trucks are designed for indoor warehouses with high racking and narrow aisles. They require separate licenses.

Does the IPAF Load/Unload course cover driving on the road?

No, it covers the specific activity of loading and unloading MEWPs from a vehicle. It does not cover HGV driving legislation.
