Now this is just for my place of employment not for driving on the road...I dont have one nor do I care to get a provisional license but I have been told I need one for insurance purposes. To me its pure bollix. Been driving it for five years and only been told about it now. Anyone out there know. Now it might be different in other countries so to save you all a bit of bother I'm from Ireland..Anyone know. Anybody at all....
oh and yes i do have a forklift license.....

No you need a FLT licence though and there's 2 different types of forklift so make sure your licence covers both. your employers are just being a*ses.

I'd agree with you, pure bollix. If you have certification for driving the flt, the possession or otherwise of a provisional road licence is of no use whatsoever. They might as well say the insurers insist that you wear purple socks!

if your fork lift is not registered for road use or insured as such then as you have a forklift licence then i would say no. The only change to that would be if your truck has to operated where there is a public right of way

Hi as far as i know you do not need a drivers licence to operate a fork lift,just an up to date fork lift licence,but you could also check out the dvla website if you are in the united kingdom

no you just need a certificate from a registered training agencey to say you have passed flt test, but be careful as each licence only covers each differenyt style of flt,so it could be counter balance,sit and reach , turret truck, gas ,petrol, and of road, but also check the rating plates as you need different licences for different weights- to each style of truck
