Wondering how to start driving a forklift in New Zealand?
It’s easier than you might think. To operate a forklift legally, you’ll need an OSH forklift certificate, which shows you’ve completed approved training. If you're planning to drive a forklift on public roads, you'll also need an F endorsement added to your driver’s licence. Already certified but haven’t operated a forklift in a while? Our refresher forklift training course is designed to update your skills and help you meet workplace health and safety requirements. We also offer specialised training for using a forklift-mounted safety platform, helping operators perform elevated work safely and in line with regulations.
