A forklift licence is an attractive skill to have for potential employers in the labour hire and warehousing industry. There is huge demand across Australia right now!!

Forklift drivers can be employed in a range of roles, such as:

  • Logistics clerk/assistant
  • Packer

  • Warehouse manager/operations manager/assistant

Forklifts are used to transport containers, crates and bulky items which are too heavy to be lifted or moved to alternate locations. Drivers must have a forklift licence to operate a forklift to move these items safely.

Having this qualification makes you a multi skilled and desirable employee. It can be a point of difference between you and other candidates and means that you’ll be able to do more than just the basic grunt work in a warehousing or labouring role where forklifts are often used.
