Very often in job ads you can find offers for forklift drivers. The profession is indeed very popular. However, a prerequisite for performing such work is that you have the right to work with a forklift. How to get such rights and how difficult is it?
Instructions
Step 1
A forklift truck is a vehicle that has little to do with any other car or truck. The loader requires very special management skills, handling loads, and compliance with safety measures. It is for this reason that an ordinary driver's license of any category is not enough to operate a forklift. In order to be eligible to drive a forklift, you must obtain a certificate of the appropriate sample, which will confirm the fact that you have the proper qualifications.
Step 2
Loader rights are classified as tractor driver rights. To qualify for a forklift driving license, you must complete a forklift driving course. In the process of training, those wishing to acquire the rights to a forklift will have to learn a lot both about the rules for working with loads and about the structure of the forklift itself, to study the features of the operation of forklifts in open areas and in closed rooms. In addition, if you do not already have a driver's license of any category, you will be introduced to the rules of the road.
Step 3
You can only operate a forklift after reaching the age of 18. After passing specialized driving courses for working on a forklift, an exam is taken at Gostekhnadzor. Upon successful completion of the training and passing the exam, you get the license for a forklift, as well as a certain category of driving a forklift.
Step 4
The category is assigned depending on the power of the loader, which you can work on, as well as its technical specification. Naturally, the higher the rank received, the wider the list of vehicles of this category with which you have the right to work, the more you will be in demand on the labor market.
Step 5
The received certificate will be valid for 10 years, after which it will be necessary to undergo retraining and change the certificate to a new one.
