Dogs Of War Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 i hold 5 different fork truck licences , the last one gained 4 years ago ,and to be honest none of them were difficult to pass. its all common sense really, although from reading this thread , there is now a more in depth theroy test involved. when i passed my counerbalance and reach tests over 10 years ago it was basically just driving on the test .

As it for the CSCS card it is probably for building sites. Those machines are not standard FLT's. They can lift up to the sixth floor of massive buildings, bout 30m+, and are specialised equipment, not the bog standard runabouts on the shop floor.
