If you're doing it in Blacktown then expect to be instructed on how to remove ATM's from walls.

No I don't, if it was being run in Bankstown they'd teach how to stuff every available void on the fork with coke then use it for a few drive bys.

Whats the test like 50 Questions ? are they multiple choice and some written and what do you get tested on when it comes to the driving do they just get you to move some pallets around and prove you can safely drive the forklift ?

it's easy as to pass, you'll have to do a written test and a practical test both of which are almost all common sense things, with a few technical questions about load placement and weight, i can't think of anything easier.. also make sure you maintain 3 points of contact when entering and exiting the forklift, some instructors and assessors or really picky with that..

Cheers mate.

The 3 points of contact is required for all machinery. Don't go jumping in and out like you see most operators doing on site.

It's really easy.

I got my forky license before I got my drivers license.
Huge buzz driving 10t forks shifting shipping containers....big ol' tonka trucks.

Something I've always wanted to have a go at.....I reckon it'd be fun....

Paying your way through uni??

Worked for a while in a quarry.
It was all sorts of cool with lots of big toys.

The forks...as stated, 988 loaders, 50 t dump trucks, O&K drill rigs, D9 bull dozers.

Luckily I managed to get my tickets in most of them during my time.

Not small bits of kit

Doing the morning pre-shift services on the 50t dumpies re: checking fluid levels, fueling up as always a rather interesting start to the day esp. considering I'm only 5'2.
