Driving a forklift on a road
To drive a forklift on a 'road', you must have a driver licence for the appropriate class and an F (forklift) driver licence endorsement. Your forklift must also be registered and have a warrant of fitness - and it may need an alternative fuel certificate.

Operating a forklift
