ForkLift Courses
At Professional Training Solutions, we provide two types of Forklift courses for forklift licences that are useful and required in many different industries and job requirements.
What’s the difference between the LO and LF forklift licence?
The key component that differentiates an Orderpicker forklift (LO) from a standard (LF) Forklift Licence is the type of vehicle the licence is intended for.
An LF licence allows you to operate any forklift truck, excluding a load-shifting order picking truck (or LO classified vehicle).
Whereas an LO licence will only qualify you to operate a load-shifting order picker and a “turret truck”.
Please note a Telehandler is not a forklift and does not come under either the Orderpicker or the Forklift courses. If you wish for more information in regard to Telehandler, please follow the link to the correct course page.
A standard forklift truck is equipped with a pair of fork arms that can be raised from 9m above the ground, making it easier to transfer heavy or multiple packaged items in a warehouse setting. The forklift is operated from the driver’s seat and steering wheel and doesn’t require the driver to be elevated at any point or attached to a harness.
The operation of an LO picking truck, on the other hand, requires the driver to wear a harness attached to the machine and the operator stands on a platform that rises and lowers to enable the driver to pick stock at varying levels off racking up to 10m high in the air.
