What is a forklift licence?
The forklift licence – also known as a forklift truck licence, forklift operator licence or driver's permit for industrial trucks – is proof that you have been trained to operate forklift trucks and other industrial trucks safely. It is based on DGUV Vorschrift 68 "Flurförderzeuge" (industrial trucks) and DGUV Grundsatz 308-001.
At Staplerschule1 you complete the entire theory online and then attend a practical day with a practical exam on site. After passing, you receive your forklift licence and your certificate.
Who needs a forklift licence?
Anyone who wants to operate forklift trucks, reach trucks or other industrial trucks with a driver's seat or operator platform – in warehousing, logistics, industry, retail and on construction sites.
For beginners & job seekers
Ideal for career changers and anyone who wants to improve their prospects in warehousing, logistics and production – no prior experience required.
For companies
