A Forklift licence is required if you want to operate in a warehouse because it is classified as high risk work. We are frequently asked about the differences between the LO and LF forklift licences.

With LF licence you can operate any forklift except for the order picker forklifts. This (order picker) is the most common type of forklift used in warehouses. So if you want a specialised forklift to operate within warehouse for stock / order pickup you should obtain LO licence. However, LF is the most popular licence type so if you are yet to find a work or your current work does not require order picking than LF forklift licence may be advisable.
