Okay here is where I have to say this from the experience of knowing people that use forklifts.

It is advisable that you take a course in how to operate one before attempting to use one. There are rules and guidelines governing this. For safety, I would recommend this if you have not.

Also, taking a course, and having the document to show that you have, you can therefore possibly use the ones at whatever location you would need one without purchasing your own.

And if anyone is wondering, I know this from my husband as he had to take a course where he used to work.

Moto is - Safety first!
