Why do I have to get a forklift license?
This so-called „forklift license“ is a certificate that is intended to ensure that every driver attends a forklift school in order to learn about and master the special features and specific functions of industrial trucks/forklifts. To be able to correctly assess and avoid the associated potential dangers for yourself and others. That is why “ Get a forklift license “ is so important in a forklift training course.
The forklift driver’s license is therefore a sought-after document that entitles you to drive and operate industrial trucks. That is why you have to attend a course that includes a theoretical and practical part. These two parts are usually completed after a maximum of two days.
If you have prior knowledge of how to use forklifts and an understanding of the technical aspects of them, you can get a forklift driver’s license in one day. If you have no prior knowledge, you can only do this on one day at your location if you complete the theoretical part online in e-learning/online forklift school beforehand. If you have no prior knowledge and would like theory and practice on your location, this is only possible on two days. We mainly operate in the NRW area, but we can also operate nationwide for you.

For which forklifts do we offer training?
front forklift truck
What is a front forklift?
A front forklift and a stacker are pallet trucks with their own drive and lifting frame, which are used to stack pallets and fill storage racks. These front forklifts are available with different lifting capacities from one ton to eight tonnes, the lifting height is usually up to six metres.
In order to be able to serve high racks, there are also stackers with much more weight and lifting frames up to twelve metres. In Germany, only up to ten metres are permitted. The first forklift was developed by the Eugene Clark company in 1924 and is still built there today.
The so-called front forklift truck is a forklift truck in which the driver’s seat is aligned in the direction of travel of the forks. This means that the driver has the load constantly in view and can, for example, dangerous situation react immediately. The front forklift truck is the most common and is used for all purposes.
However, there are also a few disadvantages, including the large turning circle, if the forklift is equipped with four wheels and the low stability. The front forklift truck is therefore not suitable for narrow aisles and heavy loads.
Steering types on the forklift:
A distinction is made between mechanical, hydraulic and electrical actuation of the steered wheels or the steered wheel or a combination of these.
• Hydraulic steering on a four-wheel forklift
• Hydromechanical steering on a three-wheel forklift
Axle constructions
The axle design has a decisive influence on the stability and driving safety of a forklift truck.
The following constructions are used:
• Rigid axle : design for the non-steerable axle
• Pivot axle : similar to that on a truck trailer, used only with three-wheeled forklifts
• Swing axle : solid axle body that is connected centrally (swinging) to the vehicle frame, the wheels are pivotally mounted.
• Combination axle : Pivot axle steering in conjunction with a short swing axle
With certain attachments you can use a forklift even more specifically.
Here is a small list of attachments :
• A bale clamp for transporting pallets without a pallet
• Roll or barrel clamp for transporting barrels
• A carpet mandrel for transporting carpets
• A feed fork enables the load to be loaded onto the opposite side of a truck or wagon.
• The crane hook , which can be used wherever craneable loads need to be lifted, lowered or moved.
Telescopic forklift – telescopic loader – Get a forklift license
What are telescopic forklifts / telescopic loaders?
We can answer the question quickly. These are forklifts that are off-road and have a variable range thanks to the telescopic mast.
These telescopic forklifts are differentiated between rigid or rotating upper carriages.
These telescopic forklifts / telescopic loaders are used in transshipment points , on construction sites and in agriculture .
The telescopic loader or telescopic forklift is a forklift with a variable range because the forklift has a telescopic arm. Thus, its load capacity changes not only through a changed load center distance, but also through a variable horizontal range.
The rigid telescopic forklift makes it possible to move the load pick-up only in the direction of the lifting axis; no other movement of the telescopic arm is possible. Telescopic forklifts of this type are primarily designed for load transport; picking up and setting down loads does not always have to be carried out with the utmost precision.
With the rotating uppercarriage, the lifting unit can be rotated through 360°, independently of the truck’s chassis. This allows the truck to be orientated as required. In this way, it is possible to pick up loads at one point and set them down at another, just like with a stationary construction machine, simply by moving the uppercarriage 360° and extending the telescopic mast.
The telescopic forklift and its supports:
Outriggers increase the stability of the telescopic handler and at the same time provide greater lifting power and reach in the telescopic handler. The driver can control the stabilisers sensitively, each one symmetrically. When using the platform, the operator must observe important handling instructions in the operating instructions.
To avoid dangerous situations, a forklift license for telescopic forklifts is also required here in Germany.
Container stacker/
Reachstacker stacker
Container stackers and reach stackers – the working tools for the port
⇒ What do you need for a container stacker license/reach stacker? Here you can find information about get a forklift license! To operate a container stacker/reach stacker forklift, you need a special driving license called a container stacker license/reach stacker forklift license. To obtain this license, you must complete additional training and pass a practical test.
⇒ What is a container stacker/reach stacker forklift? A container stacker, also known as a reach stacker, is an industrial forklift-like vehicle used for moving and stacking containers in the harbour. With a long arm that can extend and grip a container, the container stacker can stack and move multiple layers of containers.
In addition to training, it is also important that the operator has comprehensive knowledge of how to use the container handler/reach stacker as well as occupational health and safety. In addition, container handler/reach stacker operators must ensure that their employees are regularly trained and tested to ensure safe and efficient operation.
The use of container stacker/reach stacker trucks in the port is essential to improve the efficiency and capacity of container storage and movement. A qualified operator is crucial for the safety and efficiency of the entire operation.
In summary, a container stacker / reach stacker forklift is an important work colleague in the port that is needed for stacking and moving containers. To operate a container stacker/reach stacker forklift, it is important to have a forklift license in order to then obtain the container stacker license entry, which requires special training and testing. In addition, operators must ensure that their employees are regularly trained and tested to ensure safe and efficient operation.
One way to obtain a container stacker license / reach stacker license is through qualified training at a recognised training facility. One such organisation is junge-kranausbildung.de – get a forklift license. This offers comprehensive training that covers both theoretical and practical aspects of handling the container stacker/reach stacker forklift. After successfully completing the training, participants can take an exam to obtain the container stacker/reach stacker forklift license.
In addition, junge-kranausbildung.de also offers training and refresher courses to ensure that operators and users of container handlers/reach stackers are always up to date with the latest developments and safety standards.
To summarise, a container stacker/reach stacker forklift is an important part of port operations and a qualified operator is essential to ensure safe and efficient operations. Forklift training at a recognised institution such as junge-kranausbildung.de can help to obtain the container stacker/reachstacker forklift license and acquire the necessary skills and knowledge.

Reach truck
What is the difference to other forklift trucks?
Reach trucks, or reach trucks, correspond to the type of powered industrial trucks.
On a reach truck, the mast is pushed forwards with the load pick-up and can be lowered to the ground. To pick up or drop off the load, the entire mast is pushed forwards via rollers in the wheel arms of the reach truck.
Once the load has been picked up, the mast is retracted and lies within the wheel arms again – perfect for transporting pallets.
Pallets lying on the floor can be picked up without any problems; transverse load units must first be lifted in order to lift them over the wheel arms.
The reach truck driver sits at right angles to the direction of travel, with the drive axle of the three-wheel versions (turntable adjustable by up to 360°) on the side facing away from the load.
One of the major advantages is that the centre of gravity of reach trucks is located within the wheel plane. This reduces the risk of tipping and the reach truck can be built considerably shorter, which makes it easier to operate in narrow aisles.
Their forks and masts are similar to the corresponding elements of the counterbalance forklift, but when picking up and placing pallets on the shelves, the truck moves exactly in the centre in front of the load and the mast moves outwards, which makes handling easier.
Reach trucks are mostly used indoors and are particularly suitable for high-bay warehouses.
The strength of a reach truck therefore lies in the vertical storage area and in narrow storage units.
The reach truck with wheel arms also has predominantly smaller tyres than other industrial trucks. This makes them somewhat slower, but they can only be used on smooth surfaces.
But this is not a problem, as reach trucks are usually only used inside warehouses, where they can glide with ease on the smooth surfaces of warehouses.
High bay forklift
High bay stackers, also known as narrow aisle stackers or order pickers, are specialised stackers that can work at great heights in narrow warehouse aisles between racks. The main purpose of a high-rack stacker is to efficiently stack and pick goods while placing them safely on the warehouse shelves. These machines are an indispensable addition to modern warehouses and ensure optimum utilisation of the available storage space.
An important difference to conventional forklift trucks is the fact that high-rack stackers are guided in special forced rails. This ensures precise and safe navigation in the narrow aisles between the racks. Thanks to the mast and the precise control system, the high-rack stacker can lift goods to impressive heights and place them exactly where they are needed.
Due to these specific requirements, specialised training for high-bay forklift trucks is essential to ensure that drivers have the necessary knowledge and skills to operate these machines safely and efficiently.
Another important difference between forklift trucks and high-rack stackers lies in the qualifications and training required. To operate a forklift truck, no special training is usually required, whereas operating a high-rack stacker requires special training and an additional qualification, as there are a greater number of safety regulations and rules that must be followed.
At Junge-Kranausbildung, we offer comprehensive training courses for high-rack stackers. Our training courses cover not only the operation and control of the truck, but also an understanding of specific features of high bay forklifts and why they need to be in constrained rails. We emphasise safety in the workplace and compliance with regulations to prevent accidents and damage.
Annual training for high bay forklift drivers is of great importance to us. These training sessions update drivers‘ skills and knowledge to ensure that they are always up to date with the latest safety regulations and procedures.
With our qualified training, you will be well prepared to operate high-rack stackers safely and efficiently in warehouses, while taking into account thesrequirements and special features of these specialised machines.
A distinction is made here between the following forklift license test levels:
Level 1 concerns the general training for the forklift license, which is usually carried out in practice on a front forklift truck
Level 2 concerns the additional training for the forklift driving license for the following types of forklift: telescopic forklift, high-rack forklift, reach truck please request more here
What do these get a forklift license test levels mean for you in practice?
We assume that you have a forklift driving license. A front forklift truck is registered. If you are now to operate a telescopic handler / high rack stacker / reach truck / narrow aisle stacker / truck mounted stacker / sideloader / container stacker, you must also complete level 2 of the forklift driving license. This takes place in theory, which is also possible online, as well as in practice at your site/construction site.
