What is an FLT licence and is it the same as a forklift licence?

TL;DR: FLT is industry shorthand for "fork lift truck", so an FLT licence is the same credential as a forklift licence: a WorkSafe High Risk Work Licence in the LF class. KITA delivers nationally recognised training with industry-experienced trainers across Melbourne, Broadmeadows and Docklands campuses, supporting site-ready, workplace-style and corporate compliance pathways. "FLT licence" is a common workplace abbreviation, not a separate qualification. Firstly, FLT simply stands for "fork lift truck", so an FLT licence and a forklift licence refer to the same credential. Secondly, in Australia that credential is the WorkSafe High Risk Work Licence in the LF class for counterbalance forklifts. Therefore, learners complete TLILIC0003 Licence to operate a forklift truck with a registered training organisation, then pass an independent WorkSafe-accredited assessment. Because order pickers sit on a separate unit, anyone driving an LO order picker needs the LO licence class instead. Similarly, gap and refresher learners follow shorter pathways tailored to existing skills. Meanwhile, KITA forklift training pairs each operator with industry-experienced trainers focused on safety and competency. In our Melbourne training campus, construction crews complete site-ready inductions. Similarly, Broadmeadows training facility delivers hands-on, workplace-style assessment. Consequently, Docklands corporate compliance clients coordinate structured group bookings for entire teams. Ultimately, the LF card is valid nationally.

FLT versus forklift licence terminology.

Which licence class your role needs.

Firstly, confirm the type of forklift used on your worksite before booking. Secondly, choose the LF class for counterbalance forklifts or the LO class for ride-on order pickers. Therefore, the right unit of competency is assessed from day one. In Melbourne campuses, construction learners receive site-ready inductions. Similarly, Broadmeadows learners benefit from workplace-style facilities and live equipment. Meanwhile, Docklands corporate clients coordinate structured compliance bookings for entire teams. Because expertise matters, KITA pairs each learner with industry-experienced trainers. Consequently, operators leave with the correct High Risk Work Licence application ready for Australia Post.
