In the United States, for example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not require a license to operate an electric forklift on public highways. However, some states may have their own regulations regarding the operation of forklifts on public highways, and these regulations may vary from state to state.
It is important to check the regulations in the jurisdiction in which you are operating to determine whether a license is required to operate an electric forklift on public highways.
In general, it is recommended that you have the appropriate training and certification to operate an electric forklift, regardless of whether a license is required in your jurisdiction. This training can help you to safely and efficiently operate the forklift, and can help you to avoid accidents and injuries.
