Do I need to retake the exam if my forklift license has expired?
2 Answers
No need to retake the exam. Here are the relevant details: Introduction 1: Individuals who are at least 18 years old and in good health need to bring their ID card, academic certificate, four recent 2-inch color photos without hats, a safety education and training certificate from the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau, and an internship certificate to register at the Special Equipment Safety Supervision Department of the Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau. A unified exam will be conducted once a certain number of applicants is reached. Introduction 2: Training is provided through formal training institutions, which then report to the municipal Safety Supervision Bureau to assess the driver. The forklift license can be obtained only after passing both the theoretical and practical exams. Introduction 3: The forklift driver exam includes a written test and a practical test, with the latter covering pile driving and road tests. Training schools provide guidance for the forklift exam. If you lack practical experience, it is recommended to attend a training class. Otherwise, you may need to pay additional fees for retakes if you fail the exam.
I just encountered this situation! An expired forklift license is no joke. According to the Special Equipment Safety Law, the operating certificate must be reviewed every 4 years. If it's overdue by more than 3 months, it will be directly invalidated, and you'll have to retake both the theoretical and practical exams. Last week, Xiao Chen from our factory drove a forklift with a license that had been expired for five months and was fined 5,000 yuan by the safety supervision department. Special reminder: the exams are much stricter now, requiring 20 hours of retraining. It's recommended to check the designated test centers on the local government website, with fees around 600 yuan. Never resort to scalpers for fake certificates—getting caught will result in disqualification.
