TDT was a great first impression, everyone's amazing and super helpful. Personally i had Scott as my trainer and assessor when completing my Heavy Rigid truck licence.  He was absolutely amazing, super friendly and talkative which helped with nerves as well as being super clear and simple with all of his instructions. Which ultimately made it super easy to drive without stressing about anything. Scott is really polite but really straight to the point, which I think is great. Thank you Scott and thank you tdt😃

My experience with TDT Training was excellent; I highly recommend my instructor, Ron, for his exceptional support. He provided clear, accessible explanations for all my questions and fostered a supportive environment that significantly boosted my confidence in driving. Looking forward to coming back for my HC licence in the future with Ron.

A huge thank you to David for helping me successfully get my HR licence! I was extremely nervous before my driving test, but David was incredibly patient, supportive and positive throughout the whole training session. He explained everything clearly and gave me plenty of opportunities to practise until I felt comfortable and confident. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I became much more confident and relaxed, and the test felt so much easier and more manageable. David is an excellent trainer who genuinely wants his students to succeed. I really appreciate all his patience, encouragement and support. Highly recommend David to anyone looking to get their HR licence. Thank you so much, David!

FAQ's

What is an order picker forklift?

An order picker forklift is a type of industrial vehicle specifically designed for the manual handling of individual items within a warehouse or storage facility. Unlike traditional forklifts, which are usually used to lift, move, and place pallets or large containers, an order picker allows the operator to be elevated along with the forks to manually pick items from shelves. This design facilitates the easy and efficient retrieval of goods stored at various heights. If you’re also interested in operating traditional forklifts, you might consider obtaining a forklift licence.

Is the order picker the same as the forklift?

While both the order picker and the traditional forklifts fall under the broader category of forklifts, they serve different functions and are not the same. A traditional forklift is generally used for lifting, moving, and placing pallets or larger containers. It has a horizontal set of forks, and the operator stays at ground level while operating the machine. In contrast, an order picker is specialised for picking individual items, often smaller, and the operator platform rises along with the forks to allow manual selection of items from shelving at different heights. If you’re looking to get certified for both, consider taking a combined forklift and order picker licence course.

What is the difference between the forklift and the order picker?

• Functionality: Traditional forklifts are primarily used for moving and lifting heavy pallets and containers, while order pickers are designed to pick individual items from racks or shelves manually.
• Operator Position: In a traditional forklift, the operator stays at ground level. In an order picker, the operator is elevated along with the lifting mechanism, allowing direct access to items at various heights.
• Flexibility in Height: Order pickers are generally better suited for operations that require accessing items at various heights, as they can lift the operator to the level of the item to be picked.
• Load Capacity: Traditional forklifts, designed to move pallets and large containers, usually have a higher load capacity than order pickers.
• Space Efficiency: Order pickers are often more compact and manoeuvrable, making them ideal for warehouses where space is a premium and aisles are narrow.

Safety Considerations: Because the operator is elevated in an order picker, additional safety measures like harnesses may be required, depending on the height.

What are the eligibility criteria for enrolling in the Order Picker Licence Training Course in Melbourne?

Eligibility criteria often include being at least 18 years old, having a basic understanding of English (both written and verbal), and meeting certain health and safety requirements. Some courses might also require participants to hold a current driver’s licence or have specific work experience.

What skills and knowledge will I gain from the Order Picker Licence Training Course?

Participants will learn to operate an order picker safely and efficiently, including understanding Australian safety regulations, effective workplace communication, conducting pre-operational checks, manoeuvring and operating the order picker, and responding to hazards and emergencies.

How long is the Order Picker Licence Training Course, and what does the schedule look like?

The course duration is two full days. The schedule typically includes theoretical classroom learning and practical hands-on training.

What are the assessment methods used in the Order Picker Licence Training Course, and how can I prepare?

Assessments include written tests on safety guidelines and operational theory, and practical exams to demonstrate competence in operating an order picker. Preparation involves reviewing course materials, participating in practical training sessions, and studying relevant safety guidelines and regulations.

Upon successful completion of the course, how do I apply for the Order Picker Licence in Victoria?

You need to apply through WorkSafe Victoria or the relevant regulatory body by submitting proof of successful course completion, along with any required personal identification and the applicable fee.

What are the job opportunities available after obtaining an Order Picker Licence, and in which industries?

With an Order Picker Licence, you can find job opportunities in logistics and distribution, warehousing, manufacturing, and retail industries. Positions may include order picker, warehouse operator, inventory specialist, and more.

Is the Order Picker Licence obtained from this course recognised nationally across Australia?

Yes, licences for operating logistics equipment like order pickers are generally recognised across Australia, though regulations can vary by state.

Are there any refresher courses or additional certifications recommended after obtaining the Order Picker Licence?

Refresher courses are recommended every few years to stay updated with safety standards and operational practices. Additional certifications might include forklift operation or high-risk work licences, depending on career goals and industry requirements.
