Construction machines

Updated: 3 May 2012

Construction machines are special vehicle types that run on tracks, rollers or wheels but are not forklifts. They are often used on construction sites and in the earth-moving industry.

Driving a construction machine on a road

To drive a construction machine on a road, you must have a driver licence for the appropriate class and the relevant driver licence endorsement. Find out more.

Operating construction machinery

To operate construction machinery, you must be trained to use it safely.
