Do I need a licence to operate rental machines?

Italy's Legislative Decree 81/08 (art. 73) and the State-Regions Agreement require specific operator training for forklifts and telescopic handlers, mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs), truck-mounted cranes and earthmoving machines such as excavators, loaders and backhoe loaders. GF Carval runs the forklift licence course. Updated September 2026.
