It is only a few months away to the Grand Final! It's not football, its the National Forklift Championships with great prizemoney and "bragging rights".
Could you do with $1500.00?
The Champion Female and Champion Male will each receive a silver trophy and $1500.00 prizemoney.
How do you win?

- Agree to the competition rules on this website.
- Ideally, have your employers support.
- Compete in a heat and if a winner, be available to compete in the Grand Final.
If you can do all of this - how does the competition work?
- Complete a registration form and pay the entry fee $22.00
- Be able to drive a counter balanced forklift truck.
- Be able to identify site risks or hazards.
- Know each component of your forklift.
- Drive the competition course route within the set timeframe.

How about an In - House Company Competition?
If you work in a company with lots of forklift drivers who think they are pretty good, maybe an In- House competition is a method to see who is best in class. The Australian Warehousing Association has an In - House Kit providing information on the process. They can even arrange a judge to ensure everything is fair and above board. Need more information? Email the National Coordinator - admin@auswa.asn.au
Let's all work together to make forklift safety a lot of fun with a chance to win great prizemoney.
