Got forklift skills? It’s time to prove it!

Think you’ve got skills on a forklift? Ready to put them to the test against the best of the best?

The Forklift Operator of the Year competition has kicked off as Brisbane Markets Limited (BML), in conjunction with Brismark, Toyota Material Handling, The Drug Detection Agency and SBP Australia, once again conducts the search for this site’s safest and most efficient forklift operator.

2023 Forklift Operator of the Year, Aaron Rizzolo, navigates the course in the event grand final.

As in years past, the competition will run over several weeks, where all participants will be scored on their safe work practices. The top ten operators will then compete over a timed, practical course for a share in the $5,000 prize money.

Registrations are now

open to to all Tenants and Tenant employees who hold a valid Brisbane Markets Forklift Operator Permit, so now is the time to start honing your skills or hassling your favourite forkie to convince them to enter.

Just like last year’s winner, Aaron Rizzolo: you’ve got to be in it to win it!

“It really is a unique experience. It’s good fun and all you need to do to compete is what you do every day on the job anyway,” Rizzolo said about winning the Grand Final obstacle course and taking home the $3,000 prize money.
