Forklifts & Vehicles

Forklifts and other vehicles are essential to business operations at the Melbourne Market. The safe operation and upkeep of vehicles is the responsibility of the relevant market business and is regulated by the Melbourne Market Authority (MMA) through vehicle registration and the Melbourne Market Operating Rules. When operating a forklift, you are also responsible for the safety of the people around you.

Registration, renewal & transfer

Forklifts and other vehicles operating in the Market must be registered with both VicRoads and the Melbourne Market Authority (MMA) to ensure they meet each organisation's safety standards. So this can be verified, all vehicles must display a current MMA registration plate, registration expiry sticker and VicRoads registration plate.


For detailed information on how to register, renew, transfer or dispose of a Market vehicle, download the MMA Approved Vehicle Registration, Renewal & Transfer User Guide. Please note that all vehicles must hold a current VicRoads registration before completing the MMA Vehicle Examination Checklist and registering with the MMA.
