Can I drive a loader or excavator after taking the driver's license B license?

No, special machinery must have a special operation certificate, and the B certificate is a car driver's license.

For drivers who drive excavators, the certificate they need to apply for is: Excavator Operation Certificate.

The excavator (loader) operation certificate is: a formal operation certificate (also called employment certificate or IC card) type skill certificate and various certification certificates approved by the Ministry of Labor or the Work Safety Supervision Bureau. Because the procedures for applying for an operating license are cumbersome, Xi'an Huidao Excavator (Hook Machine) Parts Center can now apply for excavator loader operating licenses for excavator drivers and loader drivers.

The excavator (loader) operation certificate, also known as the special operation operation certificate, is for those who are engaged in special types of work. They must be familiar with the safety knowledge of the corresponding special type of work and the skills to prevent various accidents. Employees are required to hold a card (IC card) to work, that is, the "Special Operations Operation Certificate of the People's Republic of China" issued by the State Administration of Work Safety before they can work. This certificate is universal across the country. The old version of the certificate is reviewed every 2 years, and the new version of the special operation certificate is reviewed every 3 years.
