A forklift driver, what is that?

A forklift driver operates a forklift used to transport heavy loads (usually on pallets) over a short distance. The job of a forklift driver is to some extent similar to that of a reach truck driver.

  • Transporting goods with the forklift
  • Check the quality and quantity of the load

  • Handle the administration of the documents (recording in records, signing by an authorized employee, etc.)
  • Maintain the forklift truck
  • Keeping the workshop clean and orderly
  • Managing the (warehouse) inventory

 

Where does a forklift operator work?

Forklift drivers usually work in a warehouse, shed or goods storage facility. Forklift drivers are needed in every industry.

There are several types of forklifts. Which one you will work with depends on the company. The most common types are:

  • Electric Pallet Stacker
