A day in this role
You begin by checking your turret or stand-up forklift, confirming controls, forks, and safety systems are in top shape. With your RF scanner synced to the warehouse management system, you head into the very narrow aisles and rotate the turret mast to reach high-bay locations with precision. Throughout the shift, you pick, move, and stage products, keep counts accurate, and transport pallets with an electric pallet jack. You’ll load and unload trailers safely, keep your area tidy, and flag any equipment issues right away.
