Default Forklift jobs without heavy lifting
Do most forklift jobs require you to get out and stack stuff on a pallet? Is there some where you can stay in the forklift all day?

There are times when you will have to get out and manually lift pallets with most of these jobs...

Even if you find a job that you can stay in the fork all day (something like Coles D.C unloading delivery trucks) you still need to get out to restack the pallets when you drop stuff. You will drop stuff.

The funny thing is it sounds like something you would do.

If someone is stupid enough to try restack a pallet like that they don't deserve their arm.

Pallets are dangerous if not stacked properly. We have pallets at work stacked 700kg and 1000kg....and they have fallen a few times due to an idiot on the factory floor not stacking them properly...Soy Flour everywhere!!! Funny as!! but not if you are under it!!

Got a pic of me covered in flour though....gonna be this years Xmas card!!

Why? Whats wrong with you that you need to be in a seat all day?


Even if you found one, I doubt it would be an entry level job.

all you do is hear this and hear that.

why dont you go out, ring the forklift licencing people and get some HARD FACTS instead of all this hearsay crap.

You should have waited till you rang the people before posting another useless thread. Then there wouldn't have been a need...
