About role
You drive a counterbalance truck and a reach truck, take steel sheet, profiles and finished assemblies off the trailers, weigh them where the order needs it and place them on the racks by batch number. During the shift you feed the cutting and welding stations, take the finished frames to the paint line and keep the transport routes clear. You check the truck before every shift, log the battery charge or the gas bottle change and report any damage at once. The shift runs 07:30 to 16:00 and you report to the store keeper.
