Summary

I have been using forklifts, pallet jacks and various other mater handling equipment for most of my working career.. Safety is my main goal along with not damaging any equipment or product.

I have trained over ten people in my position in the last 15 months. I follow company procedures and am not afraid to ask questions to ensure proper procedure.
