Experience with industrial forklifts is a crucial tool on any construction job site. It is the forklift operator's job to keep sites moving, meaning each job site must be staged and prepped for each contractor on site, in different phases, on different lots, meaning different hardware, materials, lumber, and tasks that can only be done with said forklift. Either lifting walls, ceiling trusses, moving lumber to hard-to-get-to places, or using garbage bins to clean up each lot after every job, it's the forklift operator's responsibility to keep production moving, and, as the foreman's right hand, to keep progress moving without skipping one phase at a time.
