  • Forklift operator

    • Sep 2009 - Jul 2010

    At Viking I ran forklift for the order pickers. Wether it be dropping a pallet of product down for them, or loading the tractor trailers. I also ran the "claw" attachment. The claw was attached to one forklift running on a straight guide rail. The arm was able to grab 1-3 solid layers of either 12 or 24 pack cans and stack them onto pallets for large bulk orders.
