Name That Forklift!

Given the warehouse is a diverse place, it’s not hugely surprising that we often find different types of forklift in operation. So what are the different types of forklifts and what is their purpose?

Counterbalance

The most common type of forklift, the forks are fitted at the front of the truck and are fairly straightforward to operate. They can be petrol, diesel or electrically operated. Some designs are 3 wheel, meaning that the truck has maximum manoeuvrability.

Reach Truck

Reach truck forklifts are designed to reach into racking and as such can lift significant weights to great heights whilst working in a small warehouse environment if necessary. They work best inside on even surfaces, due to their low under-carriage.

Pump Truck

Hand and power pallet trucks are used to move products fitted to pallets in the warehouse. They work best on smooth surfaces and are an easy way to move products quickly.

Sideloader

Sideloaders, as the name suggests, pick up loads from the side, and are particularly effective at handling long or wide products.

How to Secure a Promotion

Securing a promotion is a critical milestone in one’s career. It signifies growth, enhances personal development, and often leads to greater financial stability. So how can you make sure you’re first in line for that next promotion?

Where are you now? Begin by evaluating your current position, responsibilities, and performance. Understand where you stand and what your short-term and long-term career objectives are. Identify the skills and qualifications you need for the next role by conducting a skill gap analysis.

Build your case. Documenting your achievements is crucial. Keep a record of your accomplishments, projects, and contributions. Quantify your success by using metrics and KPIs to demonstrate your impact.

Develop your skills and knowledge. Continuous learning is vital. Enrol in relevant courses, workshops, and certifications to stay ahead. Seek mentorship from someone within or outside your organisation who can guide you. Stay updated with the latest industry trends and advancements.

Get Networking! Building strong relationships is key. Network internally with colleagues, supervisors, and other departments. Attend industry events, join professional associations, and connect with peers on LinkedIn.

Show your leadership. Taking on additional responsibilities and proposing new ideas shows initiative. Lead by example by exhibiting professionalism, reliability, and a positive attitude.

Speak up! Communicate your career aspirations with your supervisor. Schedule regular check-ins with your supervisor to discuss your progress and receive feedback.

Best of luck! For more information about our latest vacancies, or to find out how South57 can support your business, contact us on 0333 344 6845 or [email protected].

How to overcome work place problems

You’ve made a mistake! Mistakes can happen, we are all human after all! When you make a mistake, it’s vital you own up to it and try to rectify it. Ignoring it will only make matters worse. Explain what happened to your manager and make it right.
