Forklift operators keep distribution centres running. Using a reach truck, EPT, counterbalance truck or cherry picker, you move pallets between unloading, storage and dispatch — often with an RF scanner or voice picking linked to SAP EWM or Manhattan WMS. In Weert you're close to manufacturing, food and logistics. FlexHero places skilled workers here every day — mainly from other EU countries — with housing in the region and transport to the workplace.
