Forklift Use
Please follow this guidance when using a forklift.
Common carrier shipments
When a common carrier shipment arrives at Receiving & Stores, the owning department (consignee) is notified and either the freight will be unloaded at the Receiving & Stores warehouse, or the truck will be instructed to unload the items at the owning department’s location (building).
Request forklift assistance
If the department does not have the means to unload the merchandise at their location, they can request Receiving & Stores to assist them with unloading their merchandise using a forklift for a fee of $75.00.
Unloading at remote locations
If merchandise is requested to be unloaded at a remote location (other than the department’s physical location), a fee of $60.00 per hour with a one hour minimum will apply.
