Every operator in Makcon's pool has been through a structured screening process (licence verification, practical assessment, safety record review, and reference checks) before being made available to clients.
Operators are matched to the specific forklift make, model, and tonnage on your project. A 3-tonne Toyota counterbalance requires different operational experience than a JCB 540 telehandler, Makcon accounts for this in every deployment.
Hire forklift operators on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Scale up during warehouse peaks and project surges, scale down when demand reduces, no long-term commitments required.
If an operator needs to be rotated or replaced for any reason (performance, medical, or personal) Makcon provides a qualified replacement within 48 hours at no additional mobilisation cost.
