Inducted, insured, ticket-verified forklift drivers on call for Welshpool sites. Same-day dispatch across City of Canning, 24/7.
24/7 dispatch line — 1300 HBG 24/7
Hire licensed forklift drivers through Harrison Barratt Group. Counterbalance and reach operators for warehouses, construction, and logistics.
A large south-eastern Perth industrial suburb concentrated around the Welshpool industrial estate and Kewdale rail-freight terminal. HBG maintains a deep pool of forklift drivers available for Welshpool and the wider City of Canning area — most fills happen within 24 hours, and many the same day when booked before 2pm.
Demand
Welshpool is one of HBG’s most active south-eastern-Perth dispatch suburbs, and we cover the classic warehouse-and-freight mix here: LF-ticketed forklift drivers and warehouse pickers across Welshpool and adjacent Kewdale; concreters and civil labourers on heavy-industrial shed pours; traffic controllers on Leach Highway and Tonkin Highway works. Because the south-eastern catchment runs deep and the Tonkin Highway stitches together the whole freight-logistics precinct, we routinely move crews between Welshpool, Kewdale and Cannington on consecutive shifts.
Typical shift types HBG covers around Welshpool include warehouse fitouts and racking installs across the Welshpool and Kewdale industrial estates; concrete pours for heavy-industrial sheds; freight-terminal handling and forklift operations; traffic control on Leach Highway and Tonkin Highway works. The mix a forklift driver actually sees depends on which corner of City of Canningthe site sits in and the client’s contractor scope for the day.
Compliance
Welshpool is a large south-eastern-Perth industrial suburb, sitting alongside the Kewdale rail-freight terminal — one of the largest freight-logistics precincts in Perth. The Welshpool industrial estate is dominated by heavy-industrial warehousing, freight-handling, and distribution operations, with the Tonkin Highway and Leach Highway providing arterial access. Trade demand in Welshpool is overwhelmingly industrial: warehouse fitout, freight-handling forklift shifts, and shed concrete pours.
On the PPE side, every HBG forklift driver arrives on site with steel-cap boots, hi-vis long-sleeve, hard hat and safety glasses as standard. Any site-specific PPE the client scopes — fall-arrest harness for heights work, cut-resistant gloves for metal-fixing, hearing protection for concrete-cutting shifts — is confirmed at booking and either supplied by HBG or coordinated with the site manager ahead of the first shift.
Canonical tickets shown in teal. Formal qualifications and licences (Cert III, A-Grade electrical, plumbing licence, etc.) are verified against the relevant state regulator database.
Rates + billing
Welshpool work is overwhelmingly weekday-daytime industrial with occasional evening racking shifts and 24/7 freight-terminal patterns, so rates track the Fair Work casual-award floor for the relevant classification with the standard casual loading applied on top. Forklift work here requires a valid LF licence (or LO for order-picker) plus site-specific inductions — many of the larger sheds and the Kewdale rail-freight terminal run their own induction card. Supply of ticketed warehouse and forklift crews is typically solid because Welshpool is a genuine industrial hub.
Charge rates are quoted in writing before any Welshpool shift starts — no verbal estimates, no surprise line-items on the invoice. Every rate breakdown shows the award floor, the on-cost stack (super, WorkCover, payroll tax, insurance), the dispatch margin, and any applicable shift-loading. Weekend, night-shift and public-holiday rates follow the relevant award and are itemised separately.
