Forklift demand in Sydney clusters around the western DC corridor and the port: Eastern Creek, Erskine Park, Moorebank, Botany. That is exactly where our LF/LO-ticketed pool is concentrated.
Good questions, straight answers.
How do you verify forklift licences?
Workers upload their high-risk work licence during onboarding and we verify it before forklift shifts are open to them. The licence class (LF or LO) is visible on the profile you approve.
What does a forklift driver cost per hour in Sydney?
Under the Storage Services & Wholesale Award, a Level 1 casual starts at $33.85/hr (1 July 2026 rates) before penalties; higher classifications and shift loadings apply per the award. Your all-in estimate, including super, workers comp, and the flat 15% fee, is shown before you book.
Can I get the same driver back every week?
Yes. Add workers you rate highly to your Pool and they get first access to your future shifts, free. Many clients run a regular roster of favourites this way.
Who carries the insurance and employment risk?
MyGig does, as the Employer of Record: employment contracts, payroll, PAYG, super, and workers comp sit with us under NSW labour hire licensing.
