Forklift operator jobs in North Lincolnshire

Forklift work is counted inside warehousing and storage, which comes to 1,250 employee jobs in North Lincolnshire, from 74,000 employee jobs across the area.

That count covers whole sites rather than truck types, so counterbalance on the bays, reach in the racking and VNA in the narrow aisles are all inside it, together with the picking most operators also do. Freight, warehousing and courier work together make up 4.54% of employment in North Lincolnshire.

Median full-time pay in North Lincolnshire was £34,129 a year in 2025 across all occupations combined. Forklift work is not published separately at this level, so treat that as area context and read the rate on the advert.

UK Business Counts recorded 30 warehousing and storage sites in North Lincolnshire at the March 2025 reference date, 5 of them employing ten people or more. Business counts are rounded one cell at a time, so the bands sit loosely against the total. 20 of them, 66.7%, employ under ten, well below the usual share. Large sites use the full range of truck types, so a ticket beyond counterbalance is worth more here.
