Summary
A manufacturing job that assembles parts such as frames, axles, and wheels of handcarts, and completes the product using techniques like bolt tightening and welding.
Description
Handcart assemblers combine parts such as frames, axles, wheels, and handles of handcarts (pushcarts) appropriately based on drawings and specifications. They use hand tools, torque wrenches, welding machines, etc., to perform bolt and nut tightening and welding work. They also handle post-assembly operation checks, fine adjustments, part inspections and conformity checks, and compliance checks with safety standards to maintain product quality and durability. The main work is on production lines, collaborating in teams to efficiently progress through processes. They also engage in 5S and safety hygiene management, requiring understanding of work instruction sheets and blueprint reading skills.
Future Outlook
While assembly work is becoming more labor-saving due to the overall automation and robotization of manufacturing, skilled assembly technicians are still expected to be needed for custom specifications and small-lot production.
