Classification
Summary
Worker who transports and unloads heavy stone materials using manual labor or cargo handling machinery at quarries, factories, and construction sites.
Description
Stone material carriers are specialists who use cargo handling equipment such as cranes, forklifts, and chain blocks, or manual labor, to load, transport, and unload stone materials at quarries, processing plants, construction sites, and elsewhere. They set transportation routes based on work plans and collaborate with team members to carry out tasks accurately and efficiently. Since there are high risks of falls, drops, and crushing accidents, they thoroughly manage safety with regular inspections and maintenance. Skills and physical strength are required to understand the shape and weight of stone materials and select appropriate transportation methods.

While stable job openings are expected due to increasing construction demand, labor shortages and aging are progressing. Automation and mechanization technologies may advance further in the future.
