Furniture Loader/Unloader

Job Description for Furniture Loader

Furniture Loaders move furniture in and out of the store. When deliveries arrive, loaders remove merchandise from the truck and place them into the warehouse or organize them on the sales floor. After customers purchase items seen on the sales floor, loaders load out the products or retrieve matching inventory from the warehouse. Depending on how customers want to receive the furniture, loaders may load pieces into the customer's vehicle or put them onto the truck for home delivery. Some loaders may work strictly on home-delivery runs and spend little time in the warehouse. A physically demanding role, loaders need to lift over 75 pounds frequently. The position also requires use of tools like dollies and handtrucks. Loaders work normal store hours but may be required to work outside of retail hours to organize and arrange inventory.
