French term

cariste HT

French to English Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping Job titles/qualifications (Belgian text)
PLEASE NOTE, French (Belgium) to EN (Ireland and UK). I think this usage is quite specific to Belgium -- nothing much on the internet to go on.

"[...] les profils plus qualifiés (caristes RT, HT, FT), [...]"

cariste = forklift operator

I can't supply any more context due to confidentiality, apart from the fact that my text relates to temporary work (travail intérimaire).

I am asking questions for RT, HT and FT separately. I don't know if the abbreviations refer to job titles or the qualifications required, or possibly even something else (maybe even part-time and full-time?).

I have emailed a Belgian forklift operator training company about this one.
Conor McAuley (asker) Sep 22, 2021:
This one remains a mystery.
Conor McAuley (asker) Sep 17, 2021:
The rest of the sentence really doesn't provide any extra context, so there's no point, Phil, sorry.
philgoddard Sep 17, 2021:
Could we at least have the rest of the sentence, please?

Heavy traction forklift operator

Pretty sure "HT" stands for "heavy traction".
Often appears abbreviated in forklift names e.g. "Toyota Taigo HT"; see also Manitou or Komatsu.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : This sounds like a guess. I can't see what it stands for in "Traigo (not Taigo) HT".

it's an educated guess, note that I (only) gave it a confidence level of 3 out of 5
