Un cariste est une personne conduisant un engin motorisé servant au déplacement de marchandises au sein d'une exploitation. Cet engin peut être, par exemple, un chariot élévateur. Le cariste accomplit toutes sortes de missions : acheminement, stockage et déstockage. Dans certains cas, le travail du cariste peut s'accompagner d'un travail de constitution de palettes. Le cariste a un rôle important dans la chaîne de production : il gère la mise à disposition des marchandises et évite ainsi les ruptures dans les préparations. 4, record 1, French, - cariste
