Then load meat into the bays(all bays are three tiers high, but depending on the dryroom the number of sticks per bay may vary). When the bay is ready you climb in your picker,(it's a forklift with a basket on the front). This is used to reach the other two tiers. 3.Depending on what is happening during the day it will be necessary to also drop the meat, and load it onto trees to take and put into the chillbox for slicing to use. 4. Before, or when completed the tags must be scanned, and the written paperwork completed.
