At the bustling alumina unloading site, among the layers of stacked containers, there stands a particularly eye-catching sight - it is a forklift operation team composed of women. They wore bright red safety helmets and bright work clothes, firmly holding the steering wheel with both hands. Their eyes were determined and their movements were skillful. Their expressions and skills were no less than those of male drivers. They moved flexibly between containers and piles of alumina raw materials. With precise operation and stable efficiency, they proved with their strength the correctness of the saying "Who says women are inferior to men? Women can hold up half the sky."
Every day, this team of women has to deal with thousands of tons of alumina raw materials and complete the entire process of operations, from checking the box numbers, adjusting the Angle of the fork teeth, to precise positioning, box unloading and transfer, and safe stacking. This not only requires maintaining a high level of concentration for a long time, but also relies on the proficient skills accumulated through long-term practice - from operation standards to task volume, they have always been in line with male drivers and have never lowered their requirements due to gender differences.
Facing the daily loading and unloading tasks, they always regard them as a new challenge and can handle them calmly with professional qualities: to ensure the progress of container unloading, they rationally plan the work rhythm and complete the tasks efficiently within the prescribed time. Some people, due to long-term operation of equipment, developed thick calluses on their wrists. They simply wrapped protective bandages around them and continued working. Some people voluntarily sought advice from maintenance technicians, spent their rest time delving into mechanical principles, and gradually developed the unique skill of "identifying faults by sound", becoming the "little equipment managers" in the team.
Day after day of perseverance and dedication have brought about remarkable achievements. On the monthly and quarterly production rankings of Shihezi Jushen, this women's forklift team has frequently ranked among the top and has even won the production championship many times. With solid data, they have proved that in the intense operation of alumina box unloading, women not only can handle it perfectly but also demonstrate the same excellent operational skills and stable output capabilities as men, breaking the professional limitations imposed by gender with their expertise.
These "tough roses" shuttling between steel machinery and industrial scenes are demonstrating to people the boundless possibilities of women in traditional heavy industry with their indomitable willpower, meticulous attitude and fully concentrated professional spirit. They nourish their passion with sweat and control machinery with wisdom. Among the surging and roaring steel giants, they burst forth with brilliant "she" power, becoming the most touching and inspiring scene on the front line of modern manufacturing.
