They Danced with Pallets for the 10th Time

Emocje, precyzja i mistrzostwo za sterami wózków widłowych. Jubileuszowa, 10. edycja „Tańczącego z paletami” po raz pierwszy zawitała do nowego oddziału RLP w Poznaniu, gromadząc 17 najlepszych operatorów z całej Polski.

On Saturday, 9 May 2026, the final of the jubilee 10th edition of the “Dancing with Pallets” competition, a forklift operator championship, took place at the Raben Logistics Polska site on Obodrzycka Street in Poznań. The best competitors, selected during local qualifying rounds, competed in two disciplines: High‑Level Pallet Stacking and the Transit Obstacle Course.

“Dancing with Pallets” is a long‑standing Raben initiative that combines elements of sports competition with everyday warehouse practice, promoting key operational values such as safety, responsibility and precision. Participants are assessed both on their theoretical knowledge of best practices and health and safety principles, as well as on practical skills requiring accuracy, smooth vehicle handling and full control of equipment. The competition also highlights the crucial role forklift operators play in ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the supply chain.

Including both local stages and the final, around 120 participants took part in the jubilee edition, confirming that “Dancing with Pallets” has become an integral part of the Raben Group’s culture of safety and competence development.
 

„The 10th edition of ‘Dancing with Pallets’ is a good opportunity to clearly emphasise that warehouse safety starts with skills and good habits. The competition allows us to recognise operators and strengthen a culture in which precision and responsibility are treated as everyday standards”– says Lucyna Zaborowska-Princ, Regional Director at Raben Logistics Polska.

The competition started at 10:30 a.m. Final results were determined by task accuracy, completion time and strict compliance with safety rules. Winners received trophies and cash prizes, while all participants were awarded commemorative gifts.
 

„This format clearly shows that theory gains value when it is applied in practice. Our involvement in ‘Dancing with Pallets’ directly supports operator development and promotes safe working standards in intralogistics, – adds Robert Matusz, Senior Key Account Manager STILL.
