Loader's Day

Loaders are representatives of a profession that involves heavy physical labor. However, it would be a mistake to think that their only skill is moving objects of various masses and dimensions. So, a rigger is involved in transporting goods, slinging and storing, and can disassemble and assemble equipment. Workers typically work in teams to provide packing, removal, and securing services. Professionals are responsible for the integrity and safety of fragile objects, paintings, sculptures, antiques and other valuables. December 9th is Loader's Day - a holiday of strong and resilient men. Many stars at the beginning of their film and television careers did not disdain menial work. In their youth, actors Dmitry Nagiyev, Sergey Selin, Ivan Urgant, Viktor Sukhorukov and Yuri Kolokolnikov, musicians Konstantin Kinchev and Sergey Shnurov worked as loaders. In their youth, Mick Jager and Freddie Mercury, Chuck Norris and Brad Pitt, who delivered and unloaded furniture in Missouri, where his family lived at that time, carried heavy loads. The profession has never been particularly prestigious, but the roles of loaders played by brilliant actors will forever remain in the history of cinema. Thus, Soviet viewers liked the alcoholic Fedulov from the 1975 film “Afonya,” into whom B.N. masterfully portrayed. Brondukov. Europeans and Americans admired Marlon Brando’s stevedore from E. Kazan’s drama “On the Waterfront,” released in 1954. Any job requires qualifications and knowledge. And the profession of a loader is no exception. In addition to rigging belts, transport handles for carrying drywall and carts, craftsmen use winches, traverses, hydraulic lifts and electric hoists. Objects weighing several tons are moved using a hydraulic jack. The speed of the loader’s work and the final result depend on the possession of special equipment: transportation of an item of any weight and size - from an ATM and a piano to a lathe. Docker mechanics work with equipment that helps moor ships and transport containers and pallets to warehouses. Hard workers from Odessa are mentioned by V. Vysotsky in Bengalsky’s couplets in the film “Dangerous Tours”: “Loaders in the port, who have no equal, relax with Krylov’s fables...” Songs are dedicated to the professional, jokes are made about their work and jokes are heard in KVN and other programs. In fact, there is very little romance in the profession of a loader. Transportation of objects of various purposes, dimensions and weight is hard and exhausting work. Therefore, December 9th is Loader's Day - a holiday for real men.
