fork-lift truck operator / warehouseman
Explanation:
Firstly, you need to be careful with the word almacén; in Spain it means warehouse, but in some parts of Central and South America it means shop.

In BrE a man who works in a warehouse is called a warehouseman. Pure and simple.

Carretilla elevadora (or toro) is a fork-lift truck; hence, fork-lift truck operator.
