I've seen this one before, but for my forklift certification, they showed us actual accidents. A fully extended forklift toppling over with someone in the cage, a diesel forklift running over someone and the driver not even noticing, people knocking over warehouse racking, etc

Will definitely watch when I get off work!

oh dear me

Man i used to work with a guy like Klaus and we would call him Klaus and he had no idea why.

Fork yeah!

I'm a backwards hat kinda fella. I think those of the beanie might still accept me! That or maybe its time to get a beanie and bad attitude of my own.

I worked lumber yards before I started construction. Used to drive the big diesel's, those were a blast. Coworker of mine worked with them in the navy. I think on aircraft Carrier if I remember right. Always thought that would be crazy working on a moving platform. Never used a stand up one. They look like fun in the big box stores like lowes.

Later in construction I used Gradall 534C's. They are a blast,.crabcrawl, hydraulic tilt leveling for uneven terrain and something like 40' boom length. Never had an accedent but I have been teetering on the front wheels once with a heavy load extended too far. Had one stuck in the mud working in the middle of nowhere once, not easy to get stuck and even harder to get unstuck.

We have x2 battery powered Cat EC25N's. Up until last week, I'd never even sat a buttcheek one in anything like it but I'm getting the hang of it quickly. I unloaded a full semi trailer just a bit ago to get some practice in even tho that's the shipping crew's job. They know I'm looking to get some practice in and they're doing a great job of letting me get my feet wet.

So for 17 years you did it legally, I'm calling OSHA

Unless you can prove you're Klaus

Nooooooo but I like boring guy things! Lol. I honestly had no idea this would get such a positive reception.

I really miss driving forklift.

My old supervisor used to make fun of me because I loved driving it, he said it was stupid and any idiot could do it. I came into work one morning and he had tried forking a pallet off a shelf, he ended up knocking the shelf behind him over. I used the forklift to right everything again. Owner of the company put me in charge of the forklift after that.
