Not unlikely, but that's why maritime pilots exist. The dinky little canal I live by employs ~300 of them just because navigating canals is really hard so ships above a certain tonnage _must_ hire one.

I learned from this thread that forklifts are basically designed to destroy things, through a combination of a very small blade tip made from very strong material backed by a huge amount of ballast. Anything it runs into it will go straight through.

I think that a lot of people who've never touched a forklift are under the impression that they're just like little cars; it's not until you actually interact with one that you really understand there is absolutely no give in them.

As my post in the OP says, forklifts are way heavier than your car. They're incredibly dense to act as their own counterweight.

I think the weight does fool a lot of people. You look at it and it looks like a big lawn tractor and you mentally evaluate it as being a couple of times heavier, especially as they scoot around so nippily.

When the reality is that it's basically a metal wrecking ball on solid rubber wheels.

Metal Coat? It's already active?!
Forklifts are ~9000 pounds for the low end sit down models, can travel fairly quickly (ours are governed at 12 km/h but a couple of the older ones can hit over 20), and the tip of a fork is around a quarter inch thick and four inches wide of hardened steel. Lots of mass, decent speed, narrow surface area of impact.

I've never seen anyone break anything other than freight with a lift, but there's some very suspicious scars in a few of the warehouse's support pillars.

there's a couple of guards for the support pillars in our warehouse that clearly took a glancing blow right at the edge and the edge is curled over

it doesn't look like much until you get up close and see that they're a solid eighth or quarter inch of metal just bent over and think about the force that would be required to accidentally do that

Yeah it's not just that they're heavy and powerful, but all that force is applied via forks with very small cross sections. That's a shitload of force (sorry to use sciency terms here) applied in a very small area.

Forklift giveth no fucks. Your example forklift has an impact force of over 4.5 meganewtons. Spread that over a 20 cm^2 area (the tip of that forklift blade), and you're looking at over 325,000 psi, nothing except some of the fancier super-alloys and exotic carbon nano-composites are gonna do anything except get a hole punched in them.
