I had a 5'0 Chinese guy working on the warehouse that was probably the best person on a fork lift I've ever seen. Dude would do things insanely fast and whip around like it was a prius while listening to country music.


Man was a legend and sang Alan jackson the entire day.


He didn't smoke weed at all but the one time we finally egged him into it he was unbelievably hilarious and basically lost his perfect american accent and went into broken English / half chinese. Whenever he's high he claims he loses his Americanization it's a lol


The man left to live in hawaii because weed opened his eyes to wanting to be a beach bum and traveling singer...

I hope he is doing well

One of the questions on my exam to get FORKLIFT CERTIFIED was something like "most forklift deaths occur because of"........ Correct answer was trying to jump out of a forklift as it's tipping over

Lol I remember there was a pretty serious accident on day shift once so they turned on the speed limiters on all the trucks.

Lasted about 2 weeks because production dropped like 40% lmao

Weighs as much as the killdozer before adding armor to it. You'll be fine on level road. Hills and anything else, well, that was a short trip

Lol @ a goon that doesn't think a forklift is powerful

Depends on the engine size and trans, really.
We have a 24,000 pound forklift at work for lugging around 14k pound coils with a v-6 and handles poo poo like a champ
We also have a 32,000 pound forklift with a v-8 and it stalls out on small bumps when loaded with material

I drove a hyster no one at work liked because it had a governor, and since I was the new guy in the union, I got it. I figured out the trick was you stomp the pedal and get up to speed (5mph) then let the pedal up about a quarter of the way and it would bypass the governor and take off. 18 mph on a forklift was fun as a youngster. Dunno if I'd be as daring now.

I got forklift certified once as a job requirement, had to show up to work at 4AM to do the course and got to go home at noon. I then never once drove a loving forklift for the remainder of my time on the job and then went to go work someone else eventually.

Good times.

Did a stint at that too except the loader was a dedicated forklift, with a rotator. Used to enjoy lounging in AC in July while everyone else was sweating balls working in the yard

This reminds me that solid wheels can eat poo poo, got a little standup reach truck at work for 2500 lb stuff and if there's so much as a splinter on the floor, loaded or not, you're driving nowhere

might as well be a pallet jack

I've never worked a forklift but I've been around them enough to know there's always one like that. Then it breaks down and everything gets backed up waiting for it to get fixed.
