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.

We have one in the shop now the steering linkage is shot so it's hard to control faster than a walking pace, goes through a radiator about once a year because a bunch of the thing is plastic, and looks like it was in the middle of an Iraq firefight. It's only 4 years old. We got it brand new fresh off the factory floor, only had 11 hours on it

Been operating a telehandler off and on for the past couple months. How much training would THAT require, you might ask. Well, unsurprisingly, none. gently caress your little pansy-rear end forklifts.

Depends if it's loaded with valuable goods, in which case it goes into the hold, or if it's just an empty one, you toss it on the pallet stack out back to be reused for firewood or making janky woodworking projects.

Did you do it successfully? Because if you did, then you've probably got what it takes to become FORKLIFT CERTIFIED.

and three different locations for the directional controls

nothing like getting into your car after a full day of forklifting, putting it in reverse to leave, and realizing that actually you've signalled a turn instead and the car is still in park

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

I'm ITSSAR Rough Terrain Masted forklifted licensed and i don't need no online course :c00l:

I'm also pretty handy in a telehandler but don't have that piece of paper

Back when I was regularly forking, it was just constant sex. Suckin, fuckin, anything you can imagine. Truck wheels couldnt find purchase due to various fluids (cum, squirt, etc).

There should be a shirt out there that says "I CAME HERE TO FORKLIFT AND gently caress, AND I'M ALL OUT OF VIAGRA!!"

Graphics should be like a picture of a forklift with a skeleton driving operating it. Skulls on the top with flashing eyes to act as the beacon lights, and the forks should actually be dicks that shoot flames.

One of our plating contractors got fed up with sending their semi here to pick up a couple tubs once in a while, so they sent an S-10 pickup truck. Loaded two tubs in the back of that thing, one stacked on the other. 'Bout 1200 pound sin all, maybe a bit more. That poor truck, she sat all the way down on the rear axle.

I wish more employers would spend the extra cash for rental forklifts that have self-spreading forks so I never have to get off the lift when I'm unloading their dumb concert gear and staging.

Mine has those. The scale hilo used to have them but they were deemed "too expensive".
Used to have one with split forks, that was some awesomeness. Hit the lever and they spread apart into two sets of forks so you could pick up two pallets instead of one

Funny story about the Vlasic tank yard. There was a snow plow that slid onto the forks out there and every two years it had to be replaced because people couldn't stop bashing into poo poo. After two years the straight plow would get bent into a V plow
