I've been driving a forklift on and off over 30 years. This guy is very good at what he does. Obviously OSHA would not approve, however I'm sure his boss is very happy wih how efficient he was.

I have 33 years of experience in LTL transport. This guy is not doing anything dangerous. He is doing what he can with what he has. Their is always time frames to respect in any logistic job. He looks very efficient and competent.

i work in a warehouse. i taught myself to always look where im going. even if im only moving a foot or 3 inches. people will walk right up behind you trying to die 🤐

Well as a forklift operator instructor with 12 years experience all I can say is that it's good to know the rules and principles before you break them so at least you can pretend. In other words when you are about to handle $250k worth of machinery and drop it because you didn't secured the truck before depositing load at high level for example guess who's fault is that? I wish you all the best anyway.

Respect, from 15 yr lift operator.. Maybe not the "safest", but definitely great skill.

When you drive a lift for so long, you learn things like these along the way, mostly from other old veteran drivers. We had a guy in our whse, Raul, who would do letdowns and he would never actually drive into the bay to put the product in. All his maneuvers were done by simply sliding or nudging the pallet with the tip of the forks. That guy made production standards like crazy, always had tons of time to burn.

At 00:23 the driver disregarded basic safety.. Had a school bus or a group of elderly ramblers walked into his path via a time portal he would have been totally unaware of them, causing untold carnage and explosions blowing up the harbour and destroying Alaska's fishing industry.. Basics man, basics.

It's been a long time since I drove a forklift, but I was pretty good when I did. I mostly preferred driving backwards when I had a load. You can actually see better going backwards. With a load on the forks, you have a huge blind spot wherever your head is.

Boss: you got 10 minutes to get all this done! This guy: give me 5.

Good driver! What he is doing is pretty easy with plastic,, aluminum and wood container bins.. Its a different story when you are moving huge loads of product that have a ton more weight loading semi trailers,, 4&5 teer racks in warehouses and moving huge industrial equipment to and from with people around/cant drive as fast.. Im pretty sure this driver can do much more with his good driving skills in heavy equipment as well.. What he is doing in this video is years of experience and doing the same routine day in and day out.. I have about 15yrs in standup and sit down lift driving and i have to say im pretty damn good myself lol.. I can spot a skilled driver within 1 minute behind the lift..

Oh, wow, a 3ton Komatsu, how did you handle such a raging monster of a machine on terrifying flat ground? My heart was in my mouth for a full 3 and a half minutes. I am now going to write a sternly worded letter to the entire world warning them not to watch such a pulsating and reckless display of load shifting.

This is ok if you drive there alone or with 1 other person and have a pattern together but if there are alot of drivers and people this is dangerous af

he is clearly by himself on the dock as far as we see

That’s actually very easy to do, considering there was little to no weight. It’s when you’re moving things that are big and heavy that your skills get put to the test.

I've only been the main forklift guy for my company for about 5 years and this guy taught me some new tricks

aside from not looking behind him much, I think he's just fine. I handle freight with similar speed and precision and I end up being called on by the bosses for priority projects.

From one forky to another, salute you.

I have been at the incident time when I walked checking goods. One guy was showing his skills to the new starters. He spin around like crazy with FLT and in one moment the tub of shrink wrap flew out of the truck from the back of the seat. Another spin in circle made him ride right on the wrap tube and made him jump as well tipping over. Unfortunately he had no chance to grab the steering firmly and lean to opposite side from tipping direction so the forklift tipped over on his neck with the guard frame causing death. His 8 years experience has tragic final. No one knows when will be your final but you can extend your live every day simply following safety rules. Of course would be a good idea to have an specially controlled designated area for extreme FLT operating skills show with safety equipment installed. I worked with big variety of FLT trucks over 12 Years and I do have lot of skills, tricks and technics. But I NEVER overprice myself and I respect my profession.

i drive one every day, he might be showing off here but he clearly knows how to drive that thing

That's not reckless, a good driver can make thing's easier for a lot of people. Any one can drive a forklift and lift shit up and down, there is a difference between driving it and making the sucker do the work, especially if you can make it do what you want.

Dude is a boss! He makes those forks an extension of himself.

Not his first day for sure. Nice work.

This man is good!!safe,fast,know wat he is doing!!!!respect!!!

hey, EX forklift operator here. of 47 years. good job buddy

Still unsafe, an environment is never "controlled." Anything unexpected can happen. Drives too fast when it's wet, a forklift cannot stop as quickly as a car, also drives forward with his view blocked and not looking back. A safe, competent, forklift driver should never, ever drive like this.

How was he not sliding due to wetness, I remember there was a flood in our warehouse and just the smallest amount of water cause the forklift to lose control and slide

Those are fuccn good ass forklift operator skills

As someone who spent considerable time at the same job on the docks, i would say that the operator is highly skilled at his job. I was known by the higher ups as fast and safe. Except for not knowing the actual speed that he was going, i consider him skilled. Many people that have never driven a forklift, shouldnt be critical. Try the same things in a blizzard.

I would hire him

wouldn't wanna be around this guy working, you gotta have eyes everywhere.
