2018 Ultimate Forklift Challenge at McCoy's Building Supply 

This should become a sport that would inspire many forklift drivers from all over the world to compete

I operate forklifts as my job too. Can't we just be proud of the precision we achieve on these heavy machines every day?

Brings back memories of working in very narrow aisled warehouses. Once you got the feel of the layout it's easy.

I was an operator for about 6 years and can whole heartedly say it is what created my work ethic and passion in logistics (now a freight broker) however I would absolutely love to compete in something like this in Kansas or Missouri. (Ended up getting out of labor as I have had bilateral knee surgery and it was too dangerous/painful) Standup or Sitdown I have used essentially all attachments and types of lifts, even working with radio shuttles in 25 deep bays in blast freezers (quite the experience). Last truck I unloaded and timed myself only took me 7 minutes (Double pallet Jack however all pallets were over 102-106" tallx22) so it was kind of cheating, if we are talking about a sit down with quad forks (Single-Double handler) I can and have easily unloaded 22 pallet truckloads in under 10 minutes.

seems like a lot of these courses would depend on the maintenance of your lift truck's hydraulics and lift chains/pulleys. ive been on lifts with janky ass stuttery forks, and ones where they are butter smooth.

It's easy going slow. Wait till u gotta do it quickly to meet deadlines

I just started learning how to drive a forklift. I am nervous as hell when currently learning how to maneuver around tight isles with multiple pallets. Watching this video inspires me to hone my skills day in and day out, to where hopefully one day I can get as good as these guys. Luckily for me, I work with a great bunch of guys, who are patiently teaching me the trade, and working with me to get me to that comfort level.

I started driving forklifts in 2016, We only had 1 forklift and 3 drivers , it was cool intill I left the job jn 2018 and once again started a new job in logistics in 2021 where it was clamps , and I saw how quick some where it’s now almost 2022 and I’m not even close to some of the people at my work , but I’m getting better day by day , and I love my progress, you look back and say damn , that was really me , I’m quicker than I ever was , but still have years to go to even get close to my peers

Having been operating for 20 years, this is achievable, given adequate time to acclimate to the behaviour of the machine, every machine is different, which is why we like to stick to the same machine everyday, yes we can operate every machine, but maybe not as efficiently as our machine

Tomorrow I finish shipboard forklift training with US military sealift command, really tight spaces just like this video. Its rewarding to get that group of loaded pallets just right.

You want a real challenge? Try doing this at 3am with 4 hours of sleep and a day drinking hangover, while all the judges are shouting “hurry the fuck up!” or “need me to come up there and show you how to do it,damn!”

Driving forklifts is so much fun. I just got certified last week. Makes my job sooooo much easier. I drive the Crown RM6000s. 🤓🤓🤓

I’ve been an operator since I was 8 years old, over here i have to worry about extremely tight spaces with cars and produce, if you think cones are a challenge then I’m about to get crowned the greatest of all time 😂

Im just scrolling through the comments looking for know-it-alls to point out that this is a piece of cake. Lol... It's harder than it looks. Note: These obstacles were invented by professional know-it-alls.

Uno de los mejores circuitos que pude encontrar ....exelentes maniobras y habilidades con el montacargas

I use this exact Toyota tow motor on a patchy frozen concrete parking lot to unload 3,500 sheets of wire mesh. That’s a challenge 😂

Been drivin for a long time would like to try this.

As forklift operator this clips were really satisfying :)

I used to do all sorts of crazy stuff on a forklift on wet floors. Wet floors = no brakes, lots of burnouts and drifting, or go slow and work at 70% efficiency all day.

2018! If I was getting loadin' by these drivers, I'd still be waiting to get loaded in 2021. OMG - Pick up the pace!

June 16, 2022. Just found this video "by accident." I didn't go looking for it ! This is an AMAZING -- absolutely AMAZNG-- video. I will be sharing it on out FB! Love it! Ruthie B. Howard. Also, I am putting this video on the END SCREEN for a video that I just uploaded (dated today, June 16, 2022) called FORKLIFT HAS NEW BATTERIES, BUT NO BRAKES! Ruthie B. Howard PS: I love the MUSIC CHOICE! Great and VERY INTENSE SELCTION!

Hi, I am thinking of doing a rodeo. Do you have a course plans I can use.

This looks awesome!! So now while I'm driving my forklift filling soil and mulch at Lowe's I'm gonna imagine me doing this and winning!!! 😂😂💀

That’s great, we’re getting ready to join the sport as well.

I want to join😁 I have always facing this challenge every day in my work.. Big, long, heavy, small driving spaces loading and offloading the whole day..

This is amazing

This was cool glad it show up

Looks really fun!

That ball on the pallet looks achievable for me, if I practiced a bit, having done half a year of forklift driving by now, but man the other ones look tough as heck! Slaloming okay, but when there's a bowl of water on it, wow that's gotta be hard to keep it real steady. And then the plank with the cones with the balls on it, up and down, that looks insanely tough!

excellent practice!!!

Wao qué chulada de prueba me gustaría estar ahí pasando esa prueba yo soy operador de montacarga en mi país R.D. lo asen muy bn mi respecto para todos 💪💪

Parabéns!!

I really don’t like the sit down forklifts but on a reach or a pacer I be smashing 💪💯

Im learning to operate a fork lift...this is cool as hell.....fork lift ballet

Hats off to all the awesome lift truckers out there.

I would love to compete in this

Tengo 12 años de experiencia y estoy orgulloso de ello.

I believe so far on the industry of my work. The ultimate challenge is working at the busiest airports as forklift operator.

Awsome stuff over there

I can pick a dime up with a fork lift. I worked at a factory that we had to feed machines and unload conveyors go outside and get product and also take finished parts that was boxed to a wrapping maching and get off and wrap the double stacked boxes of tv and then take it to the back warehouse and find a row to put it and go do it all over again in a certain time. Load a line then unload the other line while doing all the other stuff in between. Always against the clock all day long. I was so good. We had to fly around the factory with unbalanced loads and also we loaded trucks in between parts. Very few could keep up without the line going down because we never got all that done in a few min to make it back to the conveyer to load it again with unpainted tv parts. Do all that again and make it back before the line ran out of parts. One mishap and you was behind for a few hours.

this looks like fun honestly kinda wish we had some sort of sound instead of music but yknow

Should have a moffit competition I would love to do that

This is what we do to goof off during down time. Today I picked up a lime on the end of a tyne and rolled it along before binning it with the tyne

Ain't nothing, I'll pour you a glass of wine, with the right rig, to easy

I miss playing forklift basketball,it was fun.....

Forklift operator here.. first four minutes... I could push a boat trailer through that. Last minute, That's skill man. I still get the "yea baby, YEA!" when I come in from 50' at the perfect height to slide into the pallet of that SAIA driver who ALWAYS parks in the drainage and never pulls all the way in the gate on to flat ground...

Easy, very easy, beat wishes from Poland from forklift driver👍

They are much focus about the item i think but not in someone in the blindspots area i hope the trainer will assume that thing during exams like this to know the proper use of horn,signal light and the most important thing when you stop before you go

Looks fun

I've been driving forklift for almost 25 years, I love that I can open a Pepsi can with the forks pick a quarter up and drop it in a cup but most of all getting something of a truck that looks impossible to move. Kalamars are fun but I love the high capacity lifts. Moving each fork individually is kind of cool to me. I love my job.

Being on a smooth surface makes a huge difference.

Getting a whole fleet of these and we all have to get used to no inching pedal, just wish we could ajust the harshness of the braking instead of it being fixed.

Mantab 2018 ultimate forclip

looks fun :)

You could use this forklift challenge to test a forklift driver's skills, also to provide proof of how good they are at driving the forklift.

Good job bro

Everyone says how easy it is, yet there are still too many operators out there who have trouble simply loading an empty pallet onto a flat bed truck lol.

I GOT NEXT!! 💪😤

Good-day good people I'm in RSA do u know any schools for Forklift courses

Lmao . Next is a microwave soup competition

Nice flat ground i drive on cobble stones never know which dip or rise will change the variable

Very great operating well done 👌👍👍👍❤️

Mis Respetos Para Estos Brothers, Son Completos Para El Manejo De Monta Cargas... 👊👍

can give me the current location please

I also want to join this game. How can I?

That's cool I wish they did that at my job

I've thought before this would be a good competition, lol.

When I managed a freight terminal several years ago I used one of the local temp agencies to send me lift drivers occasionally and the guy I dealt with would call and say he had a guy for me that was certified on this and that and I always told him I didn't care one bit about certificates because all that says is someone went through a class somewhere and got a piece of paper. I told him I would know just how certified they are when I see what the person does with their feet when they sit on the lift because if the person only uses one foot to drive the lift we are probably going to have a problem.. Always use two feet and to hell with putting on that stupid seatbelt..

Sar ya institute kaha pa. Hai ham ko sekhna hai

Awesome

i have the confidence that i can achive this with ease when im focused :)

Crown RR 5700. The Lifters fun.

GOSTEI DO TESTE.

Nice train i remember when i was train so many knows that i was learned

That's forkin' cool.

I already know a little how to drive but I am looking for how to do a professional training and obtain the certificate, can you help me please? what does it take to come?

I DRIVE A TOYOTA AT WORK! R+L CARRIERS!! CARSON, CA. WE GET SHIT DONE!

open live load that is hard , but plenty of space to manoeuvre

very challenging, so I want to try y

so Nice

But are they Certified??

But that 2 speed diesel lift is a beast!

this is my job to work 8h or 12h in one day i love it because so easy When you have experience

The bucket with water looks fun, however it is forbidden to transport open containers filled with liquids. I happen to move around chemicals and checking for tightly sealed caps is no joke.

so difficult!

I was the better operator at my old workplace. Wish i did something like this with my ex coworkers 😁.

Nice👍👍👍

Now that's skills test.

and what in the production line in a cannery there is not rules

thats cool

Shouldn’t they be working?

wow❤

I know for a fact I can do the same thing and half the time they did on what ever lift they have ill even put a check on it

These guys are not forklift drivers, they are Gods among their coworkers xD

BANG
