The worst feeling as a forklift operator is when you know the stack is going to fall and there's nothing you can do about it. The only way to have saved it was if they had another forklift to brace the side of each pallet as the other down stacked them individually.
Yep, he should have immediately set it back down and told them to get another forklift to do that instead of them just watching and recording. But also like everyone else was saying even then that warehouse looks like trash
All you would have needed to do was get another fork truck to brace the ones underneath the one he was trying to pull. Every other one after that would have been fine to take down without bracing. I've been doing this for more years then I can count. Now that is only to say if the pallets were stable, so in this situation you are correct, it would have been best to brace all pallets. In some cases you don't have to
Well, the bottom one was already down. I would have simply lowered the skid back down and stabilized the stack. Then go from there. Weight CAN help sometimes.
Wow! The bystander actually told the other bystander to put himself in harm's way by breaching the zone of safety to do something as unnecessary as leaning on a skid so he can get crushed by an object worth less than him... AND HE WAS WILLING TO COMPLY?!
those boxes are stacked in a really unprofessional way on the pallets, and the pallets are stacked on eachother awfully as well. its not the forklift operators fault at all. the boss must teach their workers how to stack boxes properly and buy some racks to store pallets. i know im a little too late but youtube just recommended this for me just now lol
Bosses are so worried about losing production that they want everything and anything stacked as fast as possible without Interfering with any one else's work routine
Yea i agree those boxes were all stacked up unprofessionally but the guy was also a rookie . he turned while backing up . It’s always back up , lower it then you can turn to which ever side .
@@Signmybullet Yea and seem not lifted up high as turn it was pushing pallet under with the turn but should just backed up then lowered also can see the bottom pallet boxes were also giving out due to weight
Lol I said "go hold it dawg" guys name was jermall. We all had a bad day. The mrg mixed our crew with the Hispanics with the blacks and we all worked against each other. It was a toxic work environment.
Sometimes, there are situations where a team lift can be performed with multiple lifts. Someone could have forked the stack from the side or at least held the stack up with the forks as the other operator destacked the loads.
That dude is NOT a forklift Operator.....he knows how the handles work and how to drive it around ...BUT....he is Not an operator.....Real Operator would not have even tried that....hell he was already off with the 2nd pallet
Employees that don’t care about the product. First thing I thought of was to get something to brace the lower pallets before he backed up. Then make restacking first priority. This goes to show the lazy people that are only there for a paycheck
Have a look at the unorganised way things are stacked there! That’s probably the boss on the forklift after the employees refused to continue to work with such conditions is my guess. They’re making an example out of him!
I'm not trained in any way to operate one of these but even from that perspective it seems that for one the boxes are stacked way too high and are very unstable to begin with--not to mention him not knowing how to drive it
this is where you stop and try you damndest to keep it standing until you figure out a way to stop it from falling. I'll give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume thats what he was trying to do, undone by a bad viewpoint
We had to unload 4-5 containers a day.so it was very fast paced. not only that but u had to work with ur own race Hispanic, black or white if u weren't part of that specific race they would treat u like shit all day.
I am Forklift operator I have 13 year experience for loading unloading with Saudi Arabian company certificate please guide me how I can get job thanks khush raho🌷
The fact that this was recorded is shameful. Instead of the camera man stepping up to prevent what he obviously knew was going to happen, he decides to pull his phone out to record. The camera man should be fired.
