When you're this good with a forklift 

He made that look so hard...

When you have to get off the lift to move them by hand: FAIL.

If this impressed you enough to feel compelled to record and post this online, you have not been around many skilled forklift operators.

Forklift driver at a large engineering firm here and that manoeuvre was literally taught to us on day no 2, he made it seem particularly difficult tho

Super easy method: lay it sideways, put the forks up against the stickers and push it in. Saves a lot of time.

I used to work across the street from a guy who was the best ever on a forklift. Made it look SOOO easy

Most people would call the dispatch office and tell them I’m leaving the load outside like it or not..... this man obviously loves his job and his integrity in making the customer happy is his priority. All the laws and regulations of the this world go to shamble when a man like this is in charge. Good stuff sir

Coming from a less than a yr experience forklift driver all you had to do was reverse and head towards the left side of the door (where the chair is)and swerve to the left to get parallel with the wall and swerve to the right and whuala you're in. Ps. Lmao ive unloaded rail that's 17-20 ft long. Which is probably longer than those logs and learned myself after about 10mins stuck on how to get it

I work at a fabrication shop with over ten lasers that I take material to and from. try doin that with sheet metal, there ain’t no moving 1inch steel by hand, or try skimming a sheet of 12ga of the top of a bundle, the real forklift driver must of been sick that day lol

That guy is pretty good at forklift my dad gets huge 18000lbs oil drilling equipment that is a little bit longer in less time and turns through the same width and height door.

If you ask me looks like he was having alot of trouble do it every day with 16ftL x 5ftD X 5ftT pallets. On a standard sitdown forklift with only 12ft wide doors in. 1/4 or a little less of the time he just spent plus pick up quarter's off the ground got a hole team that almost never has to get out of their seat

That looks more like austin powers when he was on that cart

I could have done that on my fist try, blindfolded, driving backwards, while drunk and half asleep.

Those are called grasshoppers. Goes on the back of semi`s Used for on-site deliveries. One went for $85K at auction.

I work with forklifts all the time and that would have been cake to any of my coworkers

We do that at our job every day, long steel buggies almost twice as wide as a door thats at least 2x bigger than that..

I do this all the time at my work.

Um sir, he changed his mind. He wants the 2x4s outside now.😟

New title : when you do this shot all day everyday and still have to get off the forklift to re adjust.

Do that with my eyes closed every day

Oh my sides hurt from laughing so hard,I love amateur comedy hour

Probably could have backed in a lot easier and faster. Pull up parallel to the building with the center of the load against the left side of the door, crank the wheel all the way and swing it right in

Take a stack that's 23 feet long through a 12 foot door then you can compare notes with me. Now do that at a speed where you can get other things done in a day

Been there done that with less fwd/rev with bunks of 16' 16ga 6' structural steel studs

Pro tip , try going in backwards it's much easier

Does this have the same controls as a sit down?

Lol good thing he wasn’t a bad forklift operator 😂

In Australia we do that daily and in half the time

Number 1 hero champion LOL

I'm on a lunch break at work right now watching and laughing my ass off, I could've got that wood in the in no time lmfao

It would have helped if they did'nt have so much crap stored all around the Entrance !!

I do that all the time with Moffetts at my work

How good is that . by the time he got in there I could of carried all of it

What are you gushing about? Lol He hooked through a doorway. He would have done it faster if he were on a different machine that he could have set the load down when he wanted to. Instead, he just pushed the boards over by hand.

When your so good you can drive threw a door wider than the load your carrying hahaha

I could of had 4 loads in the door by the time he did one. Good job for an amateur though.Was this his first day?

To easy. I use to move 20’ bundles angle iron through doors like that.

Guessing that moffit doesn't walk

All he had to do is cut it a bit to his right and side shift sone and he could sneak his way in, easy peasy

I used to do that all day every day with 30 foot 3,000 pound cylinders

8000 square foot warehouse and you can't even get wood through the door. Needs bigger doors on that warehouse lol

this dude took to long, but reading the comments section it seems like going in backwards is easier. i will have to try it next time.

if the door is too small for the load the, get one side of load through the door, push your forks to the side of the packet that through the door, drive through door, its not exactly rocket science

Mike Spicolli could've done that in one move with a regular forklift in a quarter of the time.

Thats nothing amazing

i would have just put my forks in the middle of the bundle vertically and lifted just enough for it to not touch the ground and go straight in with it saving time and company money

Try 20 ft steel through a 12 ft door.

How about just making it one big door instead of two small ones???

I used to do it weekly. Lol

Standard forklift practice but fail in this case he got off to adjust the load + way too slow

Perhaps a wider door is in order.

That's not a forklift. That's a Moffett. When he took that bundle off without retracting his Forks he could have been in serious trouble.

I take it you've never driven a forklift before.

I drive a JCB 355.105 every day ..... i do this kind of thing with 21' scaffold tubes....

Wow! He can do what he gets paid to do.

I would have just laid the planks of wood sideways facing the door on a skid and pushed it straight inside

That explains why doors and jams are always bent out of shape

Normal day at a lumber yard. That forklift has way more adjustment then a standard lower tier forklift. Try doing all that with a shitty dirt/gravel lot

Thats a piece of cake its simple

Trade the forklift in for 1 where you can also drive side ways.

When the truck is waiting to get unloaded

Hold my beer !

Try that with 20’ I-beams through a 14’ wide door like we do all day and I might be somewhat impressed..

A lil slow for me...at my job if you can't get it quickly, you'll get replaced with someone who can. .not fired but a gofer. So you better get better or practice after work.

Weak sauce. Try taking 16ft boards thru a 10 foot door. Then I'll respect you. That is also much easier going in backwards fyi.

I agree Bob!!!

Try flipping a dime on the ground with the tip of the fork on to the fork

Let’s see him try that with a regular forklift and not with a piggyback lift.

When your really this good at waisting time! grab it set it down snag your long forks grab it long ways go straight in an get to building!

Did that plenty of times.

...I nearly fell asleep !!.. ffs .. !!..

I can do that. Great job

All these comments are said with out knowing how many bundles went inside this warehouse. This video was taken with only the final bundle going into the warehouse. Ps Taking care of your customers is a plus .

At the start he gave the trailer a bit of a whack, so thats a fail.

Mick Harris did this so much better at Walkersteel in the 70's as so much quicker.

He needs a newer better moffet.. I have the one with a longer extension. I don't have to get off the lift..

I would have pulled up, got out and moved some of that shit out of the way and saved half the video.

Took him long enough should have just gotten a couple dollys and pushed it in hahaha

He cheated, he had to get off the lift. The best drivers are the lazy ones, who never gets off the lift and gets done.

Moffatt madness lol

Let us know when you need a forklift operator.

Waited for something amazing to happen it never did.

The title says when your that good and then he gets off hehehehe

Lmao that's why they make the newer Moffitts that turn the wheels and drive sideways! Get with the times dude....

Ahahahahahah wtf it looks like he is driving a fuc.... Titanic

mate im quicker half asleep

Use to do this with 9m bar throught 4 m doors. He turns with the load raised big no no in Oz. Then he made the load unbalanced. Still its not like he is shit just not a full time forky

you know......u couldve put the load down.... pull out. hit it on the side to turn it to the point where its vertical and push it straight in?????

Go in backwards, easy peasy

I would have picked them up long ways but then again that is a small lift could have possibly tipped over UNLESS u pick em up lpng ways from the floor and just kept ot inches off the ground either its a trick most of you guys prolly haven't seen before wish i could post a pic with my comment to show

well not any door

Do people ever complain about not getting their wood in time??? Wonder why

Coulda done a 16 footer in a 20oz in a sec

actually ....its called a moffit

What he get off for if he's agood driver

Easy work I do this at Home Depot

LMFAO,, that's how you get wood in a warehouse.

Ummm Getting off the forklift = Disqualified. Moving the load with hands= Disqualified. Taking a half hour to do 5 minutes work= Disqualified. Probably daddy's company.

That's not a forklift..its a moffett
