The guy might be a good forklift driver but in that video all he showed is how sloppy and pointlessly fast he could be. A good fork lift driver is accurate quick but has grace as well. No spinning tires or sharp turns. It's calculated and executed professionally. I'm sure that guy has had an accident or 5 in his career. It's like a kid with a new bike that thinks he's the fastest awesomest kid in the world.... Reason for my comment is because I see guys doing that shit at work and it makes me laugh when I see a whole pallet of beans spill and hit the ground. So I guess this a thanks as a reminder of what not to do👊

I've loaded and unloaded all kinds of material all in the fuckin rain, cold , and extreme fuckin heat here in az..I've never had an accident where I hurt someone or cost anyone money. Ok fuck one time a pallet of stucco paint .. but that's it.(la) I've earned my strips .. I'll take finesse and safety over recklessness any day. Being fast on a lift is knowing when to be fast without sacrificing safety.

[@virtualtrips1239]

i used to do even crazier shit than this, i miss this so much. The guys alright, i used to be like that too although i was a little skittish and careful in reverse, but i was full steam ahead going forward. All sorts of impressive looking shit is possible on those, like if youre going into a pallet at an angle you can kinda hit the corner of it to straighten it out, or just slam into it as you're picking it up which this guy did. I used to do these sort of burnouts where you'd be going fast in one direction and then throw it the other way without taking off the gas, that was actually really useful sometimes for maneuvering at times when you're zipping around like that. Though the forklifts we had had much bigger front wheels and the whole thing was heavier in general that these ones, so maybe doing that could tip it forward on these smaller ones. You can also do these weird tilts and and put your forks right under a shelf to get into tight ish aisles, although taking the pallet down when you do that is tougher and picking it up lol. I even used to pick up stupid shit like bottles and set them back down, or brooms or garbage cans. Another thing, esp useful for those odd things is you can tilt the forks down so theyre scraping the ground like a razor blade, lets you pick up things like a spatula. To get them off you kinda gotta reverse super fast to let it slide off. To those of you complaining about osha violations or whatever the fuck, you have to understand, theres an art to using forklifts fast, or picking up things its not intended to. The second you start to do EVERYTHING at a snails pace is where you let this art become a chore. You need to be alert, attentive, know exactly what you are doing and know when something is safe to do and when its not. Not dogmatically like always following every rule, but when it actually makes sense. You need to understand where everyone is before you do anything, know what any other forklifts are doing, where they are, the route theyre probably about to take, and not do something insane when someones close or in your way. Dont fuck around with shelving ever, but especially if others are near it. And NEVER do anything super crazy when you're carrying a load. Thats a good way to tip the load over or even the whole forklift. Like i said, you just be smart about things. This guy here doesnt beep when in reverse, big no no. Also want to mention i only usually dealt with pallets of bagged mulch or other sturdy things i could bang around a little. Be smart with what you're moving too. And try no to break the skid To those of you out there who drive or have driven forklifts like a mad lad and have always been careful about it, havent made a significant accident becuase you're smart about what you do and how you do it, keep up the art.

I drove 30 years for Morning Star Packing world’s largest tomato processing company. I see lot of comments about speed and safety but when working production line environment you have to be fast that’s just how real world works, what separates elite drivers from the rest is ability to combine the two it’s not for everyone, certain lift jobs require higher degree of ability, example you have experience and a license to drive a car but do you have the ability to drive a race car probably not.
