Forklift Accident: Insure a Clear Line of Sight

Always look in the direction of travel. If the load blocks your view, travel in reverse. Keep a clear view.
You can see our drivers held redacted as he watches from the right of the load. Not noticing trouble to the left.

I blame the black dots. Who can see with a black dot on their face?

[@kylel.1965]

Meownold J. Trump Lol. Best comment on here

[@chuckatack]

Meownold J. Trump lol.agreed

[@pauldavis5665]

Those were added in after to protect identities.

[@lucynolan3487]

😁 hahaa

[@keisursoze]

I have been operating these for 15 years and the black dots dont affect me at all.

[@ultrainstinct1085]

The guy with the load is at fault. You never drive a forklift going forwards with a load that obstructs your view. You drive backwards and you turn your head or use your mirrors.

[@dsrevo79]

The guy walking almost got run over too

[@holidayinn4293]

Did the dock manager not even bother to check out if he looked like he had ever been on a lift before? How do things like this even happen?

[@davesstuff1599]

Why the blurred crap? Everyone is 200 feet away.

[@thetwat4012]

If you can't see infront of your load then you should OBVIOUSLY be travelling in reverse. Rule number 2 when driving these machines. I've been driving forklift trucks for over 30 yrs & you very early on learn this

[@johnkepa2240]

Dave Warren it's common sense. however common sense isn't that common in some people I guess

[@alyyj1925]

Dave Warren I've just got my FL licence and even I'm aware about that and I drive in reverse when i can not see what's in front of me.

[@rogueplanet13]

Rule number 2 was a bit shit lol

[@cupchamp5]

Forklift 101

[@daviddennis7317]

Rule number 3, use your horn.😅

[@GlocKkandchill]

Its called driving backwards

[@joojoojeejee6058]

Insure a clear line of sight? Are there insurances for that?

[@tonydelaney3536]

That would be ‘ENSURE’ rather than Insure wouldn’t it???

[@holschermarc]

If u cant look forward because of the Load u always drive backwards so u can see where u are going. One of the base things our Instructor told us

[@KyleThill]

Spot on

[@MisterH1992]

I never drive forward unless I am going to drop off a pallet. I always honk to let people know I am gonna enter to drop off. Always need a line of sight.

[@chrisclarke7828]

Insure.

[@jackbauer6543]

Looks like an Amazon warehouse AKA hell.

[@davesstuff1599]

jackbauer6543 apparently you are not familiar with an Amazon warehouse, ignorant comment bubbo. They are full of automated robots and very highly organized.

[@jackbauer6543]

No, I worked there (very) briefly and they do have people driving these things.

[@SamGemdzhi]

Все равно видно !

[@hebber1961]

Like we could identify them from 75 ft away through a coke bottle.

[@buickmonte]

Why are all of them carrying umberellas??

[@jooeybabbabooey]

Ensure*

[@--Independence]

[@paulmauer9405]

[@thetwat4012]

[@pingpongpung]

Disliked for censoring faces.

[@pauldavis5665]

[@H0TWHEELS]
