OR Don't operate in a manner that will cause a tip.

[@bobw7018]

This is basic logic, from someone who has only operated forklifts a handful of times. But my logic is, inside the ROPS is the safest place you can be since that same canopy can definitely hurt if you're jumping out. The IDEAL course, is to simply not use the machine wrong and prevent the incident. But staying in the seat is the better choice. Heavy equipment it's the same, but on a substantially heavier level. When machines weigh 10k lb, they're scary if they tip. When it's 100k, it can be devastating.

[@ontheroad5317]

Several of these clips show the operator driving while the load is in the air. That’s a huge mistake. Always bring the load down to a few inches off the ground before you start driving. If the load blocks your view, drive in reverse.

[@timbaldwin6283]

Forks down. Pull your load.

[@powerplay074]

I drove steep downhill forks first and the big metal dumpster on wheels fell off and speed up downhill towards open hall doors, but luckily it fell on its side before hurting any1. I also tried to impress a lady at work by working fast and drove the forks thru some huge package probably an ikea shelf or something the pqckage didnt stand anymore and with 2 fork penetrarions i "hid" the mess in back corner of the logistic complex.

[@davidhunter2824]

This video should be shared for every forklift driver as things not to do with the equipment and what to watch out for.

[@shadowgandalf]

Watching number 3, that is exactly why my warehouse has a policy, where if a HGV driver is staying attached to a trailer during a load/unload, they must surrender their truck keys to the forklift operator, who will keep it on a hook just inside the door. They get the keys back when the operation is complete. That eliminates the risk of an accident like that happening.

At 3:05, you are supposed to run with your load as close to the ground as practical, until you get as close to the object that you are stacking the load upon, as possible. The driver had raised the shed so that he could look under it, as he drove forward, he really needed a spotter to guide the forklift to where it needed to be. At 7:32, any bets that the truck driver went to the wrong truck and pulled out without doing a circle check?

I never even had to get behind the wheel for the certification.

[@deadjuice1880]

9:08 Body type have nothing to do with this scenario. That's a weird observation. That guy is larger than the guy who taught me forklifts, and smaller than the person who taught me to use a "power jack". "Power jacks" are used for precise loading operations, like say, a trailer that it stuffed with full pallets. Notice the ramp: Can't get an angle on the pallet, on a ramp. Try and drive one in, you'd break the pallet. Pushing the pallet in with it is not ideal, but does the job. The guy wasn't paying attention to his tool and work area.

I feel like the shed drop was intentional, he was nowhere near anything that the shed was supposed to "go on". #5 you didnt need two forklifts for that.

Never EVER try to jump out of a tipping forklift. That's how you lose limbs or get cut in half by the cage. You're more than likely going to be fine if you just sit tight.

[@makalaga56]

The first one is weird, because all forklifts I work on have seat sensor, which engages brakes when not pressed (even gasoline ones). Only when forklift is off brakes are loose. 2'nd video - deffinetly not a mistake, because tilt lever was pushed for too long time for it to be "by mistake". 3'rd - communication issue between workers. But still forklifts should have plate with weight limits above some height. The first forklift (biggest one) didn't see what is going up higher, thats why it was a bad attempt. 4'th - communication issue again (OSHA doesnt apply here) 5'th - why the heck did he try to unload middle pallet, when He could get the last one easier? Why did He jump out, when inside forklift (with seatbelts on - OSHA requirements)? Truck driver is morre guilty than forklift, but still?!? 6'th - not a forklift failure 7'th - casual truck driver unexperienced with battery powered forklift, but with no experience. You'll see lots of them when working in warehouses.

[@robertgillette3885]

Sorry but you are incorrect on the last video. That is a every day normal forklift move to move pallets. It doesn't matter if it's in the trailer or wherever you are moving it. Most electronic palletjacks are just longer then a pallet so to avoid damage to the next pallet of shelf you have to put it down and push it the rest of the way. Now when you are loading trailers every inch counts especially with bulky freight that goes beyond the pallet. So it is normal to ram the pallet in to get all the space used and not wasted. Great video though some of the videos i haven't seen yet.

I can confirm the ppt users issue at the end. We have a cargo container that we load deliverys into.
