I agree Mr Red. I just got my licence and my mentor warned me not to drag the forks because it would put unnecessary pressure on the hydraulics and chain, getting them out of alignment.

Best part is that no one hasn't shown how to do a 180 degree handbrake turn with a forklift. That was fun to do when I drove them. :D Also doing precise 90 degree handbrake turns was fun too.

I unintentionally ran over a large chunk of wood from a broken pallet the other day going pretty fast and around a corner.

4 Hours? I drive a fork here in Australia and can load a B double semi, that is a truck pulling 2 trailers...the lead or 'A' trailer holding 12-14 pallets and the rear or 'B' trailer holding 22-24 pallets in around 30 mins, depending on how fast the driver is strapping his load down as I go. and if I'm loading a truck the has load restraint curtains and they dont need to strap and and I get a good rhythm going I can do it in around 25-30 mins.

As a forklift driver for over Thirty Years I would like to say first...The Coin Trick is not that Hard and is overdone all over the net. Second....I like the Cigarette lighter trick...now that one was original and Pretty impressive. Third....The rest of the Video isn't so much tricks as just asinine unsafe stunts that I would not recommend. Forklifts are dangerous Vehicles. They weigh more than the average pickup truck and are unstable when used in unsafe ways. I have seen people seriously injured and killed by unsafe acts with forklifts. These individuals should not ever be allowed to drive a forklift again and I hope that their employer saw these Videos and immediately Fired them

This is a genuine question, but why assume they don't accept that risk? Many people do dangerous things simply for fun, like every extreme sport ever.

The coin flip trick is a great one because it's super easy for anyone that has even minimal forklift driving skills, but it looks really impressive. I tried it when I first saw this trick, and was able to flip two dimes at once onto each forklift blade with only a few tries. And it's not because I am exceedingly talented at driving a forklift.

[@chadmorris9940]

I’ve done the coin trick onto the water bottle using a crown rc. Doing it on the propane is actually much easier to do because you are able to bounce the forks to move the coin. Not to mention a sit down lift has more tilt than a standup.

The second one is not a "trick." It's just a bigger machine lifting a smaller one. What's hidden in the fork extensions, and that is what is allowing him to do it.

[@alekkonert158]

Not to mention its actually really dangerous. Normally that small forklift's footprint would extent out to the outer edges of its tires. With the small forklift being on forks inboard of the wheels it effectively raises its sideways center of gravity increasing the chance of the small forklift falling over to either side if he picks up the load off center of his forks.

The "box trick" was the best one. You can see how precise he drives & handles the boxes with constant speed. He got skills. The coin flip tricks are easy with a thin fork tip so that does not impress me. The one with the lighter would have been great if it was a "one take" video. There was a "cut" just before he lighted the cigarette so i think it has been manipulated. The guy who jumped off the forklift ist simply stupid. People keep forgetting how heavy a forklift is. forklift accidents are fatal in most cases and cause serious injuries so always be aware and dont do stupid risky things. Its not worth it.

And the person doing the burnout would be fired i am all for the occasional burnout but not on a piece of equipment that cost 95$ a hour to work on and 1000 replace those "tires".
