Do you think if I’m mechanically inclined and have a diesel mechanics diploma but not any other hands on experience I could get a job as a forklift mechanic apprentice?

[@theforkliftguy]

Yes, 100%. I started as an apprentice with no experience or any diploma.

After Oil filter change I forgot input engine Oil than run just 5 minutes And power weak than finally stop engine. I try jump and change alternate but still can't start It might be engine damaged? If not what I NEED TO CHECK

[@tootoosick18]

Dam, I don’t have time to do an engine swap being independent. I’m busy enough

[@perryjessup441]

As a independent I love swapping 4y. My father and I have done so many it's a day job for us. Toyota 5 and 6 series are in my opinion the best lifts ever.

[@parts7959]

Good video, im not a forklift mechanic but this was very interesting. Do you need to go to a tech school to learn this or do any fork truck company’s hire and train?

[@theforkliftguy]

Thank you for watching! Most places will hire and train, if not all. Right now there’s a shortage of mechanics.

@@theforkliftguy good to know, I’m looking to relocate to north Florida and need a career change. Subbed

@@parts7959 I appreciate it you! I live in south Florida. Lots of work here in Florida. Everything is growing

[@paulsoverhauls]

How do you like the neck light? I feel like I’m laying down too much where it would fall off

[@theforkliftguy]

If you’re constantly laying on your back it’s not good at all. It falls off my neck a lot when I’m underneath an equipment. But other than that, it’s amazing. I use it every single day. The battery could be a little bit better, but that’s OK, I just put it back on the charger after every job.

[@richardabarca4923]

Is this the same engine for a 5fgc25 ?

[@theforkliftguy]

Yes!

[@jesuszaragoza6554]

Hi brotha, I’m stuck with a 7 series Toyota that’s when I turn on the unit and give it throttle it runs but once I let off it dies. I have proper voltage and my lp system if full the one thing I do notice is the regulator is full of tar . Can that cause the issue if not staying running ?

[@theforkliftguy]

Sounds like a gas issue or needs a tune up. ASSUMING that the spark is good and consistent, then I would lean towards a bad gas regulator. Yes, that tar can cause issues. Especially if that tar made its way to the carburetor. Maybe that needs to be cleaned as well.

[@jesuszaragoza6554]

Thank you man we are on the same page . I appreciate you.
