The guy who filmed this is easily impressed

I drive a flt and have done for years. These trucks don't run you over they rip you to pieces. Speed is important but precision and the safety of everyone around you is the only thing that matters

I’ve worked with a ton of guys like that. Fast is good .. but safety is better

Flyin round corners with the forks in the air.. awesome driving

un-safe driver, driving way too fast, banging the freight around, not looking both ways backing out of the trailer, It is very easy to floor load a trailer, move a long folks nothing to see here.

He broke a lot of OSHA safety rules. Not only that he could have hit someone who would be walking on the dock.

Not using his horn before backing up? Backing out too fast. He will hurt someone very soon if he hasn't already.

I been a forklift operator for about over 10 years and have work fast amazing operators. But like I always tell the young guys I rather be safe than sorry.

Gd driving on the forklift but really no safety for others. Not once did he use the horn or even look back.

Reckless? Yes! Skills? Maybe. Safety? No!

(In movie guy voice) "IN A WORLD...WITH NO OSHA...AND NO REPERCUSSIONS...."

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👊

Seen a lot of hate comments...But I tell you this... What I just seen is Ballet On the Forks!! and this is only achievable when the "Peds" stay the F out of the way... No Need for horns..Mmmnnk? it's about Timing and Knowing EXACTLY when Buddy is Going to be Coming out of that Trailer or coming down mainstreet with a load. I did this with 2 other Guys on lifts....and the syncronicity is Amazing. 16 Yr Forklift op and Punching that clock for 21 yrs.

i like how every forklift video, the comments are 100% filled with other forklift drivers who are obviously better than the guy in the video

I for real was expecting much more but this was in fact quite smooth.

Do same shit everyday and you get fast,smooth. Just don't slip and hurt someone

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'm was a yard manager at the number one building material company here in Tucson az. I unloaded 8 to 12 trucks of drywall 4 by 12 feet 1inch thick. 58ft long steel beams to build the new Az stadium. trucks full of mud, insulation, ceiling tile, All while loading and unloading our trucks with every kind of building material imaginable. 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.

Almost had an accident at the end what’s good about that

I worked with a dude who would full speed up and down the terminal. Got more than a few complaints but he got the job done quickly and somehow safely.

I'd be pulling this guy's operator ticket faster than he reverses that truck.

Truck drivers appreciate this

If you get paid by the hour🤷🏻‍♂️. Why risk safety. I loved the long forks.

you're so fast when lunch time catches you at working

For real… anybody that has worked in logistics or shipping for more than a year can do this ….. 🤦‍♂️😂😂🙏

Because of those who do it so quickly, the manager will later say why you are doing it so slowly, but you can do it faster! They just spoil the job!

Just by looking at his load I can tell this man never gets off his Forklift

Fast isn't necessarily good. I am more impressed by operators able to extremely precisely place their loads. Or by those who drove forklift for 30 or 40 years without any accidents.

wouldnt want to work around him. Skill is decent though.

Its shows that safety is nothing for those guys,if you have a good skill in driving a forklift you will always remember the basic for your safety and also your cargo

Dangerous forklift driving right here

That guy is just trying to finish his shift and go home.

When upper management sees this video, he's fired lol

That is great. But as a forklift driver, if you put in enough time, people would be amazed at how well we can handle a forklift.

Forklift driver for r&l here. Not only is he not all that great, but he has very little regard for the safety of those around him. I wouldn't want to share a dock with him

They dont even pay attention to what its behind

I love that can of forklift it very fast and strong to

Not wearing a safety vest, not wearing a seatbelt, not using his horn I can keep going

You can tell the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet closes in an hour

don't ever work for a company that allows a total neglect for safety... death won't pay the bills.. Quite honestly I'd report them without hesitation...

You think he is a magician ? Wow... you would consider me a God at FedEx freight

Everyone saying how unsafe it is obviously never drove a forklift for their job ever. They train you for "safety" but once you're trained all they care about is how fast you can fire pallets on and off a truck. If you drove like they show you in the training videos it would take three guys to do the same work they expect from one in the span of a shift

I am not the fastest forklifter. But I am almost the only one in my company with no damage. And that’s were people look up to. Better be a little slower than others than just ramming every thing to be a minute faster.

Every fucking KZfaq video of an ostensibly “impressive” forklift driver is just actually just a guy who thinks he can never die

I get paid by the hour.

I don't mind quick but you've got to have some regard for safety, which there was non here.

There's 2 places that I service forklifts at. 1 place, maybe a quarter of their operators are this good. But all of them will get you dizzy. Another place has 1 driver and likely like this guy, wears tires down like a madman. This 1 driver has the forklift floored pretty much before he turns the key.

BEEN A FORKLIFT OPERATOR 20 YEARS HOSS. THIS IS NOTHN -GOBBLESS

He knows he is being watched so the hot dogging will continue

He’s floorloading it better be that fast 🤣😂🤣🤣 show me some stacks and some straps

You cannot drive safely and observe hazards at such reckless speeds, sooner rather than later a accident will happen a bad one at that!

He's a bad forklift driver who has never had an accident. I've seen people like him fuck up and never get reprimanded...

Lots of safety related comments here, but the truth is that if he were driving like that where I worked he'd be too slow. No seriously. And no, no one's died or had a work related forklift injury in the 3 years I've worked there.

That's very simple, use some deck tracks and fully cube out a trailer. We can load 20k in them 28 foot trailer with 20+ bills on it. Come on over to Old dominion and we'll show y'all how to forklift and work around 200 workers at the same time.

While definitely an impressive operation at speed, I do not trust anyone like this driver in the workplace.

Hes alright. A little above average imo

That forklift is a piece of cake. Anyone and I mean anyone can master this machine in a month.

Before you get up the trailer need to honk honk honk honk honk

Literally no need to rush on a forklift.

Bro, you're an hourly paid warehouse employee. Stop trying to show off because eventually someone is going to end up hurt or dead. There's no reason to rush when you're not being paid by production.

That's is some good driving tho just be more careful 👍

If we work this fast 💨 and finish the job way to early. We get sent home and payed by hour, not for how fast we finish the job, sadly

I wouldn't fly around like Michael Schumacher to impress nobody do me job and home to me family.

Do the same thing 130 times a shift for 6 months and this is actually fairly average for any competent forklift driver.

No seat belt No checking reverse Slamming freight

didnt honk once, driving with his forks 3 feet off the ground.....

Nice skills

that chubby guy looks like friend of mine

Not many forklifts you can do that with, toyota forklifts are as balanced as a fine knife and they have that anti roll thing.

Dude is driving around at Mach jesus, for what!?!?! Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. I would not want to work around this guy.

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.

Easy loads and easy money.

A real Safety Supervisor would have a fit. Blood Pressure boiling. Talk bout Safety Risk and Liability.

Rough driving and not thinking about luggage

Fast is good but when entering a trailer and coming out use your horn.

How does he see through a pallet of boxes?... xray vision?

Full light operator......skill 1

I dont hear the horn

They can keep dock work smh especially in winter

He won't pass the test...he broke a lot of rules...

more like dangerous forklift operator

Bro...he would have been fired asap at my warehouse. Let osha see this lol

Im preparing this job in my future. Does everyone drive that fast???????? Im panic. Looks so dangerous.

he is not blowing his horn!!! not using his seatbelt!!! and does not have his lights on for others to see him!!! SAFTEY

Forklift is easy as taking a shit, even easier if you do it all day.

This guy would get fired quick at a lot of warehouses. Very unsafe driving habits.

He's driving too fast and his forks aren't lowered.

Unfortunately one of the places I worked at was really I mean super osha strict they damn made sure you follow the book driving the forklift… unfortunately you can’t work fast or you would get written up. I get safety is important and I agree, but holy shit I’ve never worked any slower in my entire life, I like to work fast especially with a forklift…

After working the dock in the morning around 11:00 a.m. I would take a 20 bill P&D trailer out.

Quick and unsafe, shit is deadly keep it safe

I am surprised they let them load a box truck. Floor could fail

ExxonMobil is watching u..😹

Literally do this and alot more all day every day.

NO!!... this guy is reckless!! Working Fast is not good if you aren't safe. This guy blew that horn once in that short video. The moment "if" he did, he didn't bother to stop or look at the exit of picking up his load. He didn't toot the horn coming out of the truck either. Although, unauthorized persons should not be in the area, those that are could be. It is the responsibility of the driver as well the operator to pay attention and be safe.. was he effective at completion of his work absolutely! The possibility of error or accident was very high.

No seat belt that I could see.

Fork lifts are so much in to drive 🥳🥳

No such thing as a awesome forklift operator. Everywhere I've worked the forklift is the lowest position you can possibly have the position where somebody gets put when it's pretty obvious they can't do anything else

Yes, he has skills, but so do a few millions plus all over planet Earth that are just as good.

Safety first

More like extremely dangerous and unsafe forklift driver.
