Well as a forklift operator instructor with 12 years experience all I can say is that it's good to know the rules and principles before you break them so at least you can pretend. In other words when you are about to handle $250k worth of machinery and drop it because you didn't secured the truck before depositing load at high level for example guess who's fault is that? I wish you all the best anyway.

When you drive a lift for so long, you learn things like these along the way, mostly from other old veteran drivers. We had a guy in our whse, Raul, who would do letdowns and he would never actually drive into the bay to put the product in. All his maneuvers were done by simply sliding or nudging the pallet with the tip of the forks. That guy made production standards like crazy, always had tons of time to burn.

What he is doing in this video is years of experience and doing the same routine day in and day out..

I have been at the incident time when I walked checking goods. One guy was showing his skills to the new starters. He spin around like crazy with FLT and in one moment the tub of shrink wrap flew out of the truck from the back of the seat. Another spin in circle made him ride right on the wrap tube and made him jump as well tipping over. Unfortunately he had no chance to grab the steering firmly and lean to opposite side from tipping direction so the forklift tipped over on his neck with the guard frame causing death. His 8 years experience has tragic final. No one knows when will be your final but you can extend your live every day simply following safety rules. Of course would be a good idea to have an specially controlled designated area for extreme FLT operating skills show with safety equipment installed. I worked with big variety of FLT trucks over 12 Years and I do have lot of skills, tricks and technics. But I NEVER overprice myself and I respect my profession.
