I've been driving a forklift on and off over 30 years. This guy is very good at what he does. Obviously OSHA would not approve, however I'm sure his boss is very happy wih how efficient he was.
I have 33 years of experience in LTL transport. This guy is not doing anything dangerous. He is doing what he can with what he has. Their is always time frames to respect in any logistic job. He looks very efficient and competent.
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.
This guy is good. As a forklift driver myself with 27 years experience, one usually finds operators like this are generally the safest.....despite all the official training procedures. I hate having to do everything "properly" when it comes to refresher time!!!
Andy Preston been at it on loading and recieving docks for 7 months and I've learned if they don't drive like that..they've probably never been on a truck and I stay the hell away of from them lol
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.
lol super senior guys like you with the "he's safe...despite his wilful ignorance of the SOPs" are actually the most dangerous people in shops and therefore among the worst employees. too into their hire date to understand the sop exist for one reason: because robots can't do your job yet.
i work in a warehouse. i taught myself to always look where im going. even if im only moving a foot or 3 inches. people will walk right up behind you trying to die 🤐
I second that, only what's worse is the people walking in my blind spot are managers and health and safety officials, and the place they walk is not a pedestrian walking area but they use their title to do whatever they like.
When your company can't or simply won't hire enough people and get enough equipment to get the job done safely and on time you gotta do what you gotta do.
Skodz Gaming dangerous my arse. Dangerous to what? When you’re being pushed to get shit done, as a forklift driver I know you have to go bat out of hell to get it done.
as one forklift cowboy to another I salute his flagrant contempt for convention! I too do horrific things with my forklift at Tokyo international airport :)
I'd say it took quite a while to learn that routine. Nicely done! I'm a material handler in a warehouse, my skills are definitely up there. I wish my coworkers could say the same..lmao
At 00:23 the driver disregarded basic safety.. Had a school bus or a group of elderly ramblers walked into his path via a time portal he would have been totally unaware of them, causing untold carnage and explosions blowing up the harbour and destroying Alaska's fishing industry.. Basics man, basics.
I think he did pretty good in the environment that he is in. Different skills in different situations, he did amazing. Shaved a lot of time by doing it his way.
I agree...ive worked forklifts in warehouses and lumber mills...and iv learned to operate them backwards when loaded...and when in an open area you can do more with little efforts
It's been a long time since I drove a forklift, but I was pretty good when I did. I mostly preferred driving backwards when I had a load. You can actually see better going backwards. With a load on the forks, you have a huge blind spot wherever your head is.
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.
Good driver! What he is doing is pretty easy with plastic,, aluminum and wood container bins.. Its a different story when you are moving huge loads of product that have a ton more weight loading semi trailers,, 4&5 teer racks in warehouses and moving huge industrial equipment to and from with people around/cant drive as fast.. Im pretty sure this driver can do much more with his good driving skills in heavy equipment as well.. What he is doing in this video is years of experience and doing the same routine day in and day out.. I have about 15yrs in standup and sit down lift driving and i have to say im pretty damn good myself lol.. I can spot a skilled driver within 1 minute behind the lift..
I don't know about highly skilled but as far as getting the job done he is your man. borderline reckless definitely dangerous keep well away from his truck.
Oh, wow, a 3ton Komatsu, how did you handle such a raging monster of a machine on terrifying flat ground? My heart was in my mouth for a full 3 and a half minutes. I am now going to write a sternly worded letter to the entire world warning them not to watch such a pulsating and reckless display of load shifting.
That's not reckless, a good driver can make thing's easier for a lot of people. Any one can drive a forklift and lift shit up and down, there is a difference between driving it and making the sucker do the work, especially if you can make it do what you want.
That’s actually very easy to do, considering there was little to no weight. It’s when you’re moving things that are big and heavy that your skills get put to the test.
Pretty creative use of equipment. I'm used to moving freight that you can't toss around . I imagine that facilities mechanic hates that kid. When you push the agility of any type of lift something eventually breaks.
Nice work. Little wasted movement, got the job done quickly and even drove in reverse with a tall load (watch other vids here if you don't get why that's a big deal). Kudos!
aside from not looking behind him much, I think he's just fine. I handle freight with similar speed and precision and I end up being called on by the bosses for priority projects.
This is ok if you drive there alone or with 1 other person and have a pattern together but if there are alot of drivers and people this is dangerous af
Wish the hydrolics on the sellick I use was that quick.

Not too bad... Good control on wet soil, nice job with the containers as well. But he almost never looks behind and it's very dangerous. ...ohh and one more thing. This music made all of my hair fall off...
Still unsafe, an environment is never "controlled." Anything unexpected can happen. Drives too fast when it's wet, a forklift cannot stop as quickly as a car, also drives forward with his view blocked and not looking back. A safe, competent, forklift driver should never, ever drive like this.
Forklifts are dangerous machines. A regular warehouse forklift can weigh up to 6,000 pounds. An outdoor one like that can weigh up to 12,000 pounds. 100 people per year are killed in forklift accidents.What if one of your loved ones were killed by a careless operator, showing off? It is no joke Scooter.
You calling me Scooter, Trucker? I think there should be a disclaimer before the video that reads "No loved ones were hurt during the filming of this show off video of a guy driving a forklift alone on a wet pier"
only one thing to perfect here, instead of playing with the thing to turn it back, i'd just drive in, lift it up, make sure i have space, gain speed and brake hard, the box will make a kickflip :D
um real companies that aren't the walmarts and amazons of the world (ie 95% of big employers) actually want you to do it safe because safe = $$$ and rushing does nothing but provide surplus/idle time for the unskilled monkeys that will soon be replaced by disciplined robots.
Great job! Facial recognition isn't totally possible. Jesse looks a little like me! I'm stealing this video and passing this off as me! Great video reference! Thanks Jesse! Great work!
Seems pretty good to me. As a FL driver myself the guy has skills. He obviously knows his forklift and what it can do. Nice work sir! In this line of work if you are slow, you don't have a job.
um in your line of work if you're fast and therefore dangerous and taking risk you don't have a job. we the management don't care if you do something 3-4 minutes (1%) faster we care if someone gets injured or if you damage our shit. slow safe hardworking employees are the best they don't have dumb attitudes they don't hurt themselves or others and they don't cause managers drama.
You've obviously never driven a forklift. You can be both fast and safe if you know what you are doing. The driver in this video is very skilled and in control. I have been on both sides and there is always pressure from "management" to be both safe and fast. Just my opinion! 😁
The dock was also empty of other workers and dock workers are aware of forktrucks. Did the employer make sure forklift was equipped with a backup beeper as per osha?

@@Dan-eu1dz I agree, seen pallets snap because the forks aren't long enough to handle the load. Etc. That thing isn't a Honda Civic.

I know right!
All the time
@Bruce Wayne It's not worth it in exchange for life in prison.
From one forklift truck driver to another Big respect.
you must be another bad one then, he is extremely dangerous.
When your company can't or simply won't hire enough people and get enough equipment to get the job done safely and on time you gotta do what you gotta do.

DarkCybrid most honest fact I've ever read on a youtube comment section boss even told me that he just said don't fuck anything of the products 👌
@@DarkCybrid AMEN
as one forklift cowboy to another I salute his flagrant contempt for convention! I too do horrific things with my forklift at Tokyo international airport :)
This is how they dont teach you but your employer expects it done like this
Colossal_ Biscuitz excatly
Fortunately, not each one xD
*not how they teach you... typo
Osha says no. Time otj says yes
Exactly....
I'd say it took quite a while to learn that routine. Nicely done! I'm a material handler in a warehouse, my skills are definitely up there. I wish my coworkers could say the same..lmao
Respect, from 15 yr lift operator.. Maybe not the "safest", but definitely great skill.

Hyooman Bean its a work place. Not public area
holy fuck you're dumb!
Michael Christensen I have time portals where I work...
Good skills
Every single fucking reply here fails to see the obvious sarcasm in this comment, which is aimed at the other comments...
Dude is a boss! He makes those forks an extension of himself.
I've only been the main forklift guy for my company for about 5 years and this guy taught me some new tricks
From one forky to another, salute you.
I think he did pretty good in the environment that he is in. Different skills in different situations, he did amazing. Shaved a lot of time by doing it his way.

This guy: give me 5.

Not his first day for sure. Nice work.
i drive one every day, he might be showing off here but he clearly knows how to drive that thing
I don't know about highly skilled but as far as getting the job done he is your man. borderline reckless definitely dangerous keep well away from his truck.
And on a wet ground
felicitaciones excelente trabajo del operador. sabe lo que esta asiendo y tiene iniciativa propia para organizar .....saludos

I drive forklift in a packed warehouse everyday I think he looked squared away great driving
this looks fun af
HE'S GOT SOME MAD SKILLS ON A FORLIFT! PROFESSIONAL FOR SURE!
That’s actually very easy to do, considering there was little to no weight. It’s when you’re moving things that are big and heavy that your skills get put to the test.
This guy just broke all the safety rules.
He definitely got a promotion after this video lol best I’ve seen

Nice work. Little wasted movement, got the job done quickly and even drove in reverse with a tall load (watch other vids here if you don't get why that's a big deal). Kudos!
Since his "load" was empty bins that were a small fraction of the lift capacity, BFD.
aside from not looking behind him much, I think he's just fine. I handle freight with similar speed and precision and I end up being called on by the bosses for priority projects.
Looks like a typical everyday forklift operator to me
This guy is obviously not being filmed for a documentary on industrial handling equipment safety but he does know how to drive it. Skills.
This is ok if you drive there alone or with 1 other person and have a pattern together but if there are alot of drivers and people this is dangerous af
he is clearly by himself on the dock as far as we see
Quick and efficient
Show belo operador de empilhadeira !!
Good job👍
I'd love to work in that good clean air.
skilled AF !
Great job dude
Pretty Impressive! Looks pretty skilled to me.
Very experienced
I just got my forkies 3 weeks ago
hey, EX forklift operator here. of 47 years. good job buddy
How can i get a forklift Opperator work in Canada or the us..am fr Jamaica...
It's not lazy; it's efficient!
killing it in the description haha
while i despise standard forklifts what model is that because it seems to work wonderfully lol?
Very good stuff bud.
Браво професионально 👍👍👍
@ Op.
This is definitely somewhere in Alaska.
Which cannery?
You know even though the title says different he has had some training that boy
I would hire him
The music alone lol
Wish the hydrolics on the sellick I use was that quick.
Not too bad... Good control on wet soil, nice job with the containers as well. But he almost never looks behind and it's very dangerous. ...ohh and one more thing. This music made all of my hair fall off...
he does not look back because they're doing the video and it's a controlled environment, i guess.
Still unsafe, an environment is never "controlled." Anything unexpected can happen. Drives too fast when it's wet, a forklift cannot stop as quickly as a car, also drives forward with his view blocked and not looking back. A safe, competent, forklift driver should never, ever drive like this.

I think there should be a disclaimer before the video that reads "No loved ones were hurt during the filming of this show off video of a guy driving a forklift alone on a wet pier"
he has done that more than once before 😃
wouldn't wanna be around this guy working, you gotta have eyes everywhere.
This is what a GED gets you.
Respect for the cameraman
In Bulgaria firklift drivers receive maximum 500 euro for month 25 days -- 10 hours work everyday
Anyone know the music being played? Love it.. would like to hear more.
archangels thunderbird
Anyone know the song?
I have been forklift operator for 1 day in a factory, and i must admit that this guy is a GOD
No wonder you think that then LOL
He is the very Best !!
That guy is awesome. I would have to guess that guy loves his job
only one thing to perfect here, instead of playing with the thing to turn it back, i'd just drive in, lift it up, make sure i have space, gain speed and brake hard, the box will make a kickflip :D
O Cara É Bom!
I taught him very well
HE wasn't wearing his SEATBELT he is FIRED.
Nah he ain’t a guy wrote a forklift of at my work and still has a job 😂
Genius,most company's want u fast and smart also safe.
um real companies that aren't the walmarts and amazons of the world (ie 95% of big employers) actually want you to do it safe because safe = $$$ and rushing does nothing but provide surplus/idle time for the unskilled monkeys that will soon be replaced by disciplined robots.
This guy can move!
Great job! Facial recognition isn't totally possible. Jesse looks a little like me! I'm stealing this video and passing this off as me! Great video reference! Thanks Jesse! Great work!
From one forklift Operator to another,,, THAT'S HARD CORE!!!!!!!😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Those are fuccn good ass forklift operator skills

Piękne góry i jezioro. Chciałbym tam pracować.
ive been driving in my off time at work the past year, maybe half hour a day and i can do all this lol but pretty good 😉
that's called experience, that's all
not bad , not bad
Sarcasm seems to elude some people. :-)
Yeah.... I know.......
Read the description...both of you
Good job
Troll bait at its best. Great efficient operating. Just Lucky you never knocked down all the people who weren't there.
All it takes is one person to be there, for one Person to die. IE the Person Filming, SMART ASS
Where is this location?! It’s looks majestic with mountains in the background
Gotta be Pacific Northwest. Potentially Coastal Alaska.
Amazing..
The dock was also empty of other workers and dock workers are aware of forktrucks. Did the employer make sure forklift was equipped with a backup beeper as per osha?
lets see what he can do with bales no pallets different ball game
I had done it ,good video 🙂
These are some veteran skills. I’d love to see what your “good skills” are then. If he’s efficient, then he’s good to go in my book.
All that and not one donut! PFFFFT!
Nice PIT driving a couple things i would do different but not bad.
absolut dope!wie heist der track?
👏👏👏👏👏 MVP. Salute to you Sir. Work smart not hard. To those that have tight panties live life a little.
