Funny all the criticism about how slow the driver is, when this whole procedure is about checking aisle width and maneuverability (probably setting up a new warehouse) The driver is probably not even a forklift operator but merely standing in for the testing.Even if he is a certified driver it is not about speed but analysis of aisle width and what will work best.
StarRazor i work at rite aid, we have these racks. (At least they look the same). They’re pretty rough. Rite aid doesn’t care about safety, people hit them all the time and they’ve never collapsed
You put your forks in the gaps around the product in the racking to help give you more clearance between both racks either side which gives you more mobility to move around.
I know this is an old video, but my company just switched the fork lengths on our trucks from 42" to 36". (looks like the forks on this truck are 42") That extra 6" made all the difference in the narrow aisles! It was about $500+ per pair of new forks that just drop right on. For 95% of what we are lifting they work fantastic and I am not concerned with counterbalance issues even when raising 20 feet high. And we can still switch out to the longer ones if absolutely necessary.
The warehouse I started in, I operate the exact lift in this video, the racks were not much if at all wider than 7ft. It was necessary to use the side-shift to get into the pallet while dodging the upright.
try going down one of my aisles. you can not get the machine sideways in the aisle like that. you have to raise the forks and turn into the pallet and line up with the pallet while you have the forks inside of it. and then you have to pull out the pallet sideways and you have to do a lot of side shifting to get it out of there. I don't think it can be any tighter.
my thing is...what happens when you get the pallet on the forks..most pallets over hang the forks about 4 to 5in ...they gon have all kinds of rack damage. .not to say that the pallet can't be taken out
ANTHONY JOHNSON this reach truck looks like the trucks that you can push the forks in without moving the forks and pull them out too. But fuck that in this narrow aisle there's literally no margin of error.
my question is why? unless those items don't move very fast what you're trying to save space wise you're going to lose in efficiency...look how long it took that driver to get himself positioned correctly. if the company is going to stick with that slotting plan I would suggest using a turret truck instead
kirkangel525 it's not the company's fault, it's the slow ass driver. Most warehouses are not like the "demonstration" videos where they have so much space to align their forklift with the pallets. The video looks better than it actually was if you're focusing on how aligned he was with the pallet and the aisle behind him. But did nobody notice that while aligning, his forks went directly into the empty spaces where you place boxes, if said boxes were there, he wouldn't have been able have good alignment. In most cases, literally 95% of the time, your aisles aren't wide enough to line up with your pallets. You need to just put the forks at the right height, and turn your forklift into the pallets while using the sideshift feature accordingly. This is much faster to do than what was shown in this video.
This is the reach I trained on, we now have the yellow yale models. They're not much longer BUT just enough to make pulling in and out a pain. Most of the time you have to scrape the outriggers or the ass end to make the turn. Lol that "safety" bar would be taken off so quick at my store it wouldn't have time to be scratched. I work at a "small" home depot where not much attention was given to aisle spacing for getting pallets into spots.
The instruction I got for certification didn't have it so narrow that I couldn't get a high load out without lowering it first. This tight ass spacing is ridiculous. Especially when ppl let stacked product overhang at the end at all. An extra 5" per aisle would reduce so much grief for newbies (even if reduced storage space were a consequence).
Your pallets stick out about 4" so your measurement there should be 0". Have fun repairing all the rack damage not to mention the huge loss of product lol
As your turning keep getting closer to the shelf always remember the lower parts of your forklift not to hit the shelf remember the function of your forklift gotta do it with out looking at them hit the button to extend or lower or pull back just by memory some functions move left to right that is if you're not positioned correctly move the fork to pull out the pallets or whatever your working with takes wasabi
9 feet? damn I could swim in that space. the aisles in my store are super tight. home depot lift drivers are usually terrible, we can't afford to be terrible with how tight our aisles are. it takes the new guys 30 minutes to drop a pallet.
I've seen other warehouses use a dockstacker stow away pallets on rackings. Narrow reach should really be the only stand up reach to be used on rackings
At the place I was at all the aisles were too narrow to put the machine perpendicular to the rack. Start parallel to the pallet, turn, pivoting off the front wheels. As you're turning to face the rack your forks are entering the pallet. Once in position, extend the forks all the way in.
@@ElectronicsForFun For more room to turn out when backing up so you don't hit the rack behind you. As you can see, in the video, the driver does not have enough room.
It is tight -but so are most. Your fork also has a wide stance (the front legs are further apart than my Raymond. ps your driver is probably not a regular driver
@Boltrix now that i look back at this vid sober lol i see these guys have skill. Thats the most narrow aisle to work with. Props to these guys and im sorry for judging them.
Manufacturers actually tout the use of this vehicles in these types of situations. If the truth be told you should be using a swing reach or even a Drexel.
You made that harder than it has to be. I hate driving the reach truck at work but if you lined your forks up with the pallet height while still they're not facing the pallet, go about halfway distance of the pallet, start turning into it and you'd be able to clear the other shelf without being 4 inches to it. It just takes adjusting and using your side shift. We put our crown reach in tighter aisles than this.
We work in tighter spaces than that at my job. We raise the forks to height and pivot 90 degrees into the pallet making adjustments as we are turning. Yall have it way too easy.
To everyone saying rookie. You can go faster? Sick bud you're a professional making $25 an hour maybe 🤣 just like the guy going slow as fuck. Idk about anyone else but the company i work for i aint being a hero i take my time.
That driver sucks bad lol. The way you do it is have your forks low enough so when your turning in to get the pallet you need you can just put it in. Not turn and be all lined up then back up and lower your forks. Lmfao rookies
Couldn't agree more. He could've buried those forks 10 inches in as he was making the turn, giving him 10 inches of clearance on his backside. They don't call it the narrow aisle reach for nothing.
Even an amateur home depot reach truck driver like myself knows better. Only time I dont turn into a pallet is when I offload flatbeds with a sit down propane. I've actually gotten a lot better on the reach than I did before. I was going to get a video the other night of me flying a pallet but got caught up and just flew it lol.
I don't know why you're making a joke out of it, you said it yourself he's a rookie of course he's not gonna have everything mastered everybody has to start somewhere and when you first started you were probably just like him. I know I'm a year late but I just had to say that
I worked in tight aisles but never like that. Thats absolutely unnecessary. A waste of time and maneuverability and not to mention dangerous. Its better geting double deep racks with 9 feet apart that looks like 6 feet to be honest.
Man what a rookie. I would raise forks straight and turn right into pallet no spot and from j level! Picking a 2500 lbs engine rebuild kit no hesitation
If you werent a rookie then you would know thats very unsafe, what would you do if you have to pick up a pallet thats 15-20 feet up? Ur center of gravity would be way off, and ur dumb ass would tip the forklift, ROOKIE!
I assume these guys are contractor workers, but hard hat will not save this dumb pedestrian if driver lose control (and how he holds steering wheel - he will lose it eventually).
also just noticed. that skid/pallet is sticking out about 2 inchs from the rack. so u have 6 inchs. seriously. if u cant drive a NARROW AISLE RIDER then maybe u should find a new job. js
Narrow? You just squared up "textbook style" to a rack position with the forks completely outside the rack. If that is remotely possible, you are lucky.
I've worked in even smaller isles where you have to turn into the pallet then side shift. Far from impossible, that isle is easy as fuck in and out in less then 10 seconds.
bradytube exact same here, narrower aisles that require you to go in the pallets with the forks at an angle, then side shift a bit. I ha Not sure what Collin means unless he's just used to having extremely wide aisles that leaves you enough space to have your forklift in the aisle sideways with space to adjust your placement.
Funny all the criticism about how slow the driver is, when this whole procedure is about checking aisle width and maneuverability (probably setting up a new warehouse) The driver is probably not even a forklift operator but merely standing in for the testing.Even if he is a certified driver it is not about speed but analysis of aisle width and what will work best.
Alrighty let's look in the comments for all Ultra Pro forklift operators that could have done this in 0.2 seconds in an aisle half this size
Ever seen a warehouse open and close within the same month
Is it this one?
Some weak racks. One mistake sends the whole warehouse to the floor
StarRazor i work at rite aid, we have these racks. (At least they look the same). They’re pretty rough. Rite aid doesn’t care about safety, people hit them all the time and they’ve never collapsed
That's exactly what I think
If they are properly anchored, they'll be fine

You can easily get that skid out without fuckin anything up
If u turn and put your forks inside the pallet while finishing the turn, this can ABSOLUTELY be done in 30 seconds or less. I do it everyday at work😂
my question is why? unless those items don't move very fast what you're trying to save space wise you're going to lose in efficiency...look how long it took that driver to get himself positioned correctly. if the company is going to stick with that slotting plan I would suggest using a turret truck instead

Where I work, in some of the aisles you can hit the shelf behind you and still have 6" of the forks in the pallet
My dude grabbing the steering wheel like a dj.
Ngl I do the same, its quicker n smoother
Then backup further, the back rack is your friend in those circumstances 😅
Finally a video with going inside the aisle with a Reach forklift

2 hours later!

The floor pallets should be resting on an orange cross beam high enough off the ground to allow the out riggers to get under them.
why do the outriggers need to get underneath? it would be helpful but it's not a necessity. that's why the forks extend out.
@@ElectronicsForFun For more room to turn out when backing up so you don't hit the rack behind you. As you can see, in the video, the driver does not have enough room.
I wish the aisles in my warehouse were this wide, we have to use a turret to grab pallets or a cherry picker to manually pull orders
Gostei muito do vídeo, parabéns!
9 foot? Jesus ours are 10 foot apart though that was narrow for standup I am still improving lol
If your going to use a Raymond in that narrow of aisle, use a wire guided turret model.
I have an interview for this position. came to see what it's like
Hey how did it go
OP aisle. takes more time to maneuver then to space your racks.
Try it with a pacer it's really fun
See at my job you would be hitting the front pallet they have to get there forks in while there mid turn
The challenge is going to be removing the pallet off the rack while reversing out
You raise it above the boxes that are to the left and back out to the right
@@sirloock8360 Not enough clearance for that.
Rookies
Is this an Austin Powers Scene!????
lmfao xD
Jeez better pay 18 for that much stress 😂😂😂
It is tight -but so are most. Your fork also has a wide stance (the front legs are further apart than my Raymond. ps your driver is probably not a regular driver
That’s crazy
I think your warehouse and small aisle is going to using for turret reach alike called Raymond or crown.
You ever lift and turn?
@Boltrix now that i look back at this vid sober lol i see these guys have skill. Thats the most narrow aisle to work with. Props to these guys and im sorry for judging them.
Five years later....fuck it just set the aisles 11ft apart
That takes up time daily man what the hells going on
Everyone in the comments acting like their forklift licence is a PhD
wow it can be done but as u go higher its harder close it down
You want me to... go in 😳
If you can do a 360° turn with out hitting the rack with the dam Stan up forklift then is a wrap.
Edgar Martinez it’s impossible to do a 360 turn here.
Better use Flexi or aisle master forklift

The aisle is way too tight, you need aisle of 10 ft width, this tigh aisle will slow down you operations, and is not safe
He can't drive that thing very good
Whoever designed this didn't know what the fuck they were doing..... And that's WAY too many empty spaces for a warehouse of that size
My operator
There was loads of room, with mine I get an inch either side!
I was just recommended this again, and though, geez, loads of room 😂
We don't need hard hats!
Idk why they make aisles small
Get a Bendi or Aisle Master 👌forklift
We work in tighter spaces than that at my job. We raise the forks to height and pivot 90 degrees into the pallet making adjustments as we are turning. Yall have it way too easy.
Thats a big isle
You don't turn with raised forks..
Qf3
This is a FNG
Go in with lowered tynes ya knobs....
safety violation all day
+Aundre Can you name the violation?

It's not but it should be that's ridiculous
@@MrBarrio123 I work in aisles smaller than that.
@@ElectronicsForFun Lying ass nigga!
I drove a stand up an go pallets in an out of racks in tighter spaces you’ll want the Grand Canyon of space to get in an out
Wow only 9 feet between aisles? way too narrow. should be at least 12 feet
Try a VNA
To everyone saying rookie. You can go faster? Sick bud you're a professional making $25 an hour maybe 🤣 just like the guy going slow as fuck. Idk about anyone else but the company i work for i aint being a hero i take my time.
They should have supports on the bottom to elevate floor loads so they can swoop In and adjust.
So a stand up forklift is just a reach truck?
Man's on a reach it's designed for tight lanes
Not much margin for error
Big Boi plenty of margin for error.
U could empty the rack by the end of the video BUD...
I drive these reach trucks all day , this was painful to watch , he makes it look so hard
IT is hard to drive your first 2 weeks after that it is really easy... it seems this guy is still on training

fuck a reach bring in the bendi and aisle master
The forklift is the wrong color. A tan forklift would have that pallet down in a few seconds. Lesson #1 don't use Raymond.
Dan C in the warehouse I work we we have our Raymond and a newer Crown. I take the beat up ass crowns any day. Just better quality
Raymond is better
if it takes you that long to get a pallet down, your not gonna get any work done

Why have you got jack shit in your warehouse?👀
(Genuine question)
I do this for a living and If you told me I had to drive a SUF in that aisle I would laugh at you. This company needs a VERY NARROW AISLE machine.
Man a warehouse with narrow racks is very unproductive. I think u are paying more wages than profit. 1 pallet every 5 min...

Don't think that 9ft
That’s not bad!! If you know how to drive it you’ll be ok!!
well apart from the fact he does it ridiculously slow, it seems like a safe working environment and practice.
Skodz Gaming except that he operates the equipment with coworkers within the 10ft vicinity, or whatever their company's policy allows.
Unless you like to practice destroying racks and pallets thats totally bot safe the barrowest asile is 7 or else get a turret truck
