I have driven these for 8 years without a major accident of any kind. I have been hit by others that failed to yield/ hear my horn, however no injury whatsoever thankfully. After a while you just get really familiar with them and it's like another extension of your body.
Justin Ferguson seen someone drive one of these for 10years and he was cocky crash with a rack , experience is a factor but also the experience can have accidents
I've been driving such equipment for over 10 years and NEVER hit anything, caused any damage to anything (other than a pallet, still not the product just the pallet), and was never hit by anyone either.
We use those crown walkie riders at my job and im not officially trained but can easily operate these in a safe manner even when i use the speed boost. They're the only thing that keeps me coming in to work hoping to get a chance to ride one i just enjoy it.
As a person who operates an electric pallet Jack at a grocery store pretty often. I can confirm that crashing one can cause some serious damage, they are pretty much mini trucks/fork lifts.
A few years ago I crashed a pallet jack into a pallet of milk crates and caused hundreds of dollars in shrink. Everyone at my store still remembers and they continue to call it, Jared’s great gallon smash
@@pandaberserk3390everyone should be aware of their surroundings and always make eye contact, driver and pedestrian. Mostly common sense. But one dumb move can mess things up, either way.
The first time I drove one of those, I took out the corner of a pallet, AND THE PALLET WAS STILL STANDING :0 It looked like when you yank out the tablecloth while there's still stuff on the table
I been driving those things for years now. Not one accident. Respect the machine as well as yourself as a pro. Even a young kid can drive like a boss. With the right mindset as well as skill set maaaaan…..
Love how he trashes the conveyer belt, walks away and an employee then goes to work it and could have potentially caused another accident, because he left his truck smashed into it. Idiot!
Yo those things are so hard too drive..the asshole hiring trainer only let us practice for 5 minutes and do a figure 8 around cones, no help after, even if you wanted it or asked..bullshit. those things should be driven with a steering wheel and in the opposite direction. Turning is the biggest danger, along with the throttle...
exactly , turning with the throttle and trying to make a very sharp turn os alot of multitasking and one tiny jerk of the wrist will cause it too accelerate mid-turn.
I have hit pallets....I'm always cautious around people especially.....pallets can be replaced a body part cannot slow down and be aware at all times on a heavy piece of equipment not only can you hurt your self but everyone around you also !!
Forklifting is a hate and love situation.Good pay and sit all day.But at the same time constant stress cuz of the safety of others and other fellow forklifters
I've been driving such equipment for over 10 years and NEVER hit anything, caused any damage to anything (other than a pallet, still not the product just the pallet), and was never hit by anyone either.
Mines not even a ride on, and I still Segway myself around the warehouse, in reverse. One wrong move, all the slabs of marble and granite we have stored will kill us all lol
As an operator and trainer for 20+ years.. what is disappointing is how everyone brushed it off and back to work. No near miss investigation? No root cause analysis? No care for employee safety.
I had coworker lose 4 toes because he wasn't paying attention and had his foot hanging down and it got caught between two electric pallet jacks colliding end to end.
I've lost track of how many times I've wrecked one of those as well as have watched others wreck them; they are easy to lose control of--it happens all the time.
@@jamesebarker226 yeah you can spin out on a turn in a car if you can’t handle it, it’s not like it’s a hobby or a skill but come on if you can’t make a turn or anticipate it you deserve to be cheese grated on a line of pallets
He definitely overthought it… Ive done it I remember a few times where I’m day dreaming got turned around and forgot which direction to hit the throttle in because there is no brake on those only momentum… just come to a complete to stop and give it a little push or pull you should be ok
Why would he run away like that? It wasn't even a big crash. Nobody probably would have cared much, just rolled their eyes at him. Also lol at the woman scratching her head at 1:27 She is thinking "Wtf just happened?"
I understand his situation... Should've been avoided though due to how much time he had to correct... If you ever feel like you're uncomfortable on a "EPJ",,, just jump off and it'll stop itself... You may fall but that's better than breaking a bone or hurting someone else!!! ✊🏾👨🏾⚖️🗿
Although I do prefer Raymond double walkers I will use crown single walkers for loading, and every time I forget they for what ever reason when you lift the control arm they will cost for a rather long time unlike the Raymond which is equipped with an emergency brake when the control arm is raised or lowered.
Jungheinrichs have both the tiller brake and two E-stops (one on the ROPPT and one anti-press-up on the tiller handle). However, the tiller brake on the Jungheinrich can be rather annoying when driving in reverse, as it has a tendency to erroneously activate when you've got the tiller in a certain position. I've had a few instances where my ROPPT would 'bunny hop' and stall like a manual car, even when I have the tiller in the correct position.
watching this because i just got my training to use one of these at my work. man he was going way too fast, even i know that. these shits are real fun to use though!
Some are designed to be ridden on as well. At my workplace, all our PPTs (as we call them here in the UK) are ride-ons, and have retractable platforms that turn them into walkers. You have to take care with them or they'll become warehouse destroying machines.

100% you knew how to drive that better than a car because your on it 8 10 hours a day

he has to do more damage if he wants to make it to warehouse fails
The walk of shame to report the incident, priceless 🤣😂.
Tbh looks like he walked into a trailer lol
Something tells me he did not report the incident 😂
@@SpinachMinichsomething tells me it was made known.🤣
Nah He said "lunch time"
More like I'm going to hide in the trailer for a bit and hope no one saw it.

same with the propane forklift i drive
They are lovely litrle machines :)
they fun to ride when you get good at it
I'm surprised the "belly button" countermeasure or anti collide button at the edge of the handle didn't work
I drive the long ways still easy once ur fears goes away pretty much can go 13 15 mph on those things with 10 acceleration lol try it out

@@DarthCookieKS Oh man. 🤣 Glad you are ok though.
they can haul 3000 lbs easy thats a car people dont realize that when they walk in front of on expecting it to stop on a dime.
@@pandaberserk3390 Yeah. When I use to operate one that is what made me so mad.

Drive any lift truck long enough, you will hit something. Some people are more fortunate than others.
The first time I drove one of those, I took out the corner of a pallet, AND THE PALLET WAS STILL STANDING :0

Rubbish. I'm an instructor and that's not necessarily true. Complacency and stupidity may make you hit things.
@@robbielawson4828 the longer you're on it the more comfortable you get and humans make mistakes it's normal as long as it doesn't happen often
@@98NinjAOrANge I agree but it's not inevitable. The word you're looking for is complacency.
@@agentbullwinkle991 😂
He just walks out like "aight I'm going home " 😂

WHAAMMM!
Anyone and everyone who operates a fork truck, electric pallet jack, etc will hit something. It's called experience and confidence
It's called "COMPLACENCY" and "IGNORANCE".
He's a convict. Who tf leaves like that. He's fled a crime scene for sure
…Jesus fucking Christ.
The only part of my job I love . I be cruising through the warehouse lol
Love how he trashes the conveyer belt, walks away and an employee then goes to work it and could have potentially caused another accident, because he left his truck smashed into it. Idiot!
He was on rabbit mode the whole travel like an idiot
yep and driving like a maniac . deserved to get fired
goes right back to work hedindonuddin

That's messed up! Runs it into the conveyor and walks off luckily without any injury. Of course, he plays it off since no one "saw" him.
Slow the eff down, dude. Sheesh.
Forklifting is a hate and love situation.Good pay and sit all day.But at the same time constant stress cuz of the safety of others and other fellow forklifters
but this isnt a forklift
I hate the EPJ with a passion
Where was this footage taken and what company is it?
I've been driving such equipment for over 10 years and NEVER hit anything, caused any damage to anything (other than a pallet, still not the product just the pallet), and was never hit by anyone either.
Looks like he tried to plug but stopped before it fully slowed I’m real quick to hit that E break at work 😂💀
Put it in reverse terry
Craig...You Fired!!!
Mines not even a ride on, and I still Segway myself around the warehouse, in reverse. One wrong move, all the slabs of marble and granite we have stored will kill us all lol
Strolling back in like he just came to work
OMG THIS IS INCREDIBLE! HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE KILLED? HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO REBUILD??
I suggest that he slow down...traveling at that speed he could do a lot of damage to someone...
As an operator and trainer for 20+ years.. what is disappointing is how everyone brushed it off and back to work. No near miss investigation? No root cause analysis? No care for employee safety.
In the UK, we are very strict with NMIs and accident investigations. After all, we practically invented H&S culture.
He was like cruising then bam. Walks away like it's cool still cruising mood.
There's always that one guy that rides like a pro but ain't
The breaks are worn out or the spring that makes the handle return to the top.
He never tried the emergency brake
Should be deducted an hours pay for leaving the scene of the incident.
Dude hops back on as if he hasn't just shown everyone how reckless he is.
Sometimes the machines be messed up too g
Why was he even operating the ROPPT empty in reverse without slowing down to anticipate the hazard? That's careless usage of an ROPPT
I had coworker lose 4 toes because he wasn't paying attention and had his foot hanging down and it got caught between two electric pallet jacks colliding end to end.
This is why you can't ride on the motor pallet jacks at my job anymore.
I've lost track of how many times I've wrecked one of those as well as have watched others wreck them; they are easy to lose control of--it happens all the time.
they will throw you off easily by going too fast in a turn

I drive these at my job & he did everything in this video totally wrong. He could have really hit somebody
He did that shift on purpose lol 😂
Drug test then he walks away like that he hot
Over thought how to brake. You can tell how he stopped for a second but still went forward.
He definitely overthought it… Ive done it I remember a few times where I’m day dreaming got turned around and forgot which direction to hit the throttle in because there is no brake on those only momentum… just come to a complete to stop and give it a little push or pull you should be ok
Could've been a lot worse. He got lucky. I hope he's more careful now
It wasn't me!
Why would he run away like that? It wasn't even a big crash. Nobody probably would have cared much, just rolled their eyes at him.
Also lol at the woman scratching her head at 1:27 She is thinking "Wtf just happened?"
Sony flat screen TVs
Absolute rookie move.
It happens... Luckily no one was hurt, and the damage could have been a lot worse.
"It happens" only if one is ignorant and careless, as he obviously was.🤪
I understand his situation... Should've been avoided though due to how much time he had to correct...
If you ever feel like you're uncomfortable on a "EPJ",,, just jump off and it'll stop itself...
You may fall but that's better than breaking a bone or hurting someone else!!! ✊🏾👨🏾⚖️🗿
First of all going too fast in crowded areas is not advisable because stuff like this happens
That’s a pe test 😂
some time it lost power from battery . made it lost control no brake .
Although I do prefer Raymond double walkers I will use crown single walkers for loading, and every time I forget they for what ever reason when you lift the control arm they will cost for a rather long time unlike the Raymond which is equipped with an emergency brake when the control arm is raised or lowered.
Crown the best
@@joemama38we got Crowns at my work. I will hopefully be starting on both the stand up and truck within the next week if I got that job bid! 🙏

I got my foot crushed by 2 pallet jacks
I have been driving a crown stand up lift for 5 years and have never had a accident
Any expert advice would be greatly appreciated as I may be starting training within a week if I got that job bid at my work!
@@Hothenrik take your time and take it slow and your speed will come to you when you build up confidence
Seems like he hit a sleek spot he lifted up the hanfle wich should of stopped him tachnically
It's working zone. Not in Bomb bomb Car zone.
Dont seem like anyone cared ? Should of been turned in and report should of been done!
Clown drug test him
It is a walker, not a fork truck to be ridden on

He bend the conveyer. If there was a person there they would have broke some bones forsure
At my work, one would have to do a piss test for drugs! 🥴 (And that is IF not FIRED!!)
He crashed he crashed😮
CBM. Conveyor Belts Matter.
DOOOOO FUSSSSSS!!!
Let it go fella
Rabit maybe
Shit Happens
and he gets to get back on? where was the supervisor? that is a automatic re training
Or SUSPENSION!
😂😂
He ned to be fired what he did. He didn't report that.
Beschissenes Video....wtf
drug test needed
Booooooooo
