I was about to post the same thing. Also he should have lifted and then took the boom, (or mast) to a little back of neutral and also made sure that the space behind him was clear before doing the lift.
as a forklift operator for the last 13 years i have been in this situation before a time or two, where the under pallet due to improperly stacked product makes it impossible to take one at a time and you have to hold your mouth just right in order to accomplish the task at hand some times on two wheels alone this manuver was executed with great testicular fortitude and given the situation as safely as possibly under the given circumstances from one operator to another bravo sir
if u look at the angle of the bottom pallet the pallet boards have split... but same principal applies in this situation I suppose... dont want product all over the floor at your expense
You are on target agree 100% you even noticed he had to take down both because the improper stacking on the top pallet the top pallet wouldve snapped because of the way its stacked...
The top pallet is broke, dipshits. That's why he didn't pull it first. Fucking assholes think they're so much better than everyone else aware of the situation.
I really hate when companies don't provide the proper tools you need to do your job. I also hate unloading most containers from china. The pallets suck and every thing is jammed in there way too tight.
I had issues with these pallets from my work when they are loaded horrible like that or overloaded like that tilting them back in air would at times snap boards on the pallet cause the weight of the item to go forward instead and snap the pallet in half.
Looks like the top pallet was pushed back too far to get a good hold. These are long pallets so I'll bet the tines wouldn't go in far enough to lift it. Looks like they'ed tried and all it did was start to pull the top layer of product off the second pallet.
reading the comments you posted on these, I'm impressed with the job he did. Sometimes you gotta grin and bear what they give you, yeah? A shame that you couldn't get long forks... Was it they didn't have them or just didn't care to give them to you?
Yeah, they had a long fork truck but had it in the other yard. The pallet on top was broken and the pallets hadn't been stacked or transported carefully so they weren't balanced. He had to take it very slow...

what you do is put a 2x4 wood , and you put it in a angle from the bottom of the pallet under then one your taking down , and you use that as a slide , while putting it down and going slowly backwards , :D
If u r a professional forklift driver,u would've refused to do that as its putting ur coworkers in unnecessary danger...also if something happened,u wouldve been the one paying the price as its clear this is not how it should be,u got a responsibility as driver to make sure u work safe for urs and ur coworkers safety
@ScrapperNoHand i actually make a living as a forklift driver here in the docks in antwerp lmao...we got the highest demands worldwide yet safety allways comes first,its clear u got no idea how it works when u a professional driver and thats why ppl like u stay stuck at minimum wage while being worked like a dog...real drivers are valued and are able to make demands regarding equipment since ultimately it makes it so more work can be done in the same time,offcourse u gotta posses attleast some intelligence to see that fact😉
A set of slips (Tyne extension) would of helped if none staking the pallets so you would be able to lift from the side were the Tyne cut outs are for the tynes to go through.
Don’t disagree. Management basically told use to organise this sh*t show. Pallets would come in from site poorly strapped and poorly organised. No one cared. It was dangerous work with lack of equipment and organisation.
Another thing we found is that that pallets were overloaded and would often be broken. We then hand to climb the stakes and hand unload the plastic walkways.
Slim Thug these were stacked by hand on pallets and then the top pallet was placed on top by a Moffat forklift which has a reach function on the tynes . We couldn't get to the top pallet.
umm..Ive driven a forklift or two in my day...and what Im puzzled about is why did he feel the need to grab both?...I would've made 2 trips..one @ a time...it was a win...but it also showed the wrong way of achieving said win ..my 2 cents speaks...
@@TheosEpicVideos 3 pallets high is enough. Most times only 2. That is one scary yard. What happened to the last worker you replaced? Hospital. That 4th stack shouldn't be there. Wonder why the forklift doesn't have a push gate?
@@smokingjoe9864 Yeah. I understand. We had to pick the pallets that weren’t broken to lift the load as they were double size pallets. A lot of the double long pallets were snapped as we didn’t have the tynes to pick them up.
If he just did one pallet at a time he could've finished in half the time!
Couldn't, the top pallet was broken.
@@TheosEpicVideos absolutely, we could see that, EXCELLENT Job and patience displayed by the operator!
Jay, man, a nice phrase to enrich my vocabulary with - 'testicular fortitude'!

Good job I was supervising it from my couch.
Why would any self respecting job involving pallets not have fork extensions?
I was about to post the same thing. Also he should have lifted and then took the boom, (or mast) to a little back of neutral and also made sure that the space behind him was clear before doing the lift.
Because he's supposed to be grabbing them from the side

should of used fork extensions or at least under cut the top pallet, a lot of time wasted doing it the way he did and dangerous

A local guy was killed trying to move something like that years back, I knew him well. That guy did a good job!
good patience and care. well done!
Nice job young man! Patience Patience PATIENCE, you got it, Awesome, 😉
Product was piled terribly on the pallet didn’t help and not wrapped either
The right tool for the right job
I really hate when companies don't provide the proper tools you need to do your job. I also hate unloading most containers from china. The pallets suck and every thing is jammed in there way too tight.
Why not just tilt it back so load stays straight. Then it wouldn't take a year to drop load.
I agree
I had issues with these pallets from my work when they are loaded horrible like that or overloaded like that tilting them back in air would at times snap boards on the pallet cause the weight of the item to go forward instead and snap the pallet in half.
I 100% agree with you on that one.
Driver should have tilted the forks upwards, those forks were tilting down, not the way to do it.
Looks like the top pallet was pushed back too far to get a good hold. These are long pallets so I'll bet the tines wouldn't go in far enough to lift it. Looks like they'ed tried and all it did was start to pull the top layer of product off the second pallet.
They were 4 way pallets. If you only have short forks, should have been stocked and pulled from the side.
Man got skills
the absolute mad man.
Christmas wish list... - Fork extensions .....
okay so all that time for two stacks done one at a time at full speed

Theo's Epic Videos
gotcha. Thanks for the insight!
If he knew how to do his job right, it would be done by now. And done safely too
If the management gave them the tools to do it then would been done safely.
That's what I was saying. If it was down stacked one at a time it could have been done faster and safer.
Now put it back up there, mister showoff. 🤨
algorithm doing you justice👍
You're not wrong. Haven't made a cent off youtube in over ten years though... probably because my content is trash. 🤣

The first thing I would have said is "We obviously are going to need fork extensions."
@@riffgroove - yep. We said that to the boss.
Boss said, you’ll be right, carry on then.
Congrat!
Great job💯💯💯👍👍
Well done 🤗👌😘
Can't lift two on short forks with a long pallet.
Well that's one down ...

Insane
skills!
good job.
I would not work in that yard!
Yep... it was rough.
How can you work in such a mess?
The company wouldn't give them to us to use...
Molto bravo , non era per niente facile.
I don't understand why that took so long...
Short forks... wouldn't give us the truck with the long ones...
if I divided the loads before stacking I would have unstacked x5 the amount in half the time
Slim Thug these were stacked by hand on pallets and then the top pallet was placed on top by a Moffat forklift which has a reach function on the tynes . We couldn't get to the top pallet.
Theo's Epic Videos aaaah I see... so he is actually in a jam, making it work with what's available... there are some guys with mad skill out there
Great!
Probably 48" tines on a 72"+ pallet
Sorry about that... You were right though.
I'm pretty sure they were....
yeah i always quit on companies like that, fuck this shit
Thats not a fail... thats a win. Im thinking you just jelly.

I don't know if you read the title properly, man.
Very dangerous
press 2 to hear the ninja. lol.
Sheer luck. Taking them down one pallet a time would have been smarter.
Its a truck with a low mast so it wont go that high
@@Jeremy-ff7gv Hmm, using the proper tool for the job comes to mind. Long pallets (and a broken pallet to boot) the weight of the load. Dumb decision.
Just use fork extensions
Admire his skills but could have done one at a time
The palettes are broken
title was changed after my comment.
overloaded
realy?? dumbass!!
And that was slow🤣😂
Wtf is he doing that could have went bad lol
An accident waiting to happen take his licence from him
Wtf did he say at 1:51
Less uneventful than I thought it would be..
NO SABE ESTIVAR 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Amazing what people will do to avoid a little work.
Boa viagem
Not to point out the blatantly obvious, but you need longer forks.
They may be long. Slip ons. Those stacks are dangerously high. I wouldn't work in that yard. Someone is going to get it.
Yeah the truck drivers would leave site and dump this stuff at some ungodly hour and then we would have to deal with the aftermath in the morning.

Might be difficult. Was 2012 when I uploaded this video.
