People gotta understand yes it's an 8000 lb plus machine sure it can lift a lot but when your weight is so high in air you can't pick up as much... use common sense and know your equipment.
I agree. check the load capacity of the forklift first and the weight of your load. Just to be sure it's safe. There is a plaquet on the forklift with all the numbers about loading capacitiy. I would lift the load a bit and drive the truck backwards under the load. It's much safer. Keep the load always as close as possible to your forklift while lifting.
Forklikft capacity is often stated as a weight, but it is actually a torque or moment. The convention would be something like 4,000 pounds at 2 feet from face of forks. If the center of mass of the load is 4 feet out, that goes to 2000 pounds. If you're lifting a standard 4 foot long pallet, your 4000 pound lift will handle a 4000 pound pallet. When you start handling stuff that's longer than that, or for some reason you have to lift it farther out, you have to take that into account. If you're close to maximum capacity, tilting forward is a bad idea.
Holy shit it's like a safety video on all the things not to do all in one clip.
Jeeze mate, put the tank on a pallet. A forklift is not a crane for obvious reasons.
if you must, then use both forklifts, one either side of the load, pick it up and then reverse the vehicle under it.
*OSHA wants to know your location*
Shit Barry how we gunna get it off at 🏠home

Yep too high too heavy and fully tilt forward. glad nobody get hurt in the (prosess)
That fork looks no bigger than a 2.5t one
No way in hell its a 8000pounds fork.
Thats about 3.7t ish.
It look like they have on extension forks on it.then the chain is way pass the balance point
where's tilt-in procedure before loading?
Good job guys.
Lol
Happens to the best of us!
No,the worst.
lol hahahah barry thats so funny
What the hell??these guys surely not well trained..reckless
That's Australians for you!!
This guy's don't know how to drive a forklift they would flunk the forklift operator exam to operate a forklift
Is there an un- obvious reason that the picking lines are so long and out near the end of the forks and the boom is tilted forward?

LUCY YOU GOT SOME SPLANEN TO DO. 0 RICKY😣😣😣

Should have just drove the truck under the tank once lifted instead or driving the forklift with the tank to the truck.
i wouldn't have thought of that, genuinely.... gg
fuck that.
this is the most stupid "stunt" I have ever seen.
Its flattened the back tyre....30 min crashed killed some one on the motor way. All idiots!!!
Just lift up sit still and move the truck under
Lol
they need bigger forklifts
No, just operators with brains !
Idiot messing the machine😉
