this was a fun video =) I'm from Sweden, mostly driving a 30meters 360 telehandler (Manitou 30.50), extremely different jobs one get, doing the work of a small telehandler, put 20 pallets in the right position, then put the machine in place, outriggers out and do the work a mobile crane cant reach pending on the situation, sometimes you have to wait on site a couple of hours, sometimes you are already worked a couple of hours in the morning before rest of site is comming in at 07 and is still there lifting when most go home, its a good job =)
Did he say 7:35 start machine, warm it up but don't start till 8am.. First of all nothing in the video about pre inspection of said plant. Just start it up, fuck off for a cuppa, plant left running.? Straight away hse are on your ass. No pre checks, plant left running, none attended.. Let's carry on watching the rest of the video.
So a small business is more relaxed? I work for a mechanical contractor around 300 employees and safety is job number one at all times. Gloves, hard hat, glasses no matter what.
@@chrisdelibera3445 It depends on the site. I was a site manager in the chemical process industry and worked all over the country. Basic PPE is steel toe boots and hiviz because there are invariably vehicles even inside factories. Other stuff depends on the environment. Anywhere there is the risk of falling objects then it's a hard hat. Percussive hand tools or any power tools and I would insist on glasses. Some places required gloves but usually they're optional. Certain circumstances would require a full NBC suit and external air supply. I tended to be very relaxed about safety telling the guys about specific hazards but otherwise telling them to think about what they were doing. The worst injury on any of my sites was a paper cut.
Because we work closely with managers and are responsible for every trade on site getting their materials and keeping on job. Also we are expected to know what materials the site needs and keep managers updated
@@bigsam5171 can I ask how you got into the job? I'm getting qualified over the next few months but have no site experience, what can I do to help myself? cheers
Looks like a good life! I started slinging in December, ended up here wondering what my next step is, probably will stick within CPCS, but it's so vast

I've been a forklift operator for 3 years and my license is about to expire in a few weeks. I want operate a different heavy machine as I'm someone who doesn't like to be held down to one certain job. With the skills I gather from operating a forklift, would this machine would be best for me? P.s I'm someone who wants to climb up career path and learn how to operate different machinery.
Operated and certified in both industrial warehouse forklifts and rough terrain forklifts for over 16 years of a 22 year masonry laborer career in Chicago. The main difference that does NOT translate from warehouse (vertical lift, multi-stage mast) forklifts to Gradell’s, Pettibone’s, JGL’s, Lull’s and other telescoping boom lifts is understanding how the center of gravity of your combined machine and load (ML) changes over the course of a “pick”. Especially Lulls which have “transfers” (think of the base of your boom on a length of railroad track about 8 feet long. There are lots of ways of changing your CG: utilizing your machine’s points of articulation, stabilizers, counter weights, liquid-filled tires that weigh about 1300-1500 lbs a piece, etc. Get a job with the brickies. Get in building scaffold, tending the brickies, whatever. Then watch the operator operate. Don’t be a pest, but offer a coffee or smoke before work for a Q and A. Learn how signals work. I actually like teaching young bucks that are new behind the wheel, throttle-control first, and then to follow my instructions. I’ll be at the landing area and I’ll signal them in. Nothing major, repeat, nothing major. No more than a fifteen foot boom extention at a moderate angle. For me, it’s like I’m air traffic control radioing in landing instructions to a passenger flying the plane. Anyway, hope that makes sense. Work hard, get in a healthy relationship with pain, and Good Luck.
Yes it would be good for you if you got experience operating a counterbalance forklift already. I am a ground worker but want to get off of the ground now that I’m 36 and have had metal plates in both my ankles, so I’m doing my NPORS Telehandler in 2 weeks time. I’ve used one of the machines on a job over the last 2 weeks and got the hang of it pretty easy although I still have a lot to learn.
Was it the NPORS test you done? If so how was it? I’ve used a Telehandler for the last 2 weeks and got on with it pretty easy although I still have a lot to learn etc. I’ve got my test booked in 2 weeks time
Always amazed by drivers who dont wear a hard hat but will drive with a hood on.I take it they dont need to go backwards at any point in the day and if your head is cold wear the hard hat saves looking for it when you get out of the machine.
Good (shit ) video mate😪.Are you on the books with that job or self employed? I have npors telehandler ticket and am looking at options for jobs right now it looks good to be fair.👍
I've applied for a couple and haven't heard anything back i have 15 years experience on telehandlers in highway maintenance but never on a building site so i think thats slightly against me but I'll keep trying.Good luck.
@@ryanh3285 hmm are you worried about not getting a job on sites? I'm a reach/counterbalance driver currently, its heavy lifting but like you - no site experience....
1min 20 into video. On about his opt? Guy picking up stuff in front of telehandler, boom in the air, guy working close to boom, no operator inside the machine while boom is in the air. Lol. Next
What trade would you like to see next? 👀
360 excavator
Lasher.
I got it a lot easier than that mate
Tree surgeon
Loading shovel operator
This is very, very different to my experience as a forks. Smoking ganja flat out certainly stopped me from going on the rampage on a daily basis.

I can’t help but notice that not a lot of people don’t wear PPE in the videos. Is safety more relaxed over there?
If ye work for a grafter with his/her own business they can sometimes be relaxed about it. Site managers too, they tend to stick to PPE
So a small business is more relaxed? I work for a mechanical contractor around 300 employees and safety is job number one at all times. Gloves, hard hat, glasses no matter what.

Don’t need to wear ppe when in the cab
@@chrisdelibera3445 guess you dont know what a small company is then
Every telehandler ive met on site think they are the site manager!😂😂😂
That's because we have to think for all the other trades an we can only tolerate so much stupid 🤣😂🤣
Cant argue with that!😃
If you wanna know something... Ask the tele driver.

People think running a FORK or a TELEHANDLER is easy. It takes skills to move things - lift things - haul things..
you're making it sound skilled
It does take skill. I’ve seen some shocking drivers. Fortunately for me, I make it look easy
Still easy tho

Hi can you show me how to take scafholding with a strap thought tight spaces.
What is the meaning of A17 to a telehandler,is it just the coarse refrence?

I mean I'm no forklift operator but it's almost the same thing , only thing is that telehandler has to extend like 40 - 50 ft

Lifting joists aka roof trusses. Stick to the shitter mate.. You make decent telehandlers look bad. No doubt your agency only...
This a decent job worth training for?
The wage gone up at the moment aswell agencies paying upto £22 per hour, railways paying telehandler drivers anywhere upto £35 per hour
Yeah if you like a lot of stress and pressure to keep everyone happy and not kill anyone. Piece of cake.
Always amazed by drivers who dont wear a hard hat but will drive with a hood on.I take it they dont need to go backwards at any point in the day and if your head is cold wear the hard hat saves looking for it when you get out of the machine.
Funny looking joists
not joists...those are roof trusses
156 min in holding things up for scaffolders. Clearly no loading bay. Is the area buttined off? Banks man? Singed a method. Lol paper work for that?
Good (shit ) video mate😪.Are you on the books with that job or self employed? I have npors telehandler ticket and am looking at options for jobs right now it looks good to be fair.👍
how are you getting on mate? got my training booked up, looking to get a job shortly after. any advice is welcome !
