Re: Is This A "Contractor Talk" Member?
I'd like to see those fork lift guys really take it to the next level and have the second forklift have a set of scaffolding on its forks and on top of the scaffolding have a guy standing on top of a 12 foot step ladder and on top of the guy on the step ladder have a midgit screwing in the light bulb!
Amateurs! |

Re: Is This A "Contractor Talk" Member?
I suppose it never occured to them to just use the big forklift to raise the unit up
 ...they DO know those forks are adjustable......right?

Load bearing glass
I kind of doubt you could hold that much weight with just that twine. Or be stupid enough to put that much on there.

Re: Is This A "Contractor Talk" Member?
The car picture has been around a few times. It is said that it was taken by a manager at the big box who sold the stuff...or someone that was at the IHOP...or something. ANYWAY, point being, it's claimed by many to be real.

Re: Is This A "Contractor Talk" Member?
Back in 1980 When I moved up to Prior LAke Minnesota for work, My boss sent me to get a a whole pallet of landscaping timbers with his 1977 buick century. The lumber yard used a fork lift to place it on the roof, we fastened it down with tie straps and ropes. Luckly I only had to drive 3 miles to the job site. (blew the shocks right out!)
Wish I had a pic of that! It drove like a tank too! It really messup that car. Boy I am glad I don't work for people like that now. |
