Re: What Happens With A Rookie Forklift Driver


A friend of mine used to drive a forklift at a concrete burial vault company. He carried buckets of "mortar" on the "forks". One day while empty, and with the forks about three feet off the ground, he whipped around a corner and stuck the forks through the main power panel of the entire operation. Main breaker had a lever so mere mortals could move it: 1,000 amps at 488V (?) triple phase. Ruined the forks, too. What a dumb Mortar Forker!

Re: What Happens With A Rookie Forklift Driver


At the job my forklift broke down so we burrowed I think it was the steel crew's and they had a rookie driver and he was liftin block on to the 3rd floor and hit the froks down lever and a little bit under a cube came crashing down. All most killed one of my guys, he is lucky we didnt bury him in the foundation lol
