Forklift FAIL 2 (accident )

[LikkitySpliff]

yeah the old guy who works with me had to fix the same door like 5 times, LOL... as for AceTwoMaxm fuck that shit, if you back up into a door, its because you werent paying attention and didnt make sure it was opened high enough. I can tell its happened to you because youre blaming it on your supervisor.. nah son, its your fault... no question about it

[ninendowii2000]

well then noobshreds that name suits you right because besides stupidity i dont see how you can manage to hit a top of the thing if you knew to have the fork down as far as possible while operating it

[AceTwoMax]

sometimes it's not the forklift operator fault

it's down to the one that open up the warehouse I.E The team leader or manager

never leave the shatter half open or this will happen.

happen in my warehouse about 6 times.... sadly always the team leaders, they blmae the workers for now opening the shatters.

[AaronsTube100]

I work on Shop doors like that, we get atleast one call a day for that exact reason :D

[BredasFinest]

imagine how fucked you feel when you walk inside and have to explain the boss your an idiot

[ripwtc91101]

@BredasFinest luckily in my case my boss already knows im an idiot so no explanation needed

[Bonaqua1337]

@ripwtc91101 Hi.. I just got my forklift license... but iam worried to work as one XDD The thing im worried about is.. how do u know what to take or what to load? is that said in some sort of meeting at the beginning of the day?

[SandsOfArrakis]

@Bonaqua1337 New job? They should give you a quick tour around. And if in doubt... Ask.

[santiagoorquiz]

ppl are just so lazy

[sevensixtwomm]

HAHAHA! I got told it's against H&S to half open the roller doors. They either have to be fully opened or fully closed.

[OceanicCactus]

LOL, total noob mistake. I've seen it happen to an experienced operator, and it's easy to forget, but still, it's a full on *facepalm*.

[Phaintjean]

someone's getting demoted to janitor.

[paulpm1974]

Never done that, kind of parinoid about hitting it so i check all the time :)

I expect do hit it some day though :p



[elfantastic0]

yeah, sagging manual doors get hit all the time.

[slinedawg1990]

This almost happened to me. Since then im more cautious.

[UnknownSkater678]

he still has his job?

[theoriginalJASONXYZ]

at my job we have rubber doors that just pop out, and easily pop back in if there hit.

[mackc6r]

rookie

[therancorous]

Yup, that's happened to me before. My co-workers say it's like a rite-of-passage, lol.

[streetfighterstube]

ha ha ha he tries to let up the door after he has make shit of it

proper efficient worker

[SuperPIRANHA1]

i've done that lol

[amazonhippie]

My boss did that with our bucket truck. lol.

[LLB9977]

its always the bosses, useless pricks

[unoriginalname4321]

Oops, I've done that.

[grenade252]

it happens alot. we break stuff all the time at work with those, and then laugh about it. that is actually a reach truck not forklift.

[Yangwatanabe]

those things are little, but their fail power is macro

[Minty9167]

LOL open and shut case of reduced overhead observation.

[GMCman82]

a guy did that where i work and ripped the door completely off

[defenderization]

The object that he was picking up was a small pump truck aka a donkey.

[Noobshreds]

lol ya it happened to me... And about 9 other people I worked with

[CalibanVOV]

I think that happens more often then people think.

[dmcrun442]

It actually does happen fairly often. Clearance awareness is a difficult concept for a operator that is always used to clearing things. After working 14 hours, I had an accident a year ago loading a trailer. As I entered the trailer, the impact of my lift sent a faulty trailer door rolling down. My mast caught the bottum of the door and bent it. I was so exhausted that I didnt even care what might become of my employment. Everyone understood and the carrier didnt charge us.
