Forklift Too Heavy

[Kaprice24]

Yeah id have to change my underware after that.

[ELY3M]

this video remind me of this kid at my old work who break floors on trailers with forklift. lucky, he never went thru the floor.

[ELY3M]

you don't unload or load trailers with shitty floors... at my old work.. I would use pallet jack instead of forklift to unload/load trailers with shitty floors.

[Jackdg1984]

I love how the guy filming is so nonchalant about the hole thing. Like yep just another day at walmart.

[fls360]

Beep Beep Beep...... CRUNCH.......Beep Beep Beep.......Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeep! This concludes testing of the emergency broadcast system.

[shortdog4927]

must 've been the operator few too many hamburguers on his diet

cause most of the trailers can handle the weight.

[BIGW0RD]

Wheres the pancake mix?????

[Statimtek]

Yeah Ive loaded some pretty dicey trailers, that had holes in the floor.This was my biggest fear driving into them especially when the floor starts creaking right as I passed by the holes. CF had some awful trailers.

[bigkev1115]

First of all, this is probably a 15 yr old trailer or older. It should have never been loaded in the first place. Most paper companies or any other company that hauls a heavy product will usually check manufacture date. If its over 10 yrs old, they reject it on the spot for safety's sake. Most people don t understand that over time, a trailers floor will weaken due to heavy products and forklifts rolling over the years, not to mention freight bouncing and weather

[FNcanucker]

:o wow.. I bet it was a triple crown trailer.. I hate driveing into them myself

[jtf485]

That sucks I work at pepsi loading transport and we get these carriers with shitty trailers with holes and cracks and shit like that we still go all out though bro keep em movin

[muircastle1]

i used to work at a factory making Honda parts and we used gas trucks to load trailers all the time...this was an informative video.....I certainly will not be using a truck on a trailer bed in future...thanks for the video.....you're right...the must be loaded by ppt or from the ground on soft side trailers

[Chaffie74]

at my last employer, I was part of the maintenance staff. We would get called maybe1 or 2 times a day because of an electric type getting stuck in the floor of a trailer. We'd have to keep reminding the drivers and their supervisors to check the floors before they'd start loading trailers. Most of the time it fell on deaf ears. This is the first instance I've seen a floor actually give away. I think the forklift driver is fortunate to have walked away from that.

[truckindawg1]

It was the trailer that failed . Not because the forklift was too heavy. The driver is just lucky it failed at the dock and not on the interstate with 44,000 bls of freight

[kens97sto171]

@truckindawg1

Your right it was the trailer that failed, it looks like the rivots came apart on the cross beams. But the forklift was still way up in the head of the trailer, there could only have been a couple of pallets in there, and they would have been over the 5th wheel, not in the middle of the trailer where it would be the weakest. The failure happend as the forklift backed out looks like the pallet was still on the forklift. Must have been really heavy or serious defect in the trlr.

[kevinbone08]

This what happens when you take the big horse inside a container like that, you need to use the pony for container jobs like this, people die and people get hurt when people ain't thinking straight while using a forklift

[psycopyro001]

at this point, ide cut the side of the trailer open and get another forklift... :|

[123ADRIAN987]

That's why they invented pallet jacks

[veratasangel]

this has happen to me before but i went completly threw and i ended up with a huge gash on my arm it took 234 stitches to close and 2 weeks later i was right back in the trailors doin my job its just shit happens and you get over it i still get a little nervous though after 4 years but i got to have a paycheck

[siqbrah]

more like;

trailer is too old and shitty for forklift.

[gorosujap]

did he die? 

[MrBurns970]

Sauber :D

[MrGovernment502]

i worry about this in the general electric trailer......

[KSagan88]

you're all faggots for arguing over something so insignificant. forkilft, hi-low, fork truck. ITS ONE FUCKING OBJECT. some people may call it something different so GROW UP AND FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.

[bsd300d]

forklift, lift truck, or hi low.

[LogWiz]

i think its more like that trailer was rotten than the forklift was too heavy. its a normal size forklift.

[Ochstastic]

Not the drivers fault.. Obviously an old, rotting container. I've driven 7000 pound battery operated Bendi forklifts in containers before.. They manage to hold up.

[INS1977]

shity floor :D

[howardsternbobabooey]

I SURE HOPE THAT TRAILER DOESN'T BELONG TO THE DRIVER.

HE'LL BE SUING YOUR ASS!

[howardsternbobabooey]

I SURE HOPE THAT'S NOT THE DRIVER'S TRAILER!'

HE'LL BE SUING YOUR ASS!

[cacaest1987]

That truck is a hyster space saver. They are very heavy well over 15000lbs. It has a clamp attachment about 4500lbs plus the load. And as far as I am aware forklifts have loads of names. I call them trucks.

[jasonyeozhishen]

think of the positive.  you can now exit from the side ! !!

[howardsternbobabooey]

AND ALSO, WHY IS HE FUCKING SITTING IN THE NOSE OF THE TRAILER WITH THE FUCKING LIFT IN REVERSE???!!!!??? WHAT IS HE DOING?

AND W/ ALL THAT LIGHT COMING IN THE TRAILER FROM THE BOTTOM LEFT, WHAT DID U THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN? ASSHOLE!

[howardsternbobabooey]

THAT LOOKS LIKE A STANDARD FORKLIFT. IS IT TOO HEAVY?

MAYBE THE WELDS UNDERNEATH THAT TRAILER NEVER WERE INSPECTED, AND WERE ALL RUSTED.

[mattonker]

shouldn't have a fork like that in the back of a trailer...it looks like a two tonne lift capacity fork which would mean it would weigh close to five tonnes plus what your lifting up....you only ever put that kind of weight over the axles when transporting a load....these forks are designed to empty out containers when they are on the ground!! should be using a pallet truck.

[thesoulsekr]

Another reason why I hated paper loads.

[johneastmond]

Well driver; get out your accident camera, tell your company that their customers and trailers suck, unhook from your trailer, and ask for the next load, and don't forget to remind them that you'll need an MT!

[Zeamus634]

NOW THAT IS A POORLY MADE TRAILER!!!

[shalashaska91]

lol man i unload trailers just like that (minus the falling throug part) but we use the crown stand up battery ones those weight about 9600lbs with no load and i have been in trailers where my wheel has broken through but nothing like this lol

[pantherxx010]

That trailer is broken and shouldn't happen like that.

[indeemoose88]

I think when the fork truck drove in with his load the floor gave way and that is the light you see he was trying to back out slowly so he wouldn't fall threw....to bad it didn't work just be glad no one was hurt!

[19811402]

With a good built trailer this would never happen.

[Manongjojo]

That was funny LOL

[gcdcman81]

I'm no engineer or anything but seems like fatigue stress on the bolts for the cross beams. Too many trips hauling heavy loads on bumpy roads can wear down the bolts...and they finally gave here.

But on the second look...you can see light shining in from the floor where it broke. Along with bolts popping or boards cracking, yet the driver still proceeded. Probably not the wisest of actions. Could have been a lot worse.

[gohkichi0924]

リフトの重みで床が抜けた？

[NelsonStJames]

I've had to take trailers back because the floor was no good, but this just seems like the supports gave way rather than the flooring being rotten. Not really anyones fault since a pre-trip inspection might not have revealed this problem.

[skoobdaer]

this used to be my biggest fear when entering a trailer. I've seen some shabby looking ones that did not look too safe. we had to inspect the floor before loading or unloading, but you still can not tell just by eyeballing it.

[Wayneboy1982]

We have a old tailer we use for pallets, I hate driveing on it cause of holes and I thinks of this happening to me

[crazybob1389]

i work for a warehouse company, and this is one of the most dramatic flooring collapse in a trailer ive ever witnessed. on average at my company, there are anywhere from 41000-65000 pound trailers loaded and unloaded approximately 20-30 times daily. the only thing ive ever seen personally is a hole the size on the rear tire fall through, but the whole floor falling through? it must have not been the proper trailer. especially since the trailer was at 3/4 the way empty

[Wulvar]

I used to work in a tire warehouse and something like this happened to the guy who got hired with me, granted he turned into the wall of the trailer and ripped a section out rather than go through the floor. ( the idiot sped up when he felt the impact ) Sadly older trailers things like this sometimes happen, honestly I've only seen in person the one.

[richardtheone]

that trailer was obviously fatigued in the past..that trailer should be able to haul 40- 70 thousand pounds of these things..

[RayAir1]

What a mess, one time I had to load a semi trailer along time ago with a forklift. I think the lift weighed about 12,00lbs and I didn't like it one bit.

[bumsmith]

If the skid was the wrong size or too heavy for a pallet jack, they should have hooked a chain up and pulled it to the tail end.

[2009European]

The truck trailer should could handle forklift on a weight on this. This maybe stress it to much, on the entire site !

[fifh89]

it happens

[truckerparrot]

I think they were well aware of the condition of the trailer. I would love to see them off load a 6000 lb roll of paper with a pallet jack. This is a common method to unload paper. It is known as a clamp lift. Try hauling paper then come up with a better solution when you know what your talking about hazer

[Minty9167]

Did the operator check the condition of the floor before entering trailer? it might not have happened had it been checked?

[vivitar45]

old rusted out trailer my be it should not been on the road

[hazer303free]

ok, ok... lets set some things straight. first, there called "powered industrial trucks" but are commonly known as forklifts. it doesnt matter wth you call em really. second, they generally weigh in the neighborhood of 7000 lbs. lastly, they should have used a pallet jack on this type of trailer not a 7000 pound machine carrying a 2500 lb. load localizing the weight into 4 pin-points. (a.k.a. the tires) with an average surface of 8"x3" area contacting the trailer floor per tire. not smart.

[hankschade]

This is common on Monon brand trailers.

[class1dave]

Definitely a weakness with the trailer. That size of forklift shouldn't have a problem working in the trailer. They weight about 10,000 lbs. Lucky the trailer broke here. Just think how bad an accident it would have caused had the trailer floor failed on a highway!

[dockarnage]

fork lift, fork truck. same thing fools. shut da hell up wit dat crap.

[danxenatro]

Gnipacave is absolutely right that it is the responsibility of the operator to inspect and assess the trailer. Unfortunately, if I had said to my boss that I refused to unload a trailer, I would be threatened with termination, which happened more than once. Technically you can file an OSHA grievance or whatever you would do in that situation, but truthfully, when you live paycheck to paycheck, you learn to shut up and do what the boss tells you and hope this doesn't happen to you.

[mysubsbang]

i am happy for you. and most of my fam drives truck for a living and i have been a heavy equipment operator for 8 years fork truck are the smallest things i have operated. 99 percent of all tractor trailers can handle the weight thats what they are designed to do. they wouldnt be loading the trailer otherwise. this trailer obviously had a weak spot for some reason or other. cant blame the operator for a weak spot in a trailer. bottom line.

[RamboAmbo]

"when you live paycheck to paycheck, you learn to shut up and do what the boss tells you and hope this doesn't happen to you." - You got that right.

[trikmitruk]

I was floored,he was floored,everyone was floored.

[louis2131]

wat r the chances of getting that on tape

lol funny tho

[jakemilburn]

I drive LPG and battery operated standups sometimes at my job and thats my worst fear is falling through a trailer like that.You never know the condition of the trailer floor!Hope they were alright and the employer should have paid the rest of the day off to clean out their underwear.

[TNxBlackplague]

Lol!

[gnipacave]

As a forklift operator you should know it is your responsibility to not only inspect the trailer floor but also the load plate on the trailer which tells you the max weight it can hold. If you weren't taught that your teacher failed.

[mysubsbang]

but if the trailer was loaded with a lift then the lift pulling the objects from the trailer should have no issues. therefor you shouldnt have to inspect anything. most trailers can handle a lift something must have gotten week.

[gnipacave]

I'll say it one more time.

As a forklift operator you should know it is your responsibility to not only inspect the trailer floor but also the load plate on the trailer which tells you the max weight it can hold. If you weren't taught that your teacher failed.

Pay attention to the LOAD PLATE ON THE TRAILER comment, that's what it is there for, trailers have a max load and you cannot overload that. I am a certified forklift trainer so I am pretty sure I know what I am talking about.

[mysubsbang]

i am happy for you. and most of my fam drives truck for a living and i have been a heavy equipment operator for 8 years fork truck are the smallest things i have operated. 99 percent of all tractor trailers can handle the weight thats what they are designed to do. they wouldnt be loading the trailer otherwise. this trailer obviously had a weak spot for some reason or other. cant blame the operator for a weak spot in a trailer. bottom line. as for pretty sure lol i do know what i am talking about

[gnipacave]

1) trucks arent forklifts bro. 2) the forklift operator IS to blame for NOT CHECKING the trailer BEFORE unloading his load, if he did he would have either noticed the floor was damaged or heard the floor creaking and cracking under the weight. 3) you stick to driving heavy equipment and I will stick to certifying forklift operators, k? thnx........next.

[mysubsbang]

wrong again. they are called fork trucks in the industrial field. obvoiusly you and this so called instructor realy aint who you all say you are or you would know this.

[TNxBlackplague]

They are not. They are called tractor trailers

[mysubsbang]

yeah the semi truck duh. your a moron

[TNxBlackplague]

Oh i thought your talking about the truck, but they call those forklifts. Btw you should grow up and stop fighting over a video. I can act more your age than you can and that's sad.

[mysubsbang]

oh well you got me on one thing but there fork trucks. look it up. look up yale forklifts and fork lift company calls them fork trucks. unlike the liers on here i am a profesional heavy equipment operator.

[bsd300d]

@mysubsbang you're = you are... as in you're a moron for not knowing the difference. You may want to master first grade english before you judge the mentality of others.

[mysubsbang]

@bsd300d -- i realize that you are ma its ok some people out there has issues like your self. now ill explain this one last time then ill ignore you for the rest of your existance call yale call them and ask when ordering a forklift what exactly do you call it a forklift or fork truck there catalog you order from and there sale staff call them FORK TRUCKS. your obviously inbred and that explains your ma issue and i forgive you for that but not your brother and sister for making you.

[etmaule]

@mysubsbang or you could call it a powered industrial truck

[devildriver66621]

@TNxBlackplague tractor trailer and forklift it tere real name

are you retarded ???

[mysubsbang]

you all dont know shit

[JuggaloRyda66]

@jakemilburn i agree man i bee doing it for about well since i ever started working and that is still a fear i have i have gotten stuck in a hole but never fell threw it ever hopt it dont even happen to me stay safe out there
