Forklift on 2 wheels

[bobatporty]

overloaded thats all there is to it

[imprezatuner]

on two wheels?????? LIE

[bbuullyyjnr]

5 wheels actually

[cgd27]

how about getting a few fat yanks to sit of the back that would solve the problem

[MrBlemph]

That was funny when the guy peeled out in the truck and the guy with the camera is like, "C'mon dude."

[andymawbzee]

wow so many arse holes commenting. Lifting the load was the correct thing to do under the circumstances. No he couldnt get a bigger fork lift cause THATS ALL THEY HAD TO WORK WITH. Its called improvising. US army and British army do outstanding work with (especially the brits) shit kit. I salute you all.

[151CHAVIN]

really??? u.s army can handle a little old forklift god noes what there like when they have to go to war?? just as clumsey as this divvy... end of the day this is really unsafe was top much weight for the terain and there were people that could of got hurt or evenb killed hope they banded this idiot from touching heavy machinery ??

[kjordon1]

@151CHAVIN How comes they can drive big tanks but can't drive a forklift?



[katlenning]

Wow - responses from people who know nothing about the driver. 1st, he IS experienced with forklifts, & extremely safe - if you knew him, you'd know. 2nd, those guys were working with what little they had & following orders (even stupid ones) - it's the Army, you don't get to tell your boss that you're not doing it - they'll just tell you to get the job done. I know for a fact that was the case for this guy. Easy to sit back, judge & call him stupid when you don't have all the facts.

[AceTwoMax]

@katlenning I have the facts

It's unlikely he's experienced with forklifts when his fork where that far off the ground

also he had a load in front of him... so why is he going forward? if that Pick up truck hadn't moved when it did....

I think I call him stupid, send him to the frontline in that forklift!

he may kill the enemies and not innocents with that thing.

[garyngwind]

if lower the forks... the center of gravity will make the forklift even tilted more....raising up the load will actually shift the center of gravity and make the other 2 wheels touch down..... like I said, they had to do what they had to do with what they got.

[wantu2much]

the problem is that the forklift is too small for the job he needed a bigger one

[hasnachos]

i like how the guy peels out to put the truck in a safe place. XD

[DoriDori08]

The words cereal box and licence spring to mind!

[wtmpoppasmurf]

amateur



[RReaper100]

funiest part of this video is the dumbass dressed in camo trying to be inconspicuous but driving a bright yellow forklift.

and @garyngwind your boyfriend might be the most responsible, hard-working, nicest guy you have ever fucked , but he dont know shit about opperating a forklift

[tractortom401]

nice job but if you had a big excavator or a loader, or a bigger or same size forklift you would have an easier time.

[exonia02]

and one more thing if he never drove a forklift before then he dident do all that bad exept for the few acts like keeping the load raised and not driving reverse he dident do all that bad i think. atleast the load dident fell off :)

[exonia02]

US army or not i dont care never worked whit a forklift ok no prob use your common sense and think about it whit that load you got 0 sight of the front so drive reverse secondly your load is big lower the forks to avoid the truck from skidding onto 2 and to respond on kauwhaka yes thats true but also if you watch the vid you see that he skids on 2 weels because he was in a dip in the road he should have lowerd the forks back to driving hight when he got out of it

[Kauwhaka]

It's funny reading from the people who have never used a forklift before and blindly type out "Lower the forks!" Yes, a load is safer closer to the ground, but if it's lifting the back, raising the load up and tipping it right back changes the centre of gravity and helps the back to touch down again. -Which is much safer than rocking back and forth on 2 wheels.

[Engineer9736]

@Kauwhaka Everyone who has or hasn't driven a forklift can think of that themselves. It's just stupid to keep going if your forklift is almost tipping over. It's even much safer to keep the load 10cm above the ground and let it slide a bit when the wheels come up, instead of lifting it up 2 meters with the risk of falling very roughly forwards.

[jh4dc5s]

What a fucking relief. I thought my tax dollars were going to waste over there.

[thetreeregimovies]

I think the front tire is flat.....

[fjbutch]

Bet he was glad a camera was close by ...

[DnaAngel33]

Drive forward up the incline and lower your damn forks. lol he says come on dude when he peels out

[1973stefant]

Just let a fat guy sit on the back. It's the US Army so there has to be one around

[garyngwind]

Alright, Maybe I should actually make things more clear.

The equipment wasn't really the US Army, it belongs to the Iraqi Army, It was in an Iraqi base. The soldier in the forklift is the most responsible, hard-working, nicest guy I have ever met in my life. We were a bunch of soldiers that sent to an Iraqi base to help out their military and we have to work with what we have at that time.

[florida995]

I fully support the military, but in the field unsupervised it really does look like a bunch of little kids fucking around with their taxpayer funded toys. Not one of my employees is even close to as young as these kids and I'd probably never hire someone that young. Sorry, they just need to grow up a little more.

[robtank8385]

definately the army at its best 12 ton conex but only have a 6 ton lift

[wfdco3]

i bet that was a sketchy ride

[clarkdef]

I use to load frames at a timber yard onto trucks. There is one very dangerous trick to sitting the hoist back down. You tilt it back as far as you can, and lift it high until the weight from being tilt back is further back over the hoist. Then you carefully drive forward. I dont recommend this at all, but hey we needed to get the job done.

[Rihavens]

You also always drive with the weight uphill, retards.

[Epidemechanical]

This guy clearly has no idea how to operate a forklift. HEY MY LOAD IS HEAVIER THAN MY COUNTERWEIGHT. I KNOW, LETS RAISE IT UP AS HIGH AS IT CAN GO AND DRIVE FORWARD

[derbenesis]

american idiots!

[DarkSuccesses]

@derbenesis Americans made forklifts you ignorant cunt, You probably never even have driven one.

[gcdcman81]

Wow...A forklift driver and a pick-up truck driver being idiots in one video. Glad these guys can waste time driving crazy.

[lordtopcat]

Geez the general rule when carrying a load on a forklift is to keep it level with the height of the axle.

Wouldn't be surprised if the container was actually heavier than the counterweight.

[rocintrucker83021227]

General dumbass and Major stupidity.

[4agte93]

container way to high , 2 feet off the ground and would of had no problems

[casualstijl]

if he would just let the load down for 1 or 2 feet the truck gets balance and no problem....

[chunkyfecalbreakfast]

Nice of Beavis to show up and have a laugh at 1:21

[Josephtube666]

I'm surprized the front tires did'nd bust after all that weight and a terrian like that!!!

[dshmechanic]

Our tax dollars at work here..........

[braposo23]

lmfao makes me wanna join the service

[natecorn2007]

aint u suppost to have a crane 2 move those??

[natecorn2007]

ammmmmmmmm dum azz?

[klk1900]

drop tha damn load down shit

[attsontampa]

Dangerous game driving a forklift like that - if that turnd over he 'd have little chance to make it....

[smokum0]

wow that is a representative of our military?

yup get it close to the ground tilt back and go for it!! then let off the throttle to steer it!!

[evilunixuser1]

how can that guy see where he's going?

[lifeshort]

He's being guided by the other cocks you moron.

[RapidoGK]

Widac doswiadczenie.....

[HMKGman1]

Use....A.....Bigger....Forklif­t!

[deepthinker22]

What if you don't have one?

[odmcarp]

retards in action

[deepthinker22]

I've seen worse.

[varanassi1999]

LOWER !!!!

[jstrunck]

Scary

[Killersoul2]

you can move a container using two forklift one in ich side of the container...front and back

[mph1985man]

He had that way to high to transport. I bet that weighed over12 tons. Keep it as low as possible, inch backwards and don't raise it higher and try to turn if your steer tires are already OFF THE GROUND!!!LOL

[robby844]

they always told us to lower it as low as possible then use the throttle to keep it on the ground.simple as that

[lumpybruisychickeny1]

what about your load always going first when climbing an incline

[robby844]

you turn around and use 3 spotters.

[deepthinker22]

yeah, it helps.

[xcmtb83]

I have to agree with the load being too high and it appears the forks were already angled back as far as possible. Another little trick is checking for maximum air pressure in the front tires to minimize the deflection in them in turn allowing for less forward roll with the whole unit.

[yamaha407a]

can't the army do anything right???!!!

[024reredrum]

Our tax dollars hard at work again. Its always nice to hear the rubber being burnt off of government tires.

[TheBoldDIABLO]

all he needs to do is turn around and go up the hill foward with people spotting him....and keep the load lowered

[m8sr8z]

Haha thats funny as, what a dick head. Almost looked like he was pissed.

[Weazell]

the loads too high? No, he should spin it around and have a spotter guiding him up the incline forwards. His problem is that he's backing up a slope with a massive load.

[Stinkfist555]

fukin idiot. 1st. it should be closer to the ground

[gronko86]

lower the forks! dumbass

[importsXsuck]

keep the new guys off the heavy loads.

[philipc27]

Thats how we do it in the Army. haha

[execu366]

Nutsack 101

[Trusten1984]

Puts the ships container down, and take it from the other side. Is a danish container. mearsk sea-land. The ground

the forklift are sinking !

[CarlosCoy135]

lower the load u dumbass put more weight on the rear then u can actually steer

smh driving a forklift is very easy some people just make it difficult, i have to handle skids that weigh 4500-5000 lbs all the time and on our forklifts the ass end lifts up after 4,000 lbs

its not hard

[geirandre1]

If you tilt the lift back, and then raise the container. You will then get more weight on the rear weels...

So I am sorry to say this, but in this case, you are the dumb ass....

Have a nice day!

[forkliftopperth]

ahhh not true, the more you tilt back with a heavy load the more it effects your load center. tilt forward with heavy loads, do your forklift training again before making false comments, dumb ass

[forkliftopperth]

you shouldn't be lifting loads that make the fork do that, your just like the user geirandre1, dumb ass

[geirandre1]

I would love to see him tilit that load farword.... So we all could have see him tilt over and chrush that stupid little truck:)

And yes, he shouldnt lift load that heavy... But, I guess whey you are in the middle of a big sndbox named iraq, you dont have to many choices to get the job done, huh...

[CarlosCoy135]

ok ill tell my boss sorry boss i cant move this shipment for you the internets told me i shouldnt

[hakamere]

if he went faster he would have made it up

the road

[rubix14]

Hav a cuple guys stand on the back lol works all the time

[fkorsen]

Dumbass!!

[ryanhbmx]

if up lift the load higher the weight goes back and your back wheels will hit the ground dumbass

[theman1819]

yeah until id say about 10 feet then its going to put the weight back on the front

[RenzeZielman]

Then what would happen if he DID have the load high, the rear wheels balancing on and off the ground, and he had to brake when driving forward ???

[CM1523]

one the load won't go past a certain point as the the weight will be greater than the counterbalance weight of the forklift. and as the wheels do that and he brake what will happen is the container will tip to the ground as the wheels on the back come up higher until he stops then it will rock back into regular position. I do this at work all the time (with less weights and smaller lift but same premise)

[mickadee87]

1, u got the load way to high, 2, your a dumbass

[Str1ckNine]

that's not a stunt. that frequently happens when you pick something up thats too heavy for a lift.
