Just watched the forklift video. I'd seen it before but it's been a while....it's crazy to me that people can be that stupid. Not just one person, but everyone in that video. The operator picks up a load that's too heavy, and they know it because they're using a moron as counterbalance, then the lady grabs on and thinks it'll make a difference...unreal
You mean like this? LOL. Funny part is they actually do get sent out with guys with no training/experience. Trial by fire! Not my circus, not my monkeys and they can’t blame me if I’m not there.
LOL. Good help/workers are hard to find. And most people nowadays have that “I don’t give a Fuck” attitude
Lol dude.
There’s really big over head cranes that have a can. You sit in to operate. You have to climb all the way up there. Obviously, there’s a ladder.
That’d be fun for a little while, then I imagine it’d be super boring. I’m at the point with my boom that I’m not even looking at the line or target, I just know where it is and what’s going on. But you have to factor in I’ve been running what’s essentially a 10 ton mobile crane for almost 20 years. (Fuck I’m old!)
Wow dude.
Are you in a union?
I messed up my grammar. I meant an overhead crane with a Cab. I said “can”.
But I know you know what I meant
I think there’s a lot of overhead cranes can be operated by radio control, strapped around your waist.
IBEW local 21. It’s a bullshit in house local that only deals with my company and NONE of my skills transfer ANYWHERE because we don’t get officially certified on any equipment. If it were a real union I’d be a heavy equipment operator, crane ops, specialty equipment, laborer, etc etc. You’d be hard pressed to find equipment I haven’t run or can’t be fluid with in a matter of a few hours.
The control box for mine hangs over the back of my neck. One of the fat fucks in my garage broke the belly strap and with the tilt sensor in the controller the thing would shut off too much attached to my waist anyway.
The shit you find
That video has been in my bookmarks ever since the day I saw it. Its a real training video and so god damned entertaining.
Also, that setup when the music starts, so funny, you know shit is going to go so wrong.
I’m sorry but I’m LMAO
I'm not sorry at all. Humor aside, I bet you can remember EVERY unsafe thing that happened in that video with just a single viewing.
