Who here has experience on a sit down fork lift?
    #13202087 -

I have an interview tomorrow that will be for a forklift driving position and I only have a little bit of experience on a sit down forklift.  Most of my experience is on the stand up type.  Could you breifly refresh my memory on how to operate one?  I am sure they'll re-train me, but I don't want to be completely ignorant.

dude, you could really consolidate this all to one post.  I get that you really want to prepare, but to spam the pub with every aspect of your day tomorrow is unnecessary. I wonder what toothpaste you should use?

PS: forklift: left foot goes forward, right foot goes backward, or is it the other way around?  The levers have demonstrational pictures. just drove one the other day. Cars are far more complicated. so if you are 16+ it should be cake.

I think that would be really funny to see.

very easy to operate but it takes practice to maneuver it the proper way and you will get better with time at stacking pallets etc

not all lifts are like that, the majority have a lever on the steering
column that provides forward, neutral and reverse, the two pedals are
acceleration and braking

It's not that hard to learn a different type of forklift if you already know how to run one type. You'll have the hang of it within an hour without any training needed.

Also, I wouldn't get overboard with it when you are getting certified, but if you keep the clutch in and push the gas while you are lifting something it will go up faster.  Big time saver!!

a shop I worke at, I cut down the mast of a huge forklift so we could get
it in the building and use it, went from 15' to 10' overall height, we had
a breezeway between 2 of the buildings that was 9' and had the steam and
sprinkler pipes running overhead, we had 3 people bust those pipes with
the big lift and one bust them with a smaller lift

every time was the same, it was vacuum system, when the seal on the pipe
was broken anywhere you'd hear this deafening rush of air that drowned out
the cries for help, leaving the operator clueless and helpless, it usually
took a full minute for the water to arrive and when it did it was about
100 gallons a minute through the 4" pipes virtually drowning everyone in
that area, namely the lift driver and anyone that went to help him and
flooding the floor of both buildings, that sucked in the winter


I put a $30k thermal printer into a hall with a forklift once, it had to
go through a wall to get there, I also discovered that the only person
there that had certification had never been on a forklift before, he was
afraid to get on one

I wish you had video of that as well.  I had a guy break the sprinkler system at a warehouse I was supervising at the time, but it was on the wall and not nearly as big a deal.  ( I think it was just a relief line to flush the system.) You wouldn't have known that by the way the guy was flailing around and screaming for someone to do something though.  Forklifts are great.

Yeah, that is fun, but dangerous as hell.  When it would rain, the water would get down on the dock plate and when we would back out after loading, we would do doughnuts.  or make a long strip of water on the floor, go real fast, then once we hit the water we would slam it in reverse and gun it to see how far it would go.  Almost put a few holes in the wall that way, and almost dropped it off a small cliff outside of one if the doors on the unfinished side of the building.  Thinking back on it, I am astonished that someone didn't get hurt really bad, or killed.

shit, tat reminded me of one of the guys we had, he's racing around on one
of the medium lifts with large fork carrying pallets of unbanded steel
pipe supports, several people told him to slow it down, he just kept
getting faster and dumber, he eventually put the forks through one of the
windows in the boss' office trying to put a pallet on the rack, nearly
clipped the old man... oddly, it was still another month before he got fired
