Forklift and too much free time

Rich Biebel · 12-13-2012, 07:54 PM

We tried this yesterday with a smaller forklift....and it was easy...on the first attempt the coin popped right up on the fork blade. Dragged the blade over it just like he did in the clip....and it would be pretty easy to drop it in the bottle.... except for the fact that our lift does not have side shift forks......makes lining it up much tougher...

Now seeing it in a bigger forklift is definately harder....

We were using a 5000lb Cat.....LPG powered unit....

We have another one but it is does not have flat bottomed forkblades and is way tougher to drive...and much bigger at about 10,000lbs....

The one in the clip is a very big diesel.....and the drivers seat is a lot further away....The dude is good.....
