Re: Shit Shit Shit There Goes the Forklift Holding a Big Sea Container
This little forklift thing is retarded, it makes no sense. One of those cargo containers empty is super heavy, let alone loaded. Plus those things catch alot of wind.

Re: Shit Shit Shit There Goes the Forklift Holding a Big Sea Container
Physics at work. How on earth did they think moving such a large object so high above a small vehicle on a windy day was *not* going to end in disaster?

Re: Shit Shit Shit There Goes the Forklift Holding a Big Sea Container
Why didn't he try from the other side he could have pick it up then lowered it down after only moving the width of the container! Instead of try to clear the length of those other containers. Should not have tried to turn with it in the air, back up lower it then turn.

Re: Shit Shit Shit There Goes the Forklift Holding a Big Sea Container
Yep, given the audibly windy conditions, he should have made haste to lower the container rather than making a turn first. He could have braced it against the two perpendicular container stacks while lowering, then, once near ground level, pulled back the forks to improve the centre of gravity. It was a difficult lift, no doubt, but this guy was careless. |
