@bachelors of trolling degree, 2013 backing out at and angle or strait would have made no difference. when reach trucks are in the aisles they have to back out at angles because there is no room for them to go strait back.
The pallet had nothing to do with it. For one if you arent a good drive dont drive. Should have gotten the reach since he couldn't put the sit down straight was getting the pallet at an angle also didn't have the fork all the way in so the pallet snaped

@@nggblkeibensht2092 trust me I did outside garden 2 yrs the vigor mulch pallets are the worst and that is what this was. The Scott's come with green soil shrink wrap. But yet again it was the driver's fault 100%

Yep I work at a Home Depot and 75 bags a mulch come on a vigor mulch pallet. The pallets are almost always broken. Shoot I got into an accident once, when I was tryna move a poorly stacked mulch the minute I did a turn it broke and slide off my forks. Because of that accident if we have vigoro mulch deliveries that are more than 55 bags, we off-stack about half onto another pallet
A little back story to this situation. I worked at this Home depot. The guy operating the forklift was a long time lawn and Garden associate named Gary. One of the nicest guys ever really cared about the store and the company. This previous day corporate did a walk through of the store and noted several unsafe pallets in the store most of which were in outside Garden. I was in the break room at the time and i could hear the regional managers yelling at the store ASMs and garden department head about the pallet situation… the next day The ASM named Barb ( total bitch) told Gary that there were atleast 4 pallets in garden that needed to come down due to being damaged or not shrink wrapped correctly. Gary was certified on all the power equipment in the store. Gary told Barb. The they should use 2 order pickers to cut the wrap on the pallet and bring the product down piece by piece. Barb stressed and pressured gary saying that they could spare 2 order pickers cause it was Saturday morning and that the store was projected to be very busy for the day. Barb told gary to just block off the area and use the forklift. Gary reluctantly agreed. Ironically barb was garys spotter. The blocked off the area with gates and began to get the pallet down.. as you can see by the video due to the unsafe nature of the situation it drew a small crowd of customers and associates. After the pallet fell as noted in the video Gary was sent home for the day as he was upset about the situation. I was not in this day but from what I understand my fellow associates told gary accidents happen no big deal. When i came back to work (i worked in Electrical dept next to Garden) i was shocked not to see Gary in for his shift making a pot of coffee and telling his fishing stories. Figured he was sick. Well nope. HE was FUCKING FIRED!!! I was beside myself they forced him to do it. They claim that Gary should have told Barb that he was going to notify an ASM the situation was unsafe… anyways kinda shitty situation no matter what way you look at it….. i now work for a lumber yard and have for the past 7 years and am a safety manager and we use this video in our forklift operator’s presentation… i am finally telling Garys story… if you feel you situation is unsafe never be afraid to push it up the chain. Barb should have been the one being fired NOT Gary… Jack Former Home depot Electrical and Lumber Department Head
Gray did nothing wrong and if someone tells you to do something unsafe speak up and let your ASMs or any Manger know because I would never ask anyone even my fellow associates to do something that dangerous
@Kevin I used to work for HD from April 2015 - August 2017 as a MET associate. It really is a shit job with poor leadership and much unnecessary drama. I resigned and found a much better paying lower stress job and have since been happy.
Your story is BS by the way. The guy who dropped the pallet didn’t get fired. He left the company a few years later to get out of retail and started working for a company processing organ donations. Source you ask, I’m the guy on the forklift. And believe me I didn’t want to use the forklift to get the pallet down. I wanted to use the reachtruck. But the battery was dead on it and I had to use the forklift. And I didn’t have room to get under the pallet properly because of the wheelbarrows. Your story was interesting but not at all true. This was at HD 733 Hermitage TN.
I’m a Home Depot associate with 27 yrs under my belt ; I’m licensed to drive all the equipment with the exception of the HiLo on the JB Hunt delivery truck. After watching this video and my point of view, Whether the pallet was rotted or water logged , Why would an individual use a Propane truck to get into that tight spot for ! I can’t tell if the machine is the small truck or the 10000 lb unit , it doesn’t matter, the forks was restricted to go flush and all the way into the other end of the pallet! You need to use the Reach Truck for that tight area and make sure the forks are in the most heaviest part of the load ( The counterbalance), Then that accident would’ve been prevented! And if the customer wants to get ticked off for waiting while you’re trying to get an available machine, then C’est la vie
because reach trucks can't be used in outside garden. or at least that's the way it is at my store, if it's something light and close to the door like a patio set or something then fine, but the propane fork lift is what you're supposed to use when in outside garden.
To those saying a Reach lift is not designed for outdoor use in Garden, That is bullshit, I am a Garden Associate at the Home Depot and our store got a 2nd reach specifically for our department, We use it for all sorts of shit outside, Moving/Lifting Pavestone, Assorted Pallets, And yes even mulch! Some of this stuff is right on the edge of its lifting abilities but hey it works great! Hell I have even went and played with the Lumber associates a few times using our reach, Handles their bundles of wood with ease.
I LOVE the reach. I use it a lot in outside garden for Pavestone. It can be reached with the small truck, but is hard. I also use it in our red carpet aisle. Again, it is tight in the small truck. Also, I can get a whole lift of drywall (except 12 footers) from the back without moving the front stack out of the way.
These pallets often sit unattended throughout wet and dry extreme weather conditions. When I was in charge of a reset crew for Home Depot we often encountered pallets as well as shelving materials that were brittle and unstable.
Forks need to be adjusted to be spread all the way out. Forks need to be against the pallet and forks/mast need to be tilted all the way back. Side shift gently and slowly to the right while slowly moving in reverse. Observation: The person operating the forklift is a Rookie....! Anyone can drive a forklift, not everyone can operate one professionally....as seen in this video.
They should of had enough room to just get the pallet back up a little without turning and lower the pallet down. This dude turning with the pallet in the air knowing the pallet is crap did that to himself.
He should have straightened out the pallet on the rack, then started from scratch. What I do to test if a leaning pallet is going to tip over is I lift the pallet above the rack and see if there's a low spot or not. If no matter how high you lift the pallet, part of it stays in contact with the rack, it is going to tip over. Never just slide it off the rack as you back out and hope for the best.
I've had this many times with produce being put on thin white skids. Too often when I open the truck up the skid is already crushed to the floor and I can't even get forks under it. Add to it water and mulch = disaster waiting to happen
that couldn't have been helped. that pallet was old and broken and could not support the load that was on it, who ever wrapped the pallet wasn't staying INFOCUS.
His forkers weren't all the way in he had them around the middle of the pallet causing the pallet to lean back fall plus that pallet was shit to and the reach does work outside
As a forklift operator myself you got to be able to know when a pallet is good and sturdy and ready to be put away! That pallet was terribly put together and so lopsided
Most mulch pallets are junk. However the load should have been on the plate with the forks all the way in. Lift the darn thing where it is. If it sticks and you cant get it get a reach truck. Former forklift driver from lowes.
He didn't have his Forks all the way in. Which caused that to happen. But it's a minor inconvenience. He's maintained the zone of safety the only thing I could see a strike for is I don't see a spotter
Doesn’t look like he ever had his forks tilted back much, but probably wouldn’t have helped because this pallet was so far gone. I suppose ZMA the whole pallet they will send more.
When you have a manger that doesn’t care about you not having the right equipment for the situation and the pallet is rotted. And a customer is waiting for that one particular pallet. There’s really not much they can do. A reach truck would’ve gotten that pallet down without any issues. Sadly it was out of order.
I would’ve just put it back and told my manager I couldn’t take it down. Lol if them or any member of management has a forklift license then I’ll gladly allow them to show me the right way 😁👍🏾
You should have stood closer, then you could've sued HD for $45 million in hurt feelings and emotional distress. *Always make sure you're completely forked into a pallet before lifting it, this should be the very first thing you're taught in driving school. If he had been, it might not have fallen, but I'm betting it was a broken pallet to begin with. Perhaps T.M.I., but hopefully some beginner forklift driver will read this and not kill their friend who's helping them navigate a warehouse.
the reach can pick that up just fine.. take a look at how it fell, he went in the pallet wrong, his fork went in the hole but out somewhere in the middle. plus like one person said that pallet looked old. Dasswarcraft, the spotter looked like he was recording and im not saying that to defend anything other than stating the obvious lack of common sense. The driver should of known something was wrong and got out the pallet.
Binkzero206 I would never move that pallet with a reach from that height. It should of never gone up in the first place, nor the one to the right of it. Seems like all the stores have the same issues with people not giving a fuck or no common sense, Maybe both. Had someone in out store last month stack 3 hacks of lumber onto one another and placed in the mid overhead of wire racking. Some how they broke the top hack and knocked half of it out the back of the racking and just left it hanging by the plastic straps for someone to find. Took us a good hour to get it out and flipped back on top by lowing the loose lumber onto the racking.
Go back to the beginning. You will see he came in at basically the same angle as the person who put it up there. It was a rotten pallet with a badly placed load on it. Entire thing was setup to fail.
The reach truck had a dead battery at the time and the forklift was the only option. Manger wanted that pallet down for the customer. He didn’t care if it was safe or not. And the space between the racking and wheelbarrows wasn’t big enough to get the forklift squared with the pallet. And the pallet being rotted didn’t help. Had the pallet not been rotted, then maybe it would’ve come down just fine. Alas we will never know and it’s not my problem anymore.
that's nothing. my store does penske rentals and one our 26 foot trucks was in the customer parking lot and when l was moving it back to our lot l beached the truck on top of a fire hydrant and pushed the hydrant into the ground. back wheels were in the air spinning. the parking lot was just too busy to move that big truck. they saw the security footage and honestly nobody could have made that turn because there was somebody parked in the road making almost no space for the turn, so l got off with a warning but damn l thought l was getting the boot after that happened.

I love hearing all the engineers and experts weighing in - they never fail.
At least it was just 1 pallet of soil outside, imagine dropping a bunk of lumber 2x4x16 or hitting a car, seen so much stuff at HD 😂
Saw a guy dump a pallet of 16x16 stone pavers once and nearly totaled a guys car at Lowe’s. I don’t miss that job AT ALL
I have a pic
THAT WAS BROWN MULCH
This shows that damaged pallets shouldn't be on the top shelf.
If there's no space got to put it either in the overhead or outside where the overstock is
But it Topsoil. Thats where it belongs😂
These pallets often sit unattended throughout wet and dry extreme weather conditions. When I was in charge of a reset crew for Home Depot we often encountered pallets as well as shelving materials that were brittle and unstable.
the pallets are stacked with too many bags. look at how they are all tilted over.

I have done this the pallets that mulch comes on are weak and they break all the time
I used to deliver pallets of mulch, those pallets were always rotted cause they sit and sit outside through the seasons. Every single one of em.
I've had this many times with produce being put on thin white skids. Too often when I open the truck up the skid is already crushed to the floor and I can't even get forks under it. Add to it water and mulch = disaster waiting to happen
It’s never a dull moment when you work at the Home Depot
One reason why you don't reuse broken or defective pallets. If the pallet is broken then throw it away not reuse it
A multi-billion dollar company using .50 cent pallets. Yeah, that makes sense to me.
You mean the pallets off the truck from their mulch supplier?
Quick reduced sale on mulch
that couldn't have been helped. that pallet was old and broken and could not support the load that was on it, who ever wrapped the pallet wasn't staying INFOCUS.
That pallet was so waterlogged it’s wild
Why didn’t the driver use the reach truck instead?
And the person whom put the pallet up there should be talking to?
Maybe next time, don't block that stuff with a hundred wheelbarrows.
Wish I’d been there, they probably sold the damaged bags at half price 😂
Look how high those pallets are stacked and they are all leaning. How is that safe?
Looks like he didn't have the front of the pallet tilted. up enough and hooked some of the pallet on the shelving.

Trained at Home Depot I see. 😂😂😂😂😂
I work at Home Depot and that is crazy , idk why he was sideways going into that. If there was something in the way move it.
it was an unmovable object. that whole display with the wheel barrows was in the way, he couldn't move that.
This guy was seen interviewing with Lowe's the next day! (and he was hired!) 🤪
That’s funny. He wasn’t fired though. The manager on duty had a good laugh.
Now THAT'S the power of the Home Depot!!!
Violating every lift rule. I do this all day long at HD.
It looked as if the pallet was to weak! Those pallets can be bad
@mcwhammer good advice, thanks!
Forks not all the way in load not braced fully against the back plate I drive reach trucks for Home Depot the pallet was old but useable
Little late by 9 years but is he a new forklift driver? He clearly had no idea what he was doing
Sound at end was funny
written warning + suspension of equipment license

Many long term employees got fired over one load mishap with machinery. Yup.
Really why is dirt in the rafters plus its to tall for unblance load.
Lift it close to home
I’m guessing he had maybe 2 min of training lol. I’m glad I don’t do warehouse forklift stuff no more.
The loads top left corner never came off the bay
What I find strange about the forklift fails is that its blatantly obvious what is going to happen yet the drivers themselves don't see it.

shoukld have gone and got the fork extensions. or used the lumber lift.
Squeezing into tight corners like that is mastering side shifting. Never pull off the load if your fork guard isn't all the way. Rookie
Why not move the wheelbarrows so my guy can make a clean turn and get it straight in

stop calling it a damn reach truck its a sit down forklift. have any of you even worked at home depot 😠
...and the dude didn't even get paid a nickel more an hour for working heavy equipment. Ain't worth the responsibility.
Not the drivers fault pallet is literally rotted
and a final
Manager should be fired for allowing heavy tall palletized material up on the top rack.should be on floor or second rack.
The reach aint design for outside garden....let alone those pallets are stacked to high.
that wasn't a reach, it was a sit down fork lift which is supposed to be used in outside garden.
No need to be so overloaded
Called retail. You either adjust or you fail.
