Roller Bearing Crank How could I know that when they don't even sell them here lol. A lot of cars I have worked on however do have it that way, most recently on a Rover 400. So tell me how are they routed to the rear of the car?
+Swagin McFaggins In the case of the Ford Falcon, that should be spelt "rooted" - as in, the car itself - especially the rear section - comes pre-rooted from the factory. You can expect to see rear brakes fail within two years of purchase and rear suspension fail within four years of purchase, like clockwork.
stephen doherty and rightly so... Lifting a car with an flt usually does enough damage to write it off. (New floor, sills, driveshaft, exhaust, fuel lines etc.)
An illegal park doesn't put the law into peon workers' hands. You guys down under definitely do things differently. In America, that's why we have towing companies. Good thing it was a Ford! (insert salty rebuttal below).
And man with children's seat in the car... critical situation with critical braking and vehicle go strange pet...in tomorrow paper read,, all family dies in car crash,, and you wonder how, way for god sake
Seeing this seriously angers me. There are so many components under the car that were probably damaged or blemished. At least the owner has video proof of this idiocy so that they can sue them! Come on people! Don't take short cuts! Do it properly!
If your parking is stoping business then they weren’t in the wrong longer they dick around finding the owner the more the business pays out for time on the clock and just looking for the owner could take a long time especially if he’s not in the area
he was legally parked, dosn´t matter if he is stopping bussiness if he is in a legal place, owner of car has all the right to be there, your comment makes no sense
+Elites Engineering well, the caption says "legally parked", not illegally parked. I didn't see any sign by the space. It looks like maybe that's access to a worksite. If so, they should have put up a sign, like a sandwich board or maybe an orange barrel or cone, SOMETHING, to reserve the spot.
If they had placed four blocks of wood on the forks to line up with the proper lifting points then this wouldn't be so bad. By not doing that, there is risk of damaging the exhaust, fuel lines, brake lines, wiring harness, and more. And if it were a rear or all wheel drive car then they could damage drivetrain components as well.
... just another I'm going to tell.... it's all tucked in the floor pan or the rail the sub frame runs the length of the car so it does not matter. even just monocoqal pans have safety rails. discount tire uses a solid flat platform that that raises most vehicles with a frame or floor Pan without a problem just the same way. car wasn't harmed in any way. should watch reponut, he does this every so often with his tire clamp boom repo truck.
+Snipe Stud00 Used to work in auto salvage. I have lifted thousands of vehicles with a much bigger forklift that had wider forks which spread the forces out onto a larger area and I know for a fact that a forklift will indeed destroy the undercarriage of most vehicles if the forks aren't lined up properly with the lift points or if blocks of wood aren't used as spacers. On many modern vehicles, the rockers do hang down lower than the fuel lines and break lines under a vehicle but while it will protect the important items to some extent, it will receive damage. The lift at most tire shops have adjustable arms that get lined up with the vehicles lift points. As for a repo truck, they clamp the wheels and lift, they don't use the wheel lift on the chassis unless they are using the wheel lift to temporarily lift junk/wrecked cars that they don't care about the damage on.
...and if your tire shop is using a platform scissor lift it too should have some spacers that they line up with the approved lift points or a thick soft rubber pad that runs the full length. Those lifts can spread the weight over a huge area and still have a void in the center.
JeepCollector91 it's just a steel flat platform then park any car on abd lift. You don't need proper lifting points when your going up a foot with the whole lifting rails or frame sitting on it. Your ignorance is high as you don't know cars.
Actually, no it isn't Mathieu. There are specific points underneath that must be used when raising a vehicle. You can't just put a fork lift underneath and raise it. There is definitely damage to the undercarriage now.
Sounds from the Underground still I doubt it would get damaged , these are strong metal bars made to be lifted at these points more or less , it goes from wheel to wheel on both side
bro. seriously, stop. You can NOT just lift a car with a forklift and not damage god knows what. it wasn't a straight through fork, so it wasn't frame on both sides....
yeah, right... he is going to be leaking exhaust fumes and because of that he is going to be wasting money paying for more gas and is gonna need repairs for anything broken or bent down there.
and qualified theft as the vehicle was moved/lifted without the owner's consent/permission. In some jurisdictions they could also be charged with tampering with private property.
+JimBorrison Borrison well seen it this way you don´t need to walk home when they just moved the car, like if it would have been towed and then pay a fine for the towing and maybe also a parking fine

When I was younger I was a lather, you know, pre-stucko paper,wire, structure. Well there was this one work site that was on a hill and had a really skinny perimeter dirt road that was a bitch to navigate made even worse by rains but all the workers, contracters and delivery trucks had to use this every day to get to that part of the Condo project where they were working or delivering or whatever. This one asshat contracter had a VW minivan and would just park it wherever, even in the middle of the road, so he could go do whatever work he needed to do.(I forget if he was a plumber or an electrician). He was an arrogant prick and blocked the road several times, inconveniencing scores of people but always got away with it and moved before he could be towed. Well this one day he blocked the road in the late morning (lunchtime for const. workers) and nobody could get in or out of one of the busiest parts of the project. Well the guys that were delivering drywall had enough. They had a lift that put large stacks or drywall several stories high on patio slabs that had no railings yet so were used to put sheetrock into the buildings for the drywall guys. They lifted this guys van up onto one of these patios that I believe was a 2nd story patio. Due to the construction they were very strong patios and could easily handle the weight. Then you had about 2 dozen workers, some who's lunch had come and gone just sitting at the side of the road, in or on their cars parked on the side, or perched on the patios, just waiting for this guy to come back for his van. Finally he comes back, looks around, walks up and walks down, shaking his head. people start to chuckle, then outright laughter breaks out. This guy is confused about his van, then confused about the laughter. Several guys go over and ask him if he needs help and what is wrong. "My van is missing, somebody stole my van!"/ "Oh, that's serious, where was it parked?" "RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!" "OHHH, well in that case have you checked the balconeys?" The guy doesn't understand. It is repeated, then he looks up. Now everybody is falling on the ground laughing. Even the guy who's van it was can't decide whether to be angry or start laughing himself. At least it wasn't stolen. Please, how do I get it down? LMAO. This really happened in a project in Escondido California in the mid 80's. I was fortunate to see it and learn that there are no lines that a man will not cross to make a point. Databyter
that car was not illegally parked and those dumbass people think they own the road do they think they can do what ever they want i hope the owner of that car see's this video and files a lawsuit against them for criminal damage to their car..
How dumb are you guys? You posted this vid, the smash repair place gives away where it is in Sydney, all your guys faces are shown. Are you after court action from the owner of this vehicle?
+Angus Thomson Put your glasses on. You telling me the person who owns this car can't identify the Asian people moving it and what company it's at here in Sydney? When the fuck did I mention anything about the truck driver recording it being held responsible?.
You wrote it all in the active voice in second person, therefore when you use a second person pronoun such as "you", that subject should not change in the same sentence let alone the same paragraph. Here, I'll show you what you said: >>How dumb are YOU guys? - (Okay, so you're speaking to some person/s in particular) >>YOU posted this vid, - (Oh, you're speaking to the person who posted the video) >>the smash repair place gives away where it is in Sydney, all YOUR guys faces are shown. - (What you've typed seems to show you've assumed the guys are the aforementioned person's; in the same sentence, no less) >>Are YOU after court action from the owner of this vehicle? - (You are obviously speaking to the people moving the vehicle, which by the above correlation would mean that, in your opinion, the person posting the video is somehow implicated in whatever crimes had been filmed and posted in this video) Maybe you meant something like: How dumb are these guys? This vid is on RUclips. The smash repair place gives away where it is in Sydney. All those guys' faces are shown. Are they after court action from the owner of this vehicle? Also, Dumb? Sure, sometimes I lock my keys in my car. Yeah, I'm white, what of it? no I don't live in Bendigo. Furthermore, I was in Sydney recently, it wasn't a very nice place.
I made a delivery in Brooklyn,NY but had this problem .I couldn't back into the dock because of a car blocking most of driveway. Well the good ole boys in the auto recycking business across the street and told me to watch out because he was going to move it with a forklift. Right through the windows ,picked it up by the roof,asked if I were able to back in now and I said yes. I asked him why he wasn't more careful with the car car and he said it was more then likely stolen because it was there for over a week .
we do it regularly (to scrap cars not other peoples!) and as long as you look first and make sure to pick it up in the right spot you dont damage anything but by the looks of this there could have been a good bit of damage to that falcon
You think the stupid fuck cared? He'll care when he gets a 4 thousand dollar repair bill and his ass should be deported. Don't need fucks like that coming here with some fucked up, stupid Chinese set of values.
Punctured a hole in the muffler, bent some metal, screws and bolts possibly punctured the oil pan as well. If you ever do feel like forklifting a vehicle get a shit load of padding for them forks. or just use a tow truck. Easy way to get sued no visible signage. I would beat some ass for this
what???? what are u smoking theat did no damige to the car thats how cars get lifted up in machanic shops cars have a frame around it thats strong ment for lifting dont sread false info if you dont know anything about cars
Do you fucking speak english, you fucking idiot? The title refers to that the car is infact parked legally and what they did was illegal, learn to fucking read before you comment like a foreign dumbass.
Echo You apparently dont, because English is capitalized .. and no where was I talking about the car location it's parked, I'm talking about them moving the car with a forklift and no other news of them being fined or an update. So it's a legitimate question, so get the fuck up off my shit answer the question or shut your fucking ass up. *Pick one*
Rush Gotti dude get off my shit I didn't misread anything wrong I said how is that even legal my original post shows no edits no nothing... nothing here said anything deterring from my original comment. set off my notifs with more of your bull shit and I can just ban you to make you stop.
That is why your car has funny noises going over speed bumps. Because it is unibody and it damages the structural integrity. That is why it has an exhaust leak now because it pushed that Cat converter into the body bending the exhaust pipe. Not funny. If it were a piece of junk car that would be one thing but it looked fairly new.
John Briggs you can get the lift points with a big enough towmotor but he didn't have them spread out enough and also when I've done that before you throw blocks under the pinch welds so it keeps the exhaust from getting bent too badly. And like i saw with people saying about the fuel and break lines those are tucked agenst the floor boards so there is no danger in getting those.
This people should pay FULL PRICE for that car there is Brake lines Electrical Fuel lines under the car that those metal forks can damage very easily. This Car Owner should take them to court..!!! Idiots..!!!
If that was my car, I'd be suing the owner/contractor who owns the forklift. The company of the truck driver that needed more room. and anyone else who was apart of the illegal moving of my legally parked car.
All I see is a terrible truck driver if they need to move a legally parked car. What, are you too incompetent to move around it? Maybe you shouldn't be driving.
This car just got Shanghaied. Nobody has a right to move your car unless you have broken some law or your car is being repossessed and the person doing the moving has the authority and permits to do so. Even the tow person could be sue if they did a f'd up job and cause damage when took the car. Of course the hard part is proving it unless you had everything on video or witnesses the tow driver could just simply deny it and said the damage was already there. Could easily have gone into a few of the nearby businesses and ask who drives the blue Ford and if they would be kind enough to move it just across the street so it wouldn't be in the way of their workers. I 'm sure most would ha e no problem at all with that request.
+Amc Abbott You need a hard hat and eye protection to operate a fork in the U.S? wow? What's with the eye protection? Scared a hydraulic hose will burst or something?
you always need to have the forks off the ground while driving. You also do not need to operate a fork lift with saftey glasses. Osha might recommend this but not a necessity. Now depending on what you are handling while operating the lift you might be required to were eye protection.
I understand this, been driving 15 yrs myself. Just the hard hat and glasses puzzled me? Don't need that crap here just to load a truck in the street like these guys. Unless the sky starts falling on my head, or acid is getting sprayed at my face by killer snakes who spray killer acid in peoples eyes on forklifts?.
Only Parking enforcement, Law Enforcement and the Fire Department have the authority to move a legally parked vehicle, not the shop owner or folk lift operator, the damage caused to the under carriage would be at the folk lift operator expense, for improperly lifting the car.
I just don't get who would be stupid enough to film something like this and put it on the internet. Did it ever occur to them that the owner could file a lawsuit? that little stunt could cost them thousands of dollars and if there is anything damaged. At least they got a viral video out of it right?
rocpet3 It looks like it was filmed by the truck driver, who probably works for a distributor and is not directly associated with the guys driving the forklift for whatever store this is.
worldpeace32 a scratch???! that's cosmetic issues. the entire frame of that car is probably ruined. the forklift arms layer across the entire vehicle and now there is probably irriversable twisting in the body and frame. not to mention he may have damaged or ruptured fuel line or gas tank, bent or even punctured the chassis.
Vehicle larceny (even if it is just 20 feet). I hope the owner made a police report. And demanded compensation from the company for the cost of checking and fixing the structural integrity of the car.
saxman642 The driver probably thought they just remembered incorrectly where they parked. The damage probably wasn't noticed until their next check-up (or when they saw this video).
In the good old USA they would've been charged with property damage, car jacking. No ands if's or buts that's the way it's is over here. But depending on where in the USA they most likely been shot by the owner and justafiably so.
Many years ago an idiot moved shoved my car with a snow plow. The jackass ended up paying me more then the car was worth to fix it. It was either that or the local police were going to arrest him. That forklift driver has to have certification so it makes the penalty for criminal charges lot higher.
Your low IQ is shining .....dimly. You can't "carjack" an empty car. Property damage? Possibly, as long as you are able to prove that whatever "damage" was caused by the forklift. justifiably*
Whoever the forklift operator should have their forklift license revoked indefinitely. The car was legally parked on the side of the road, and they had no right to touch the person's property whatsoever. If they were getting a big truck delivery or pickup coming in, , they should have pre planned it, and made sure the street was clear in advance, if it be the workers parking their cars there in early morning hours before anybody else had a chance to. The world doesn't revolve around any particular business, they need to should have pre planned instead touch somebody else's property. You better believe if this was my car, this company would be paying for a very thorough inspection of the vehicle to make sure no damage was done, and be paying for the damage if any was found. People commenting saying that it won't damage a car, and some are commenting that it will. I don't know much about cars, but I do know that they aren't always built the same, just because you have lifted a car and it has not been damaged, doesn't mean all cars will not be damaged using the same method to move the vehicle. If Australia has any type of OSHA, there were many safety violations using a forklift to raise a car. If there are any laws about illegal towing of a vehicle, I think this would have to fit into that category, because I cannot think of whatever other law it would fall under.
+Lunas Eclipse fired? it was most likely the boss who did it or told them to do it and definitely not arrested its more of a civil matter for the courts to decide all the cops would do is take details down
Not really not sure what crime it could be called but the company would be on the hook for even the smallest scratch or dent put in it. To keep the car owner off the company in court the peons or even supervisor would be fired. And for this type of work there is not a shortage of butts to fill spots... It really depends if they caused damage and they most certainly did. And how pissed the car owner is. If they are very lucky it was a rental and the driver is an air head and does not realize which side it was parked on. By lifting it like they did they would have caused frame damage if they managed to avoid pinching or breaking fuel rails or brakeing systems or electrical. The immediate thing to notice would be the doors not opening right or closing right. Next assuming the car starts if the brakes work emergency cable. And a few charges maybe applicable grand theft auto, intentional destruction of property, reckless endangerment. They should have knocked on the door asked for the owner to move it. Or called a licensed tow company to remove it and issue the parking ticket. Or found another route.
If this was your Ford, I recognised that this is Beresford Ave, Greenacre, & truck must've wanted to reverse into 4X4-R-Us Japanese Auto Parts, 22- 26 Beresford Ave, Greenacre NSW 2190 (02) 97903844
be funny if the owner was at breaking point already and came out to his car and saw that, man i can only imagine what could come of it that would of done damage to the sills/chassis rails
In all 50 states., it is a felony to take someones car regardless of distance traveled or reason for the theft., the only people who may remove a vehicle without owners consent is police, fire or an authorized representative.
that's how you operate a forklift. You tilt the forks back to move the weight distribution towards the forklift to prevent it from tipping forward. Forklifts easily tilt forward.
what???? what are u smoking theat did no damige to the car thats how cars get lifted up in machanic shops cars have a frame around it thats strong ment for lifting dont sread false info if you dont know anything about cars
Dun Hilda There's also 296 million more people in the USA. So it's not odd that there's more crime. There's also 310 million privately owned guns in the U.S. that's almost 14 times the population of Australia.
sd-dirt There is a far, far lower per capita gun death in Australia. however, the introduction of gun laws had (afaik) no measurable effect on the decline in gun deaths form the 10 yrs prior to the 10yrs after. No mass shootings since though.
I might be the only one here that's also lifted a vehicle with a fork lift. Believe it or not it's no different than lifting a car with a chassis hoist. If it's fwd there is no transmission or driveshaft to get in the way. Most fuel/brake lines are protected from damage in case you bottom out on a curb or speed bump. The exhaust components are usually mounted higher than the subframe side rails. Just look at where the jack points are on a car, that's right, not too far from where they picked it up from. The driver may have spread his forks a bit wider would be my only recommendation. Likely even a mechanic would be hard pressed to find any damage at all.
Undercarriage is probably fucked now.

would cost less to fix the car
the owner of the vehicle can get the driver of the forklift arrested on safety charges against him
and qualified theft as the vehicle was moved/lifted without the owner's consent/permission. In some jurisdictions they could also be charged with tampering with private property.
And they should be charged with all the crimes you mentioned.

i would sue the hell out of them!!!

It seems the most you would get out of them is reimbursement for damage to your car, and loss of use if repairs were needed. What other damages were incurred?
If there is no damage I don't think you could sue them. Most mechanics shops lift cars in a similar way using a vehicle lift

When I was younger I was a lather, you know, pre-stucko paper,wire, structure. Well there was this one work site that was on a hill and had a really skinny perimeter dirt road that was a bitch to navigate made even worse by rains but all the workers, contracters and delivery trucks had to use this every day to get to that part of the Condo project where they were working or delivering or whatever. This one asshat contracter had a VW minivan and would just park it wherever, even in the middle of the road, so he could go do whatever work he needed to do.(I forget if he was a plumber or an electrician). He was an arrogant prick and blocked the road several times, inconveniencing scores of people but always got away with it and moved before he could be towed. Well this one day he blocked the road in the late morning (lunchtime for const. workers) and nobody could get in or out of one of the busiest parts of the project. Well the guys that were delivering drywall had enough. They had a lift that put large stacks or drywall several stories high on patio slabs that had no railings yet so were used to put sheetrock into the buildings for the drywall guys. They lifted this guys van up onto one of these patios that I believe was a 2nd story patio. Due to the construction they were very strong patios and could easily handle the weight. Then you had about 2 dozen workers, some who's lunch had come and gone just sitting at the side of the road, in or on their cars parked on the side, or perched on the patios, just waiting for this guy to come back for his van. Finally he comes back, looks around, walks up and walks down, shaking his head. people start to chuckle, then outright laughter breaks out. This guy is confused about his van, then confused about the laughter. Several guys go over and ask him if he needs help and what is wrong. "My van is missing, somebody stole my van!"/ "Oh, that's serious, where was it parked?" "RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!"
"OHHH, well in that case have you checked the balconeys?" The guy doesn't understand. It is repeated, then he looks up. Now everybody is falling on the ground laughing. Even the guy who's van it was can't decide whether to be angry or start laughing himself. At least it wasn't stolen. Please, how do I get it down? LMAO. This really happened in a project in Escondido California in the mid 80's. I was fortunate to see it and learn that there are no lines that a man will not cross to make a point.
Databyter
Dear customer, your car is now ready for pick-up.
that car was not illegally parked and those dumbass people think they own the road do they think they can do what ever they want i hope the owner of that car see's this video and files a lawsuit against them for criminal damage to their car..
you mean illegally parked right?
Philip Olinger yeah lol
Well... that's one way to steal a car I suppose
How dumb are you guys? You posted this vid, the smash repair place gives away where it is in Sydney, all your guys faces are shown. Are you after court action from the owner of this vehicle?
+TRanceifyable How dumb are you? Obviously the guys moving the car aren't the same bunch of guys as the one/s in the truck filming it, you git.
+Angus Thomson Put your glasses on. You telling me the person who owns this car can't identify the Asian people moving it and what company it's at here in Sydney? When the fuck did I mention anything about the truck driver recording it being held responsible?.
+TRanceifyable get off the shard mate, that's exactly what you said.
+TRanceifyable I put my glasses on. It still didn't change what you typed in. Sorry.
You wrote it all in the active voice in second person, therefore when you use a second person pronoun such as "you", that subject should not change in the same sentence let alone the same paragraph.
Here, I'll show you what you said:
>>How dumb are YOU guys? - (Okay, so you're speaking to some person/s in particular)
>>YOU posted this vid, - (Oh, you're speaking to the person who posted the video)
>>the smash repair place gives away where it is in Sydney, all YOUR guys faces are shown. - (What you've typed seems to show you've assumed the guys are the aforementioned person's; in the same sentence, no less)
>>Are YOU after court action from the owner of this vehicle? - (You are obviously speaking to the people moving the vehicle, which by the above correlation would mean that, in your opinion, the person posting the video is somehow implicated in whatever crimes had been filmed and posted in this video)
Maybe you meant something like:
How dumb are these guys? This vid is on RUclips. The smash repair place gives away where it is in Sydney. All those guys' faces are shown. Are they after court action from the owner of this vehicle?
Also, Dumb? Sure, sometimes I lock my keys in my car. Yeah, I'm white, what of it? no I don't live in Bendigo. Furthermore, I was in Sydney recently, it wasn't a very nice place.
Imagine the reaction of the driver, I could've sworn that's where I left it.
I made a delivery in Brooklyn,NY but had this problem .I couldn't back into the dock because of a car blocking most of driveway. Well the good ole boys in the auto recycking business across the street and told me to watch out because he was going to move it with a forklift. Right through the windows ,picked it up by the roof,asked if I were able to back in now and I said yes. I asked him why he wasn't more careful with the car car and he said it was more then likely stolen because it was there for over a week .
mike charette lol that would be funny to watch
I didn't think they would do it but after they did it was rather funny , in a serious way .
mike charette XD
why were the windows open?
Jason, the car was stolen and thats how the forklift picked it up also and its was halarious to watch .
A lawsuit waiting to happen here!
I wonder what kind of damage that did to the underside of the car.
right exhaust,chassis,brake lines frame all crushed cause truck driver was an unprofessional and couldn't handle it !
I was thinking the same thing
we do it regularly (to scrap cars not other peoples!) and as long as you look first and make sure to pick it up in the right spot you dont damage anything but by the looks of this there could have been a good bit of damage to that falcon
You think the stupid fuck cared? He'll care when he gets a 4 thousand dollar repair bill and his ass should be deported. Don't need fucks like that coming here with some fucked up, stupid Chinese set of values.
None
Nice way to bring a law suit on yourself and your company.
Or they could teach the truck driver how to reverse... Could be one hefty repair bill!
I'm pretty sure he was boxed in duh
I would Sue them in a heartbeat
he's not even wearing his safety glasses🙁
Safety first
+Kurt Garside forklifts don't have seat belts
+will
Yes they do, and for good reason.
+will yes they do
+Kev eb4 not from where i live
I would be PISSED!!!!
Punctured a hole in the muffler, bent some metal, screws and bolts possibly punctured the oil pan as well. If you ever do feel like forklifting a vehicle get a shit load of padding for them forks. or just use a tow truck. Easy way to get sued no visible signage. I would beat some ass for this
No.
Punctured the oil pan? do you know anything about cars? The engine is over the front wheels and the oil pan is under the engine.
what???? what are u smoking theat did no damige to the car thats how cars get lifted up in machanic shops cars have a frame around it thats strong ment for lifting dont sread false info if you dont know anything about cars
How the fuck is that legal? Do that the US and I'll legally beat your face in.
Do you fucking speak english, you fucking idiot? The title refers to that the car is infact parked legally and what they did was illegal, learn to fucking read before you comment like a foreign dumbass.
Echo You apparently dont, because English is capitalized .. and no where was I talking about the car location it's parked, I'm talking about them moving the car with a forklift and no other news of them being fined or an update. So it's a legitimate question, so get the fuck up off my shit answer the question or shut your fucking ass up. *Pick one*
Rush Gotti dude get off my shit I didn't misread anything wrong I said how is that even legal my original post shows no edits no nothing... nothing here said anything deterring from my original comment. set off my notifs with more of your bull shit and I can just ban you to make you stop.
Rush Gotti first off you quoted my name, so you're talking to me ... get the fuck off my shit with your bitch ass mustang and gay ass name..
Actually, the title is wrong. It should be "Workers Move Legally-Parked Car With A Forklift!".
And yes, I'm an English Language teacher.
That is why your car has funny noises going over speed bumps. Because it is unibody and it damages the structural integrity. That is why it has an exhaust leak now because it pushed that Cat converter into the body bending the exhaust pipe. Not funny. If it were a piece of junk car that would be one thing but it looked fairly new.
2002 model ford
Adskitl no its a 2005 model
TheMechanic2 Yep, I wondered about that too. There are designed lift points for a car, I'm not sure the forklift uses those points.
9lo
John Briggs you can get the lift points with a big enough towmotor but he didn't have them spread out enough and also when I've done that before you throw blocks under the pinch welds so it keeps the exhaust from getting bent too badly. And like i saw with people saying about the fuel and break lines those are tucked agenst the floor boards so there is no danger in getting those.
This people should pay FULL PRICE for that car there is Brake lines Electrical Fuel lines under the car that those metal forks can damage very easily. This Car Owner should take them to court..!!! Idiots..!!!
Look at the license plate of the car being moved.... There's the handicap sign! Man, what a bunch of assholes!
World has become cruel, kindness is always show in comment sections not in action. :/
If that was my car, I'd be suing the owner/contractor who owns the forklift. The company of the truck driver that needed more room. and anyone else who was apart of the illegal moving of my legally parked car.
nice way to pinch the exhaust shut
Will it give the car a cool sound?
Only if the exhaust is not ran properly
All I see is a terrible truck driver if they need to move a legally parked car. What, are you too incompetent to move around it? Maybe you shouldn't be driving.
+Goabnb94 just guessing but maybe they needed the space to unload the truck with the forklift , either way ,the forklift operator was in the wrong
That's is disgusting that this guy think it's ok to move this vehicle without the owner permission.....
This car just got Shanghaied. Nobody has a right to move your car unless you have broken some law or your car is being repossessed and the person doing the moving has the authority and permits to do so. Even the tow person could be sue if they did a f'd up job and cause damage when took the car. Of course the hard part is proving it unless you had everything on video or witnesses the tow driver could just simply deny it and said the damage was already there. Could easily have gone into a few of the nearby businesses and ask who drives the blue Ford and if they would be kind enough to move it just across the street so it wouldn't be in the way of their workers. I 'm sure most would ha e no problem at all with that request.
+80schampion Shanghaied? Really...
+80schampion That would probably require those fuckers to know the English language
The underside of the car will thank you for this shit.
30 seconds in and already too painful to watch. Hope the owner sued for damages
osha would love to see this guy in the states. no hard hat, seatbelt, eye protection forks lifted while not loaded thats about $2500 in fines
+Amc Abbott LOLOL, So true!
+Amc Abbott No shit, here's something that would never happen in the states on so many levels.
+Amc Abbott You need a hard hat and eye protection to operate a fork in the U.S? wow? What's with the eye protection? Scared a hydraulic hose will burst or something?
you always need to have the forks off the ground while driving. You also do not need to operate a fork lift with saftey glasses. Osha might recommend this but not a necessity. Now depending on what you are handling while operating the lift you might be required to were eye protection.
I understand this, been driving 15 yrs myself. Just the hard hat and glasses puzzled me? Don't need that crap here just to load a truck in the street like these guys. Unless the sky starts falling on my head, or acid is getting sprayed at my face by killer snakes who spray killer acid in peoples eyes on forklifts?.
Only Parking enforcement, Law Enforcement and the Fire Department have the authority to move a legally parked vehicle, not the shop owner or folk lift operator, the damage caused to the under carriage would be at the folk lift operator expense, for improperly lifting the car.
20 Beresford Ave, Greenacre NSW 2190, Australia
That's where it is
PMHaroldHolt comdi
I would sue the living fuck out of them.
I just don't get who would be stupid enough to film something like this and put it on the internet. Did it ever occur to them that the owner could file a lawsuit? that little stunt could cost them thousands of dollars and if there is anything damaged. At least they got a viral video out of it right?
rocpet3 It looks like it was filmed by the truck driver, who probably works for a distributor and is not directly associated with the guys driving the forklift for whatever store this is.
the owner is gonna get a headache... "I could swear I parked it on the other side" lol
Guaranteed bottom damage like flattened exhaust pipe
I Exported a few hundred Hyundais to East Europe. All had exhaust pipes flattened when unloaded from train in this way.
At least they're careful not to scratch it
worldpeace32 a scratch???! that's cosmetic issues. the entire frame of that car is probably ruined. the forklift arms layer across the entire vehicle and now there is probably irriversable twisting in the body and frame. not to mention he may have damaged or ruptured fuel line or gas tank, bent or even punctured the chassis.
When the owner gets back... "Oh crap, I've got Alzheimer's!"
When the owner gets back... "Oh crap, I've got Alzheimer's!"
Weapon of mass construction yeah then the car sets fire from fuel leak after they start it
Vehicle larceny (even if it is just 20 feet). I hope the owner made a police report. And demanded compensation from the company for the cost of checking and fixing the structural integrity of the car.
saxman642 The driver probably thought they just remembered incorrectly where they parked. The damage probably wasn't noticed until their next check-up (or when they saw this video).
In the good old USA they would've been charged with property damage, car jacking. No ands if's or buts that's the way it's is over here. But depending on where in the USA they most likely been shot by the owner and justafiably so.
+Richard Allemon Shot for damaging a possession God i hate america... thank god this is australia.
Many years ago an idiot moved shoved my car with a snow plow. The jackass ended up paying me more then the car was worth to fix it. It was either that or the local police were going to arrest him. That forklift driver has to have certification so it makes the penalty for criminal charges lot higher.
Your low IQ is shining .....dimly.
You can't "carjack" an empty car.
Property damage? Possibly, as long as you are able to prove that whatever "damage" was caused by the forklift.
justifiably*
most likely would* have* been shot
No ifs*, ands* or buts,* that's the way it* is over here.
NSW roads do more damage to your car, than the forklift. Better to move than maybe damage when unloading a truck unsafely.
Good old cardboard for saving your car from scrapes
that is so illegal. undercarriage totally messed up now
That was quite a Chinese takeaway.
Environmental Health Hazard fucked up raciest comment...
No name Pretty funny racist comment. The Chinese are the most racist people ever.
No name That's not even racist. Its a joke but I guess you got triggered because you're too sensitive
My friend had construction workers move her car this way and parked it in front of a fire exit. Subsequently her car was towed.
man ur friend must be pissed
How did things turn out?
She got her vehicle back from the towing company and was reimbursed by the building contractor who moved it in front of the fire exit.
Can fuck up the exhaust doing it with a fork lift. I would of flipped if someone did that shit to my car.
Perm?
+iTheGeek Lmao
noooo you wouldnt. youd hop in and climb into the boot and cry yourself to sleep.
Whoever the forklift operator should have their forklift license revoked indefinitely. The car was legally parked on the side of the road, and they had no right to touch the person's property whatsoever. If they were getting a big truck delivery or pickup coming in, , they should have pre planned it, and made sure the street was clear in advance, if it be the workers parking their cars there in early morning hours before anybody else had a chance to. The world doesn't revolve around any particular business, they need to should have pre planned instead touch somebody else's property. You better believe if this was my car, this company would be paying for a very thorough inspection of the vehicle to make sure no damage was done, and be paying for the damage if any was found. People commenting saying that it won't damage a car, and some are commenting that it will. I don't know much about cars, but I do know that they aren't always built the same, just because you have lifted a car and it has not been damaged, doesn't mean all cars will not be damaged using the same method to move the vehicle. If Australia has any type of OSHA, there were many safety violations using a forklift to raise a car. If there are any laws about illegal towing of a vehicle, I think this would have to fit into that category, because I cannot think of whatever other law it would fall under.
I would beat the life from those ass holes
If that were my car I'd be happy. See the driver and the company in court.....my evidence.....damage plus RUclips video kindly donated.
lol...bye bye driveshaft
If it’s parked correctly then why does it have to be moved?
This would really have confused the poor fellow that owns this vehicle.
Crunched catalytic converter or exhaust pipe? DOH!
this is just awesome:D ... much better than towing the car with poor owner's expense ... Very thoughtful.
i'd be fucking pissed, if that was my car.
if I was witness to this I would have called the police. all 3 would have been arrested and fired...
+Lunas Eclipse fired? it was most likely the boss who did it or told them to do it and definitely not arrested its more of a civil matter for the courts to decide all the cops would do is take details down
Not really not sure what crime it could be called but the company would be on the hook for even the smallest scratch or dent put in it. To keep the car owner off the company in court the peons or even supervisor would be fired. And for this type of work there is not a shortage of butts to fill spots...
It really depends if they caused damage and they most certainly did. And how pissed the car owner is. If they are very lucky it was a rental and the driver is an air head and does not realize which side it was parked on. By lifting it like they did they would have caused frame damage if they managed to avoid pinching or breaking fuel rails or brakeing systems or electrical. The immediate thing to notice would be the doors not opening right or closing right. Next assuming the car starts if the brakes work emergency cable.
And a few charges maybe applicable grand theft auto, intentional destruction of property, reckless endangerment.
They should have knocked on the door asked for the owner to move it. Or called a licensed tow company to remove it and issue the parking ticket. Or found another route.
What a pack of fuck wits!!
They would have met the buisiness end of a Louisville slugger!!
If this was your Ford, I recognised that this is Beresford Ave, Greenacre, & truck must've wanted to reverse into 4X4-R-Us Japanese Auto Parts, 22- 26 Beresford Ave, Greenacre NSW 2190 (02) 97903844
Or....you can contact the trucker who posted this.
be funny if the owner was at breaking point already and came out to his car and saw that, man i can only imagine what could come of it
that would of done damage to the sills/chassis rails
probably asians know martial arts so most likely nothing
Imagine the pranks you could pull...
Nic Neufeld and pulling money out your wallet when you get sued...
Nic Neufeld - imagine your sexy lips kissing mine :)
In all 50 states., it is a felony to take someones car regardless of distance traveled or reason for the theft., the only people who may remove a vehicle without owners consent is police, fire or an authorized representative.
Cowboy forklift driver. If he has a license he more than likely got from the back of a cornflakes packet.
I dont understand why people like this think their faces are invincible to a bat.....
if that was mine and I caught them......Oh boy!
at least they put a card board to protect the car😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Why tilt the fork? Just so it can tear up the underside of the car? These guys are stupid on so many levels.
that's how you operate a forklift. You tilt the forks back to move the weight distribution towards the forklift to prevent it from tipping forward. Forklifts easily tilt forward.
Understandable, but I don't think the fork made it to the other side of the car, I bet it dented the undercarriage.
Andrew Campbell Blade was plenty long. Probably left marks underneath no matter how the blades were tilted.
What the fork was wrong with them?
ㅤㅤ Trolololollolol, reported.
Sue the workers the company they work for for 1 million dollars. The are involved in car theft and are damaging private property.
New oil pan, brake lines, U-joints, drive shaft, exhaust, and rocker panels- $9,000
Cardboard paint protector- $priceless.
what???? what are u smoking theat did no damige to the car thats how cars get lifted up in machanic shops cars have a frame around it thats strong ment for lifting dont sread false info if you dont know anything about cars
They're both resting in piss now
i would have beat the fuck outta that guy if it was my car!
bro its australia no ones gonna fuckin shoot you
even russian don't do this
+komchan thamtthong They put the forks through the door and lift it that way.
No in Russia they just run over it with a tank so it flat enough for the backing truck to drive over
what a bunch of morons! i hope these guys got sued and fired.
Everyone stop complaining about the underbody it's perfectly fine because theirs cardboard underneath (sarcasm btw)
I've seen this done when I worked construction. The fork lift operator was immediately fired lol
you should call this the Ford lift haha not folk
TheGarage Gaming folk? It's fork...
Kyle Riley shot myself with that one auto correct :(
Not really. Fork is a word, so it wouldn't have autocorrected it.
Blake Harrison If a fork is an eating utensil, then it is a word. geez some people will never learn.
Joshua Williams Haha I still blame my phone for that one ;)
These ppl was actually nice compared with other videos I have seen here. :)
if it was my car i would take my rifle an shoot them.. fucking retards.......
mats nilsson I'll bet you're a good person.
mats nilsson No you wouldn't cause you'd be in Australia where the nanny state government bans people from owning guns
Dun Hilda
There's also 296 million more people in the USA. So it's not odd that there's more crime.
There's also 310 million privately owned guns in the U.S. that's almost 14 times the population of Australia.
sd-dirt There is a far, far lower per capita gun death in Australia. however, the introduction of gun laws had (afaik) no measurable effect on the decline in gun deaths form the 10 yrs prior to the 10yrs after. No mass shootings since though.
neoxaero Especially after they post intentions to shoot people.
And unicorns fart rainbows............ That is the reply to anyone who doesn't think this car was was damaged in the process.
and of course it is asians
No they were Chinese. Get it right. Don’t lump us all together.
When I saw the thumbnail I assumed this was in some third world country where this kind of thing would happen, then I noticed the NSW plates!
it's wrong but you gotta admit that was funny and somehow skillful.
It would have been skillful if he knew the center of gravity the first try. And spreading the forks more would have been too easy.
They all would've worn an ass whippin', if that had been my car.
Truummmmmmmp!!!!
yes, the trumpet is sounding. It's so loud my ears are ringing.
I might be the only one here that's also lifted a vehicle with a fork lift. Believe it or not it's no different than lifting a car with a chassis hoist. If it's fwd there is no transmission or driveshaft to get in the way. Most fuel/brake lines are protected from damage in case you bottom out on a curb or speed bump. The exhaust components are usually mounted higher than the subframe side rails. Just look at where the jack points are on a car, that's right, not too far from where they picked it up from. The driver may have spread his forks a bit wider would be my only recommendation. Likely even a mechanic would be hard pressed to find any damage at all.
