      Same here, my dad worked as a stevedore at a wharf. He used to take me and my other 2 brothers early in the morning to his work place before heading off to school and in the arvo we would head back to his wrkplace. That's where my interest developed and was absolutely facinated with how these huge heavy machines operate and will stare at them in awe as my dad or his wrkmates operated frm a safe distance.
      Apparently later in life I become a teacher but that did not deter me from my child hood likening, obviously in my mind I told myself" I ll learn to drive these dam machineries...
      Off course after my dad passed on I become a teacher which was what my dad had wanted of his children following into my 2 older siblings curreer paths.I taught for16 years, quited, I've switched to being a logistics officer, drives counter balance and high reach forklift and it's totally more stress free. I'm hoping to do a course on container stacker ,that would def be a dream come true am just enjoying every bit of it....
      I love watching these clips on warehouse esp..with counter balance or high reach forklifts or container stackers....its either I'm watching these video clips or immersed in my Sydney Sheldon novels....pple would say I'm pretty boring but th@'s where my interest lies

      B C-S that's when things get damaged or accidents occur. I'd rather take 30 minutes to offload a truck, efficiently, and safely than do it recklessly in 15 minutes. Or take an extra minute to get a pallet down or to put a pallet up. Cant setup unrealistic expectations for warehouses with orders but the head people don't see it that way. Fortunately I only work at home depot so I don't always have to deal with orders. But typically items from the 3rd party warehouses will be damaged. Even sometimes in store. Usually damaged by the forklift because they rushed and just plowed right into it.

You might be faster than he is but I’m willing to bet you’re pallets end up broken, aisles dirty and I’m sure if you were supervised, you would be unsafe. But go head greased lightning 🤙

    From 2007 to 2009 i worked in a reachtruck warehouse.. Reachtrucks where from the brand Jungheinrich. That where such a great machines. Such smooth driving and well built. 3 phase drive motor, steering wheel can rotate infinitely which makes turning around very smooth. And a joystick to control everything: right to reach out, left to reach in, pull back to move up and forward to go down. I feel sad at the thought that i will never be on such machines anymore as i have my software engineering diploma now.

    All the comments are calling the goofiest, weirdest shit "safety violations". Steel toe boots are appreciated but not necessary at every company, reflector vests are not mandated at any company i've ever heard of besides Amazon, driving forks forward on a Raymond reach is okay as long as you're not carrying anything so tall you can't see in front of your face, there's nothing wrong with moving a pallet by hand. Everyone please tell me what companies you all work for so i can know to never work there. I've been on the safety committee at several warehouse jobs and i've never seen anyone complain about "moving a pallet by hand". What? Moving a 15 pound piece of wood with your hands is a safety violation? Maybe you should inform the receiving departments of every warehouse in existence where they do that all damn day.

    • @appleintosh
      @appleintosh 7 лет назад +1

      Collin Stacy I work in the distribution center of one of the largest biotech companies in the US and everybody in the DC is required to wear reflective vests and have steel toes. They even have loaner vests and slip on toe caps for visitors. We also have to wear gloves and eye protection when handling dry ice and liquid nitrogen. They’re pretty strict about all this stuff.
      We don’t have any rules about which way we can drive the forklifts or not lifting pallets by hand.

    • @TheBigMak69
      @TheBigMak69 7 лет назад +1

    • @orangeadventure975

      Moving pellets by hand will take energy in the long run depending on the size of the warehouse. You have no way of pulling it if it weight too much. There's the thing that the truck is a vehicle and you are able to get to a place. Yes, trucks are for companies where you timestamp and where you must finish tasks on accord. For smaller companies moving pellet by hand is fine since you won't reach that far. Smaller companies are able to have in time where priority is put on what's important. In practice because we have trucks we should use them.

You have to pull something out of the racks and turn with all that weight in the air because the isles are super narrow. Just one 90° turn and immediately lower the forks to get the product as low to the floor as possible.

      In the 90s I used to service forklifts at a place that had aisles stupidly narrow. We kept a couple of tiny old lifts that were so old we often had to fabricate parts for them. They couldn't find anything else that would fit and still make it over the busted up concrete floors. They tried a couple different order pickers but they were constantly getting stuck.
      The guys who drove those things really were skilled at working in tight places. They also would drive them to destruction without ever mentioning something was wrong until the end of the shift. "Um... B.Denton , yeah my lift is overheating now and then". I'd check it and the cooling system was dry as a bone and the cooling fan was wobbling around like a drunk because the bearing had completely failed.
      Those things were a testament to 1940s American engineering and flathead engine design. They were a pain but I can't think of anything else I've ever worked on that had been so heavily used and abused.

    He should have pulled out the pallet on the ground out first, then put in the full pallet. Then lift the pallet with the one case on it to waist level, and put it in on the floor of the pallet he put in . One less move, and your not dragging the pallet out by hand. He could have cut his finger and your not bending your back every move.

    God I loved driving this model. I found that I liked Raymond more than Crown, the Raymond was nice and smooth, and you can move while lowering or raising the forks. The Crown is more twitchy and can only do one thing at a time.

    Some kind of retail store disribution warehouse.
    I once operated narrow isle lifts for Bridgestone -Firestone ,handling agricultural tires,the isles were only eight feet wide and and there were no racks for stacking on,they used specialized pallets that were free standing and can be stacked on top of one another four high.
    I also operated picker lifts where the operator moves up and down with the forks and pallets to hand select items well above the floor,always wear harnesses when doing so.
    No one should be moving any items while the boom is high in the air,first pick up load slightly to clear rack,second retract load fully back to tne boom,third lower the load all the way to the floor slightly above the lifts out riggers,fourth check behind you and then proceed to move to your next location while looking away from your forks and load you are carrying.
    Use your horn at blind intersections or when you are coming out of picker isles into main traffic isles.
    I also noticed alot of empty rack locations inside of that warehouse?but the person we were watching was restocking those racks.

      In my country they don't care to tell if you should drive backward or forward, just drive smoothly. Every education is like this: You should have 10 years of experience to make the course but to make the course you must had already worked 10 years without being exposed without license. The system is so programmed that companies place their employees to do these courses only if they're exposed and the hired has to lie so that their tongues are blue. This went so far that the education program was corrupted that they had to enforce licenses. The employee has no guilty of lying and the employer is enforced to educate them, at the same time it's not since for what she or he knows she or he have no employees without a license. That's the art of making a side skill into a main profession. You can replace them anytime.
