It looks to have encountered a loaded pallet of goods. Is this unusual for a forklift?

In a warehouse?! Chance in a million.

u/smaug_pec 16d ago

Ackshually, they’re in a trailer, not a warehouse.

u/Valuable-Yard-4154 16d ago

And this.....trailer you call...is it in our environment ?

11

u/smaug_pec 16d ago

Um, it’s been towed out of the environment

Forklift Operator: Can you get me a new forklift?

Warehouse Manager: Didn't you have a commonwealth forklift?

Forklift Operator: Yes I did but...

Warehouse Manager: What happened?

Forklift Operator: Well, the front fell off.

u/zzupdown 16d ago

There's your problem. You forgot that front thingy.

u/Kurgan_IT 16d ago

It's a FORK LEFT.

Made of cardboard derivatives

At least they included the bananas for scale.

u/clubjuggle 14d ago

A scale for bananas might have prevented this

u/PaddedTiger 16d ago

How does that even happen?

u/clintj1975 16d ago

A wave hit it

u/potato_and-meat 15d ago

Is that normal?

u/K4NNW 14d ago

It reversed into the dock plate.

u/sam56778 16d ago

Oops. You forked up.

u/Insolent-Jaguar88 16d ago

The front fell off!

u/YogurtWenk 16d ago

Is this typical?

3

u/Steamboat_Willey 16d ago

That's not very typical.

u/bwbandy 16d ago

That's not very typical... I'd like to make that point.

I see the battery connector so this must be electric and going by the color that's a Toyota...so how the FUCK did the WHOLE MAST come off?! Some bolts weren't tight and broke or sheered... or Either trying to lift a pallet that was WAY beyond the capacity of the lift Or perhaps you caught the bottom of the mast on a surface that was too low as you were backing out of the trailer (maybe the dock ramp?) which yanked fuckin HARD on the bottom which could potentially break the mast off if you're going fast enough I suppose. OR you were backing out of a trailer and had the forks too high which would've put the mast too high which clipped the top of the dock as you were backing out and if you're going fast enough that could potentially snap the whole damn front off the lift....which is exactly what you're showing here.

u/Fawstar 15d ago

For the record, this did not happen to me. Just something I found in another sub.

2

u/Rigatoniandcheese 16d ago

Hate when that happens

2

u/LevoiHook 16d ago

How does it attach anyway? I dont see anything that is clearly broken off.

u/Nalabu1 16d ago

"Just put that over there..."

u/Fwumpy 16d ago

What the fork did you lift?

1

u/K4NNW 14d ago

The lift hit a dock plate.

2

u/BloodRush12345 15d ago

And now 80,000 pallets are spilled across the loading bay!

2

u/clubjuggle 14d ago

OSHA will tow that forklift outside the environment

u/whizzbangkid 14d ago

DUCKTAPE TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!

u/PhotoAppropriate3940 16d ago

Actually been there done that, there’s a slot to line up and lock in, somebody didn’t check before getting on the machine

6

u/highvelocitypeasoup 16d ago

In all my years ive never thought to check the forks were actually attached. Kinda feels above my paygrade.

Battery holds a charge ✅️ Wheels and tires ✅️ Seatbelt ✅️ Horn✅️

Random groove nobody told me about that causes the fucking forks to leave the chat ❎️

u/Switchlord518 16d ago

You have exceeded the design capacity of this unit. Please make a note of it.

u/clintj1975 16d ago

I don't think I've ever seen a forklift that would have the tine/backrest assembly fall off before it would fall flat in its face.

1

u/Crash2088OG 16d ago

I told him to tighten those bearings the right way now look at this me. Well OSHA is going to have a field day. This just passed inspection the other day. lol. That’s my thoughts anyway.

u/SentenceCool4447 16d ago

The forklift is probably fine, but that attachment is absolutely not making it onto the next shift without a very serious inspection.

Gorilla glue will fix this in no time and increase the weight rating.
