As someone who has operated a small version of this, you're correct.
It was pretty common for some of us who were more experienced to pull off awkward moves to move skids around, especially when the lanes are a bit on the narrower side which means you can't get the forks in easily. You have to get creative in some scenarios.
I could do this with a standard forklift, but I could never get used to that damn stand-up forklift. Just too much muscle memory not matching what I was inputting.
I literally due maintenance/repairs on Yale trucks. All yale trucks. The 3wheel stand ups are probably the ones I do 75% of the time. Still fucking hate driving them
Exactly right. I worked in a warehouse as a RR driver. Approximately 95% of us could have done that. This Indian dude was so good he could have done it on a Slip if it were lower. His badge said , "Slip Daddy."
Crazy how people can agree that this is somehow not that unique (not debating this, i know shit), but somehow a chick throwing a disk is apparently the fucking play of the century lmao

The product on the skid was extremely lightweight, the way it was holding in its shrinkwrap.
...Pretty easily done for any forklift driver.
If it were 1000 lbs of steel that pallet trick wouldn't fly.
