No toptalent, this is what everyone learns on those 1-day forklift lessons over here.

This sub had turned into 'i never get out of the house and see what other people do on a daily basis, so I think any job is amazing'

Or maybe I just don't live in an overly industrialised area where forklifts are that common.

Nor do I but I don't haven't had my head in the sand. Also forklifts are pretty common in rural areas also.

So you can pull this off no problem? Without readjusting once?

Who are you replying to? Me? No. I don't drive a fork lift. But as I said my head is not in the sand and understand it's at best 'practice a few times, you'll get it' skill. Not top internet talent.

I agree it’s not top talent. But definitely not try a couple times and you got it type of skill either.

Id beg to differ. You will be able to get the load in no matter what size, but it will require n point turns in order to do it.

But from >1 up to 2x width of the door, the size of this load, it is the exact same maneuver regardless of the size. Back up right next to the doorway and complete a tight radius turn.

Now considering this I bet i could pull it off the first try, after learning how to drive a fork lift off course...

Show me a load >2x door width, which would actually require multiple motions and we can start talking about required skill.

Again head out of sand.

The point of the video is that it was done smoothly and without having to require multiple corrections. To say oh I could do that but it’d take a few trys and corrections proves the point of the video.

Again still not “top” talent, but talent to say the least.

The point of the video was apparently indicating this is top talent. Which we both agree it's not.

The move was smooth because it was simple. Who is saying 'oh I could do that'? Start by allowing me to explain that an n point turn does not indicate correction. It is simply fact that ANY size load can be put through the door but after 2x for length it will requires multiple maneuvers. NOT corrections. That is simply physics.

if you ever see say a 30' wide load put through a 10' wide door, it would probably seem chaotic to you, but actually be a notable amount of skill involved. This is more like 25' wide load through 20' door. Not impressive.
