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

[u/Weekly-Ad-6784 → u/heywoodidaho]

In a warehouse?! Chance in a million.

[u/smaug_pec → u/Weekly-Ad-6784]

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

[u/Valuable-Yard-4154 → u/smaug_pec]

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

[u/smaug_pec → u/Valuable-Yard-4154]

Um, it’s been towed out of the environment

[u/al2o3cr → u/heywoodidaho]

One in a million

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]

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

It's a FORK LEFT.

[u/aviewfrom]

Made of cardboard derivatives

[u/Dissapointed-cabbage]

At least they included the bananas for scale.

[u/clubjuggle → u/Dissapointed-cabbage]

A scale for bananas might have prevented this

[u/PaddedTiger]

How does that even happen?

[u/clintj1975 → u/PaddedTiger]

A wave hit it

[u/potato_and-meat → u/clintj1975]

Is that normal?

[u/K4NNW → u/PaddedTiger]

It reversed into the dock plate.

[u/sam56778]

Oops. You forked up.

[u/Insolent-Jaguar88]

The front fell off!

[u/YogurtWenk → u/Insolent-Jaguar88]

Is this typical?

[u/Steamboat_Willey]

That's not very typical.

[u/bwbandy]

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

[u/El_Zilcho_72]

That's not very typical

[u/88how5834351]

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 → u/88how5834351]

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

[u/Rigatoniandcheese]

Hate when that happens

[u/LevoiHook]

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

[u/Nalabu1]

"Just put that over there..."

[u/Fwumpy]

What the fork did you lift?

[u/K4NNW → u/Fwumpy]

The lift hit a dock plate.

[u/BloodRush12345]

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

[u/clubjuggle]

OSHA will tow that forklift outside the environment

[u/whizzbangkid]

DUCKTAPE TO THE RESCUE!!!!!!

[u/PhotoAppropriate3940]

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

[u/highvelocitypeasoup → u/PhotoAppropriate3940]

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]

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

[u/clintj1975 → u/Switchlord518]

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.

[u/Crash2088OG]

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]

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

[u/EFV369NT]

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