Serious stuff, forklifts.

Give it a few minutes - it gets really silly.

I love this video, been around for ages on the net, and I could watch it every day.

Incredibly funny yet disturbing.

ROFL just so silly

I remember being shown this when I was in school (I did built environment which was basically general builder/plumber/carpenter/typething), only it was all in English, it cracked me up then as it still does now, only then we was being shown it because the next day we (being the class) were going to work in a workshop which used fork trucks

O........m.......g.......that Ruled!! :d

We have an hour safety training topic every month to repeat on a yearly basis. The forktruck video always is a favorite. With the one we get to watch yearly, every accident shown results in blood spurting out of the victim's mouth. Get a foot run over, blood spurts from the mouth. Get an arm crushed, blood spurts from the mouth. Everyone loves it.

I have to say, this video far outdoes the one we watch. I am forwarding it to our plant safety coordinator. He'll get a kick out of it.

Better than Evil Dead

Well, that's a shitty first day at work there Klaus.

I stay away from evil electrical forklifts tonight, gas powered are not like that are they? Right? :P

Awesome, funniest thing I've seen all week.

Quality vid, the bit at the end with the chainsaw and the arm got me in stitches!

They are even worse, their engines are more powerful and hence faster and they are heavier and CoG is considerably higher. Believe me, it's not funny feeling driving on 2 wheels with such contraption or sliding towards pallets in a non-heated warehouse floor full of frost

Ed: Also I can tell you would-be-forklift-drivers one thing the video neglected to tell, watch the surface you're driving on, if a banana or tomato or something likewise slippery thingy goes under the the lone steering rear wheel in a 3 wheel forklift, close your eyes and hope for the best

Ahh yes, I remember this Film. It´s a few years back when I first saw it. The most impressive thing at this Film is the Voice of Egon Hoegen (he speaks most of the time what you should and not do) and how the Film is done. Back in the late 70s, early 80s we had a show called "Der 7. Sinn" (the seventh sense) in the TV which should teach us what to do and not to do in the traffic. Staplerfahrer Klaus is done in the same style and it´s really impressive that they got Egon Hoegen for this film... especially seeing how it ends

Here is a sample of what we had to watch back in the Old days (it was NOT a Comedy, even if it sounds like one today, it was really serious!):

Ah and I forgot. Egon Hoegen also spoke all Vehicle / Track descriptions in Need for Speed 1 (still the best of the Series)

Quote from buedi :

Egon Hoegen also spoke

Yes his voice is so unique.

Well, the good thing is that I'm not allowed to drive any of the buggers! At least yet.

Yes...managed to avoid the slicing forklifts tonight, but I bet I saw a duck driving one!

We have governors on ours. They can't go any quicker than a fast walk. But when the plant I work in first opened up, the trucks weren't governed. Yeah, it's quite the feeling to get one up on 2 wheels.

Poor Klaus. He didn't follow the number 1 rule! Not once did I see him PUT HIS SAFETY BELT ON! Nor did I see him stop and beep his horn at intersections or turns.... Bad Klaus, Bad!!!

wow i never knew there where people who needed to be taught that kinda stuff , its common sense , still quite funny , in a sarcastic kinda way
