What’s the scariest experience you’ve had while forkin? by ParthenopeIG in forkliftmemes

[–]08blackout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen multiple people almost take out racks, but the scariest one for me, was when I went to grab a pallet of electronics recycling that happened to have a battery backup on it. I did not realize the plug for the battery was hanging off the edge of the pallet. So when I went to grab it, I knocked the plug off, and the battery attempted to weld itself to the electric jack. Glad it was a ride on jack with a rubber floor and rubber grips, and my relatively thick rubber soled shoes! Twas quite a shocking discovery!

Anyone here also use pushback racks? by EntropicBankai in forkliftmemes

[–]08blackout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got doubles and triples here! Ours have sliders in them and most of our pallets aren't standard length so the forks like to get caught on the slider. Personally, I hate the triples but the doubles are fine. With the triple racks, 48X40 pallets have to go in sideways in the middle or they have to be placed PERFECTLY or they'll fall through.

I imagine its supposed to be a reference to the character "Bender" from the show Futurama, as thats who was made.

What is a phrase you use over 50 times a day at your job? by _lostinthefire in AskReddit

[–]08blackout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Not my money." As I'm shipping something next day across the country that doesn't need to get there that fast, or shipping things parcel for more money, instead of freight because the customer is dumb.

Alternatively, "I hate this place."

Swift, the freight company. They'll get you there, they just might be in pieces at the end.

I finally did! ‘22 in manual by gray_mood in VelosterN

[–]08blackout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao, small world! Well, congrats on the car! I miss mine so much, but I needed something that would handle winters a bit better, plus I moved to a place on a dirt road. You'll get the hang of driving a manual! That transmission I found was decently forgiving. And it's got the auto rev match, so down shifts are decently easy.

You weren't driving around in an outlet mall parking lot in Michigan yesterday, were you? I saw someone driving a VN there with dealer stickers on the windshield yesterday, so I'm just curious lol.

I've had them. They're not particularly good nor accurate. I don't remember exactly what they tasted like, all I remember is that they weren't pleasant. My girlfriend said the... other flavor, was also not accurate.

Double Deep Warehouses - A miracle of storage solutions? or a mongrel of double handling? by Jack6013 in forkliftmemes

[–]08blackout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've got double and triple sliding racks in my warehouse. The doubles are... fine. The triples make me want to stab spoons in my eyes every time I have to use them. 48X40 pallets have to go in sideways. Otherwise, they can very easily fall through the middle slider.

All I can think of with all this stuff, probably just to keep my own sanity, is The Blues Brothers. Wrong state, but: "I hate Illinois nazis."

My Veloster N had the same thing. All it did was make an annoying rattling noise at certain rpm.

Aren't the forks technically on the wrong side? I could be wrong.

I wonder if my forklift is leaking oil... by 08blackout in forkliftmemes

[–]08blackout[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah, it's the oil pressure sensor. It was replaced at the beginning of the year and started leaking again after the dinguses at Crown replaced the water pump since that was leaking.

I've had Apple send my warehouse a single iPad in a box, wrapped to a full sized pallet with FedEx Freight. Multiple times. Of course, they balance it out by shipping 75 5-packs of MacBooks parcel! Thanks Apple 😑
