In my experience, one millimeter (1mm) is enough to stop a full ton dead in it's tracks, while also

Edit: lol early morning commenting.

"while also completely being ignored by the pallet jack when it's not carrying something "

WHAT?! WHILE ALSO WHAT?? I CAN'T START MY DAY NOT KNOWING!

[-] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Is this your first day?

Here's your forklift certificate.

Kein Ausbildungsberuf.

This is literally an unskilled job. Except you need a certificate. Which requires ~~skill~~ sorry: training and practice.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Ah thanks, that gives some context because I didn’t really understand. Also, I was just tasting the word Gabelstaplerfahrer because it sounds funny when you say it fast.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

German is easy like that.

Gabel = fork
Stapler = stacker
Farher= driver

The etymology of these words is pretty far out, but it's technically the same as forklift driver. I don't know. To me it's the same picture.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah I know, I can speak German but it still has funny sounding words :D

[-] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Don't bother, they already got him.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Might be because lifting a full ton up a milimeter by hand isn't easy?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I mean.... You're not wrong.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Nice I'm using that next time I get laid

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Chippy boi also can bounce a 8k lb forklift with no struggle.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Oh... no... the flashbacks... no-no-no-wait-wait-wait

[-] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Vibrating, bouncing, and grinding to a halt

[-] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

aaaand there goes the whole pallet

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I'm pissed it took me a few seconds to 'get' this.

How do I reapply?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I don’t get it. Unless it’s talking about how hard it is to eat fries with a fork?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It's a wood chip, not a fry chip. Even the smallest of bumps is enough to cause a pallet jack to grind to a stop. Instead of rolling over the "obstacle", the things are heavy enough and the wheels are small enough that they just can't, so they stop. Then you have to back it up and kick whatever dust speck it hit out of the way before continuing.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Huh. I had no idea, but it makes sense. Thanks!

A little obstacle like a wood chip on the ground will jam up the pallet jack and stop it from moving

[-] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

If you’re in a warehouse where everything is on a pallet, they’re everywhere.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Manual forklift is a godsend for moving heavy stuff.

Small wood chip will render it immobile

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

If this were [email protected], the pallet jack would be the balrog, and the wood chip would be Gandalf.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I let out a frustrated howl. Good meme!

Forklifts are fun to drive honestly
