I don't want to do that. Got aggravated just watching it.

Wonder if I could tear up a forklift like that Nintendo I used to have. :lol:

Not a problem.

Drove tow motors, & lift trucks for two years back in the middle 80s, I use to bet lunch that I could pick a nickle up with the fork lift. Got a lot of free lunches.

I've spent a good amount of time on a tow motor. Never tried anything like that. Don't think it would be too hard though with a bit of practice time.

That's pretty cool. Also the people that say they can. The saying goes unless there is a video it didn't happen post em! :-)

I do all of my "penny-in-a-bottle" tricks with a steam roller.

I remember loosing $5 the first week I worked at a lumber yard to that trick with picking up a penny.

I quickly got that money back as soon as we got a "new" guy. I think you have to get taken on that trick

before you can become a fork truck operator.

The fun stuff is "endo" running - aka: 2 wheeling it......

The REAL trick is being able to pick up & transport a 44' long length of 10"x6"x½" box section steel through an 18' wide doorway. Sideways. ;)

Drove a fork truck for 8years.

I once removed a bullet from a guys shoulder with a forklift.

btw, I've got some oceanfront property for sale in Idaho...

It never entered my mind to pick up a coin with the forks. Tried it today just to see. Took me two sweeps to get it the first time. It bounced off the top of the fork the first try. Did it five times in a row after that. Did not try to stick it in a bottle though i have no doubt i could.

Well at least I know the beer is in good hands Mike!

When I drove a forklift at a warehouse and later a factory long ago, it was all I could do to keep from destroying the storage racks while I was destroying pallets and the boxes sitting on the pallets.

That's where a front bucket helps...if you get your bucket in just the right spot on a skid-steer loader, e.g. Bobcat or similar, you can spin in place on the rear wheels just as long as your stomach will take it. It's best if the boss is off-site at the time.
