Yeah, I'm wondering how they got that thing back on its wheels. Thats 4000-5000 lbs that you just cant pick up and upright.

That employee is so damn lucky he turned around when he did. The things in that room would've crushed him.

Good lord that is some wild shit. Gravity is a helluva thing. I seriously said "Hooooly shiiit" about three times that video. The one where the guy is sitting in the middle of the tables and chairs and whizzes by at like 20 mph made me burst out in laughter lol

I would guess 2-3k, but still very heavy. That guy ran at the right time. Feel sorry for that lady who got nailed in the back though. Can you say lawsuit?

a 4k WLL rated forklift weighs like 8-9000 lbs. That thing weighs at least 3 tons

Is that the model in the vid? Looks a bit smaller IMO.

Given the work area where the fork lift was, I would assume they have an over head crane.

I'm AMAZED if no one was killed.

Dang man. Yeah looks like they didn't know the rule of the sea, grab ahold of something that is bolted down.

Most forklifts are in the 6-9000lb range. I used to work on them, yada yada.
