Ahaha i deliver to an industrial store that has one of these for huge pipes.
I had two pallets that normally id have to pallet jack and roll to the rear. He just drove up and grabbed both one on each fork and sandwiched them together signed my bills and threw a peace sign. Not a word exchanged.
I was around for a machine install at a large wheel foundry way back when. Can't remember the model of the forklift but it was easily 20ft wide and had to weigh 50 tons.
I've been loaded/unloaded by some big ol Hyster lifts that could handle the whole flatbed load in one go.
I've also been loaded by some chonky claw type lifts loading up 90-110 ft power poles, watching those guys finesse them to put the poles within a few inches of where I wanted them was pretty impressive.
I used to work at a steel mill, and most of the fork lifts that ran around there were the massive ones that moved around massive slabs of steel like it's nothing. You could see them from a second story window and when they rolled by it felt like an earthquake.
Hey it’s a union gig. Three 5 gallon jug limit then a break. A few more years a fat pension. 3 months after retirement massive heart attack dead. wtf am I going on about lol
Seen a guy roll up to a tire shop with forklift from the junkyard that was closeby. It was mabye this size or just a bit smaller. Guy was size huge, the forklift fit him. Big bald head with something that looked like a pumpkin with an extra bulge growing off that. Bib overalls that I dunno they made anything that big. When he dismounted, the front Duals compacted and the forklift tipped a bit and went back straight after dismounting. This somehow reminds me of this.

It's his favorite forklift. I bet he can do everything with it and be comfy at the same time.
