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 "

Kein Ausbildungsberuf.

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

[-] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 1 points 2 weeks 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.

[-] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

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

Don't bother, they already got him.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Nice I'm using that next time I get laid

[-] Macropolis@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] D61@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Vibrating, bouncing, and grinding to a halt

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

aaaand there goes the whole pallet

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

[-] witheyeandclaw@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 weeks ago

Manual forklift is a godsend for moving heavy stuff.

Small wood chip will render it immobile

[-] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

If this were !lotrmemes@midwest.social, the pallet jack would be the balrog, and the wood chip would be Gandalf.

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

How do I reapply?

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] atocci@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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.

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

I let out a frustrated howl. Good meme!

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Forklifts are fun to drive honestly
