Please explain

Having done some forklift driving this picture caught my eye. The biggest I drove was about 7t so it wasn't in that league. And I've had the back wheels lift but not as spectacularly as that. That will cost thousands to get the forklift back on its wheels.

I imaging that the driver would have been asked that, next time he is passing the manager's office he might like to drop in and explain himself!

Nice one David I have seen that happen when I worked at a timber yard, can be quite spectacular to see, if no injuries occur.

This was the aftermath of a storm at one of the sites my wife works at. The container was picked up by the wind and dumped on the container truck used for loading. My wife decided to go home and let everyone else figure out how to get it down.
