I tell my customer's operators to 'drive the heck out of it, I need the work'.
I don't think they are likely to do what I want, as soon as I leave, anyway.

Okay, quit fighting over who did it first... jeez. Still skill! 24 years in the biz & I couldn't! (Well, without LOTS of practice)
Encourage your CUSTOMERS to have this (type of) skill, too. Then their trucks last longer, no one gets hurt, etc...
It IS and industrial machine - use it well.

"who developed the coin trick about 10 years ago."

That's interesting, I've been doing the flip the coin trick for over 20 years and it was taught to me by a guy who had been doing it for years before that. As far as putting it into a bottle, that's no more impressive other than the patience required to do it.

I guess mine is not hurting myself after spending 35 years working on them, except for the time I thought I smashed my finger moving a fork. Ran to the doctor and he looked at it and said, "yah, what do you want me to do about it, you're ok, if your fingernail turns black you can come back and I can drill a hole in it"

When Linde first merged with Baker, they had a guy that could flip open a zippo lighter and light it with a gas Linde.
My "special forklift trick have you mastered" would be feeding my family by repairing them... lol.

I have seen part of this trick this done before, many years ago. Flipping a coin onto the fork arms is not new. However, I haven't seen the end of this before, but I question the practice of jerking the fork arms to re-position the coin in preparation for the drop into a bottle or container. Surely, this puts undue pressure and potential shock wear onto the valves, hoses, chains and cylinders that is detrimental to the machine.

Great for showing off and for showing great dexterity of control, but do we really want to encourage operators to do this as a matter of normality? All it really proves is that theinstructor is a show-off!
