Finalist Penny, from the Cadbury team

This week on World Forklift League:

It started with five operators, now there are three and tonight we find out which two drivers will proceed to the grand final to become the World Forklift League Champion. For this sudden death elimination round Penny, Eli & Nick are at the Taieri Airfield for two new challenges, Forklift Puzzle and Slalom Shuffle.

Pallet Puzzle: It's all about speed. A jigsaw puzzle made of pallets. The first driver to complete the puzzle wins.

Forklift Shuffle: competitors must select and stack the pallets of their team colours, from a jumbled colour stack

About the competition:

Set in Dunedin, five teams from around New Zealand compete over 11 weeks, to decide who will be crowned the World Forklift League Champion for 2015.

The hosts and competitors of World Forklift League.

The competition consists of 5 teams - each with a driver and support crew of 2 or 3. All teams use a Crown C-5 Series LPG truck to perform challenges that test driver accuracy and speed from forklift golf, to completing a jigsaw puzzle made of pallets. Catch up on full episodes here.

World Forklift League, a unique reality sports programme, a family entertainment show appealing to all ages, celebrates our factory floor workers, often the unsung heroes in our community.


The grand final will take place on 15 October 2015.
