An Australian TikTok user has posted bizarre footage of a forklift at a fast food drive-thru.

The incident occurred in Melbourne, when the tradesman was spotted driving his forklift through a Hungry Jacks (Burger King) drive thru to grab a meal.

The man's bold stunt has seen him hailed a hero by social media users.

"That's legendary, what a lad," one person wrote.

"Haha pretty cool, he got to eat," another wrote.

In Australia, a forklift can be driven on a public road; however, it must be registered and have number plates.

Warning: the video contains colourful language. Watch it here.
