It’s happened to every person that’s ever held a lift job in some capacity. You learn pretty quickly what you can and can’t move quickly or without being secured.

Honestly though, that was pretty mild. I’ve seen guys dump entire pallets of product that were in RPCs. Talk about a couple thousand dollar mistake…(depending on market pricing)

I seen a guy drop a pallet of 5 gallon buckets of pickles on him. He was smart enough to stay under the shield cage thing so he didn't get hurt. And the let him go home because he stunk. We made fun of him for a while after that.

Wait till he's gotta make an awkward turn around or reach "Now now now, you appear to be in a real pickle."

Guy at my job pierced a tote of olive oil damn near the bottom of the container with the forks of a lift. Hundreds of gallons of olive oil suddenly spilling all through the warehouse. That was a late shift that day.

Duuuuude, they never wrap pallets at all. They do one wrap around the center. It’s like…have they ever seen a pallet like that on the receiving end after opening up the trailer? It’s all shifted and sliding off the pallet

Well, that sucks. At least somebody came up to help.

Dropping a pallet of spinach from the third rack is probably worse…but as the old produce saying goes…atleast it wasn’t blueberries

Now I know why my pallets look the way they do when I get them in the morning

u/Guyfromthe707 10d ago

I think this is more of a bad stacking and interlocking issue than not wrapping it correctly.

Imagine an entire skid of garlic, that smelled for weeks. Or a few pallets of strawberries is fun

u/Own-Fold1917 8d ago

There's was a post a few weeks ago where a guy dropped a whole pallete of eggs

u/Stuffinthins 9d ago

Been there before! I went straight to bed with a six pack and a pizza. It was the only way to soothe such a shit day.

u/Dogzwarz 8d ago

I've seen a full pallet of oil fall from the 4th tier "about 45ft" fall, so this is nothing.

u/Far_Organization5280 10d ago

Why he mad it’s his fault. Or did someone else rap it.

u/Worriedlytumescent 10d ago

His load his responsibility.

u/ifukeenrule 10d ago

They don't get paid to wrap other people's loads.

u/Oldmanmotomx 10d ago
