First job was in a book shop. The best part was unpacking new incoming books. My longest job contracts have been as forklift operator, mainly high-lifting Reach but also spent one year driving a Counterweight.

Work at a forklift start-up as we speak. Really not a mechanical guy at all, but it’s still really interesting as it’s a completely new world for me 💜
Forklifts changes how you interact with the environment. Once you are in the seat you are one with the machine. The forks become extensions of your mind.🙏
Damn, never really thought about it like that, but it really makes sens eif you put it like that 💜🫶
I'm always impressed by how fast and accurate a great fork driver is and also how spatially aware you need to be of everything around
Thanks. Some of my colleagues would sometimes walk across the shipping area reading their phones while walking and they were safe every time. No injuries in 20+ years of driving. 😎
