    In my experience, one millimeter (1mm) is enough to stop a full ton dead in it’s tracks, while also

            Kein Ausbildungsberuf.

            This is literally an unskilled job. Except you need a certificate. Which requires skill sorry: training and practice.

              Ah thanks, that gives some context because I didn’t really understand. Also, I was just tasting the word Gabelstaplerfahrer because it sounds funny when you say it fast.

                German is easy like that.

                Gabel = fork
                Stapler = stacker
                Farher= driver

                The etymology of these words is pretty far out, but it’s technically the same as forklift driver. I don’t know. To me it’s the same picture.

      Might be because lifting a full ton up a milimeter by hand isn’t easy?

      A little obstacle like a wood chip on the ground will jam up the pallet jack and stop it from moving

        If you’re in a warehouse where everything is on a pallet, they’re everywhere.

      Manual forklift is a godsend for moving heavy stuff.

      Small wood chip will render it immobile

    How do I reapply?

        It’s a wood chip, not a fry chip. Even the smallest of bumps is enough to cause a pallet jack to grind to a stop. Instead of rolling over the “obstacle”, the things are heavy enough and the wheels are small enough that they just can’t, so they stop. Then you have to back it up and kick whatever dust speck it hit out of the way before continuing.
