Re: Tech can bite you in unusual ways
Sorry, one more forklift story. Not really tech-related unless you say that the dropped load was a new computer-controlled (CNC) lathe/mill.
Anyone who knows workshop metal lathes, knows that most of the weight tends to be at the top..?
When you move a lathe, or any top-heavy load, it's a good idea to chain/strap it to the moving vehicle. The guy with the forklift didn't. The heaviest part was soon at the bottom (on the concrete road), and the bed of the £12,000 lathe (late 1980's prices), broke in two. Not a bad morning's work, eh? :D
