Ok so this elevator prank wasn’t born with a great deal of thought but it is affective all the same. 

These two bored young lads seem to have hit upon a great way of passing time as well annoying everyone who enters the elevator. They simply wait for a person or persons to enter the lift and as the door keeps shutting they run up and re-open the doors by pressing the button. 

Like I said not rocket science but effective all the same and they top it off capturing their escapades on tape.  Love to be there when they first get caught!!

You’ve heard of the phrase ‘The world comes crashing down around you’ well for this Russian forklift driver the phrase became reality as one minor mistake has gigantic repercussions after he accidently slams his forklift truck into a support beam bringing down an entire shelving system which collapses down and inward, onto the forklift.

Luckily for the driver he escaped with minor injuries but considering he wrecked £250,000 of Russian vodka I have a feeling he won’t be coming back to work too soon.

The video highlights the sort of dangers that forklift drivers must face on a daily basis and how it only takes one second to lose your concentration before everything comes crashing down around you.

This massive crane crashes during the construction of a new stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in US on July 14th 1999. The heavy lifting crane is attempting to move a huge piece of steel over the stadium when the wind causes the crane to collapse under the gigantic weight.

This incident claimed the lives of 3 construction workers as well as causing massive amounts of damage to the building.

It highlights the dangers facing construction workers each day.

This is the SMV Lift Truck a giant 60-tonne super forklift truck capable of handling 40-tonnes of steel blooms at temperatures of up to 800 degrees C. 

Two of these forklifts were recently supplied to Multiserv Group in Rotherham to handle the steel mill services for its customers.  The forklifts solve the issue the company had providing the solution for handling high grade steel.

Brian Kilminster is quoted as saying “”When we understood the new process it was clear we’d need a forklift to move the steel between the casters and the cooling stillages.”

Multiserv realized there was no truck in the world that was capable of what they needed it to do.  So after several detailed reviews Cooper SH had to specially design a special forklift carriage capable of completing the work.

Take a look at this gargantuan crane call The Titan.  The Titan is a floating crane built by Germany during World War 2 and claimed by the US at the end of the war. 

It has been used since 1999 in Panama on the ship canal and is used to unload heavy equipment to maintain the doors of the locks on the canal. 

For the previous 50 years before being moved to Panama the crane was used at the port in Long Beach, Californina.  It can lift an unbelievable 350 metric tons and is still one of the strongest cranes in the world today.

I bet you didn’t know that the longest travelator in the world is in Hong Kong did you? 

Running from Central Hong Kong to the Mid-levels residential areas the journey lasts for about 20 minutes and goes downhill from 6am-10am and then to uphill from 10am-Midnight.

Residents very much appreciate the new travelator after years of trekking the steep slopes from Central Hong Kong to Mid-levels.
