It happens when you do sketchy stuff in a hurry with a forklift.
I dropped this table on it. But it was full turtle upside down when it landed.
[ATTACH=full]340899[/ATTACH]
The thick part is 2 inches thick. The thin under it is full size of the area and 1/2 thick. 6 inch I beams, cross braces of 4 by 4 quarter wall, and lovely 8 inch schedule 80 pipe legs making it a heavy biotch.
I have moved it before but scrounged an unoccupied lift of another type this go around, poor choice. It was a side boom capable unit and being the tight quarters I had the mast 90 degrees to the lift truck and fully extended. Needless to say it's a little sloppy cranked over and all the way out. Unlevel load and a small brake tap from someone telling me to stop abruptly and she slid off my forks. Duh....bad day to be in a hurry. The lift was creeping but the hurry was not lifting it level. Forks would not catch the other side. The I-beam height had it at a good "Detroit Lean". The highest part off the floor was maybe 18 inches, the lower side skimming the floor. Not a reckless height. The center of mass and a four foot slide created the inertia needed to get it headed south in a bad way.
No one got hurt. Best part. Vice didn't bust. Its darn expensive 8 inch jaw. That was a bonus. A Jet saw and Jet bearing press got punted out of the way as she went down. Clamps and related table ware scattered.
