Slow, calculated, and smooth operation of a forklift is essential when rigging in tight areas. In this situation, the operator has a spotter on the right, he is spotting on the left, and a 3rd person is spotting the tip of the boom and mast, and is relaying signals to the operator. Working together, this crew was able to lift the lid off a tank, replace the gasket, and reset the lid back into position. As you can see, they had to maneuver around pipes, conduits, other tanks, pumps, motors, etc., which is very common for the type of work we do. Our crew members understand the importance of communication on the job and understand the importance of their individual roles.
