There was a last minute glitch at work yesterday
Time, 2pm, I finish work at 2.30pm.
As so often happens a truck pulls in with 10 steel plates for us to unload.
The problem was that each plate was individually glutted which meant 10 individual lifts. Which is crazy. So we decide to remove the gluts first.
The average weight of each plate would be 2 tons. So we begin removing the gluts with the help of forklifts. As we proceed down the stack the weights gets heavier until it is so great that the forklifts get stuck. We access a 5 ton forklift to help remove the forklifts.
During this process the forklift runs out of gas.
Anyway, the whole process of unloading a truck, if not individually glutted would take 20 minutes.
This load took 2 hours. The boss was not happy at the people who loaded the truck and rang them to let them know.
Hopefully this will not happen again. Instead of finishing work at 2.30 I knocked off at 4.15.
