but here is a new one for me,
competitive fork lift truck driving, I kid you not, it is a yearly event organized by Linde Materials and Handling
(Linde MH), it is not only regarded as the ultimate test for certified forklift
operators but also as an entertaining event that amazingly draws tens of
thousands of spectators, Linde MH forklift driver named Peter Seufert, the
manager created the first Stapler Cup obstacle course in 1992, in the 10 years
that he has been working at Linde MH, Steufert he has become famous for his forklift
driving prowess and the fun challenges he came up with to put his skills to the
test, the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg is the home of the Stapler Cup,
it is here that dozens of teams of forklift operators from
across the world converge for their ultimate test. Up until 2007, the event was
only reserved for German forklift masters, but from that year on, the
organizers added a European team championship, which later became a global
affair, “The Forklift Cup is an absolute recipe for success,” Emil Schneider,
Forklift Cup tournament director, said. “In Germany, it has established itself
as the most outstanding event in the sector. And the best drivers are being
treated like stars in their hometowns.” But be warned it is not as easy as it
looks to drive a forklift truck, I doubt that many of the drivers below,
will be competing in next years event!
