That's nothing special for lift truck drivers, we used to do similar 40 years ago at the IMI foundry With Cat V60B. Brilliant trucks, first hydrostatic I had driven and they were so easy to manipulate ingots. More impressed with the lads forging the flange by eye.

I'm amazed how round it came out. If only the machining had been recorded too.

Wonder what the penalty is for making an "OOPS" over there?

That's not the first time they've done that.
