I was thoroughly impressed by the precise manipulation with the forklifts, particularly the rotation while they were punching the hole in the center. One guy pushes it at an offset angle, which rotates it, then the other repositions it to center. It's almost like a dance.



For the precision, here's a video that I can find on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkhw9aXQi_0

edit: I thought it was a Chinese competition I watched before. It seems not. There were similar skill competitions with different large equipment


Having driven a couple of forklifts and excavators some years ago, yes, this takes quite a load of skill - especially that they basically did not communicate at all.
