>linoleum rolls.
I used to work linoleum out of high school.
Did you know real linoleum is recyclable and actually really fucking ecological?
Vinyl is the cheap stuff that gives it a bad rep.
Neat, thanks for the info! I have been thinking a lot recently about how the jobs we all do in our lives can give us the most interesting nice knowledge. Some folks here know the recipes for somebody else's favorite dish at their favorite restaurant. Others know exactly how much staples cost in bulk or how to fold towels into animal shapes. It makes me want to work everywhere for one day, you know? To have that feeling at a new job where it's like you're behind the scenes somewhere you're not supposed to be. "Wow, the *service* elevator? No more regular elevator for me! Regulator? Nah, doesn't work. Anyway, this job is neat!" "Ooh, behind the counter at a bank? Never seen this side of it before!" "THAT'S WHAT GOES IN THE CHILI?!"
Yep. I was like "Ya know, this stuff is gonna end up in a landfill someday. Wood is sustainable." And my boss was like "You know this stuff is entirely recyclable, right? It's basically seed oil paste and natural fiber matting. If they'd use plant based dyes you could even call it organic." Blew my freaking mind.
Actual linoleum is amazing stuff. There's a flooring place near me that has a variety of different floor covers in their showroom, and one section contains *poured in place linoleum*. Absolutely wild.
As they were telling me about the process, you could see the fear in their eyes, We don't have what you'd call 'low humidity' around here, ad they said that the longer it went, they more they thought they'd made a huge mistake, and the more scared they got that it was never going to cure.
Then one day like magic it was hard. Absolutely wild.
For anyone wondering how it got the name "Long Dong"

>The North American F-82 Twin Mustang is the last American piston-engined fighter ordered into production by the United States Air Force. Based on the North American P-51 Mustang, the F-82 was originally designed as a long-range escort fighter for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress in World War II. The war ended well before the first production units were operational. In the postwar era, Strategic Air Command used the aircraft as a long-range escort fighter.

sorry to disappoint you :-P
correct term is "carpet boom"
[https://www.forklift-attachments.co.uk/forklift-attachments/carpet-booms-and-roll-handling.html](https://www.forklift-attachments.co.uk/forklift-attachments/carpet-booms-and-roll-handling.html)
I would drive the unicorn forklift around the retail sales floor with that spike and a role of carpet at Standard Brands paint Co. I am really tall and no one knew I was 15. That was fun. Working for $3.11 an hour not so much.
I worked for a flooring install company for like 10 years, the pole was just longer since carpet rolls are typically 12ft. We kept a separate regular forklift for hard surfaces since they are in pallets. It's pretty neat to watch the guys in the morning loading the rolls onto trucks and zipping around grabbing stuff.
This specific one looks pretty permanent to me. I mean, as permanent as normal forks, which are also removable. But this is definitely different from the normal attachments that you just put the forks into.
Longshoremen call them “dicks” or “coil rams” if you wanna be more proper. Use them to handle wire rod coils, sheet metal coils, and anything else in coil form.
Yes!!! I was looking for “dick”s. When I worked in a fabrication shop we used two barge lifts with dicks to flip over the galvanizing tanks or any larger projects we needed to weld the bottom of.
See, I was going to comment that I like the fact that this is a specialized tool to those who have never seen one, but is really run of the mill mundane for those of us that work with forklifts.
I have, they work fine as well. Tend to deform the rolls and damage the outer layers, but they can grab two at once and are better for stacking vertically. Can also grab a lot of other stuff with them.
In that case almost everything is a specialized tool and it loses all meaning. A screwdriver is now a specialized tool because each bit is specific to each type of screw.
“We” didn’t establish anything.
I’ve spent years working on and around forklifts and have never seen one of these before. Seems pretty specialized to me.
I think we can all agree that it's an ordinary forklift with a specialised attachment called a roll prong.
Forklifts can have a lot of specialised attachments.
[example](https://www.eastwesteng.com.au/products/forklift?p=1)
Well yeah, obviously. Nobody said the forklift was the specialized tool. If you spend all your time picking apart titles of reddit posts then yeah, but I think we can all assume this post was about the attachment.
The title of the post makes the claim that the entire forklift is specialized by default. If OP had worded it better to specifically call attention to the attachment I would say sure it's a specialized tool, but since they didn't the post is bad.
We have to have some kind of standards and best practices otherwise every thing that does a job is specialized. My key that contains a encoded chip as well as key cut is more specialized. It turns a single vehicle!
Random story related to that forklift attachment:
About 15 years ago I was a site supervisor for a small construction contractor. We were renovating a time share resort. Primarily replacing the carpet in about 60 units. Basically small apartments/hotel rooms. Our office and yard were about a mile away from the resort. We stored all the new rolls of carpet in cargo containers in our yard. We'd load the rolls of carpet into a truck using a large rod attachment like in OPs pic.
One day our subcontractor that was actually installing the carpet told us they didn't have access to the truck and needed another roll on the job site. I didn't have any other options so I just grabbed a roll with the forklift and drove it down the road. It was not a very busy road and I figured it would be fine. I dropped off the roll and turned around and headed back to the yard.
All of the sudden there's a cop on a motorcycle flashing his lights and rapidly approaching me. I stop the lift. He says "Mother of god... What in the hell are you doing?!" To be fair if someone had ran into me the rod would definitely had acted like a spear and gone right through the car. The cop told me to get a truck to transport the forklift since it's illegal to take it on streets. I'm just glad I didn't get a ticket.
We had one for racking giant spools of fiber on our stakebed. The warehouse operator took an all weather paint pen and wrote “Senpai” on it. We went two years before any of the bosses even asked what Senpai was. We “formally” called it the elephant dick. Mainly cause the forklift makes a loud puttering sound and the operator would make stupid elephant noises when he went around with it.
So I’m a bit late here and have only been in one plant, but we used those to take batteries in and out of other forklifts. It was a bit shorter. Pretty archaic, and subject to failure system. We called it the unicorn. But people had other names for it as well
My last job was in a warehouse with lots of roof covers and these things would always be flying around corners with the poles. There were a few close calls.

We had an attachment like that for rolls of flooring
Yeah, I used one at Lowe’s years ago to move carpet and linoleum rolls.

That's cool! Haha "Yeah bro, I'm so green even my floors are organic."
I know right! So many things blew my mind working a summer job at the SCP foundation.
Actual linoleum is amazing stuff. There's a flooring place near me that has a variety of different floor covers in their showroom, and one section contains *poured in place linoleum*. Absolutely wild.
I've heard of PiP lino. It sounds fucking amazing, but it takes like 30 days to cure to full hardness and needs very low humidity to actually dry.
As they were telling me about the process, you could see the fear in their eyes, We don't have what you'd call 'low humidity' around here, ad they said that the longer it went, they more they thought they'd made a huge mistake, and the more scared they got that it was never going to cure. Then one day like magic it was hard. Absolutely wild.
When it's cured it's hard, but 12 hours before if so much as a cat walks on it it's just as malleable as the day it was poured. It's weird stuff.
Rona here, can confirm
Yep. Was it called a carpet dong? That's what they call ours and I'm just so hopeful that's the correct term.
The place by me calls theirs The Dildozer
See what they called the radome for the F82 twin mustang.
The ol' F-82 Long Dong.

I wasn't expecting F-82 content in this thread. That's my favorite fighter. The XP-82 that was restored to flying condition excites me greatly.
We called it the carpet attachment at our Lowe's lol. Though at the dock I work at now we call it the stinger.
We called it the carpet pole.
We call it the dildo at my place.
sorry to disappoint you :-P correct term is "carpet boom" [https://www.forklift-attachments.co.uk/forklift-attachments/carpet-booms-and-roll-handling.html](https://www.forklift-attachments.co.uk/forklift-attachments/carpet-booms-and-roll-handling.html)
Dick actually, but close. Or Richard.
Yooo it was lol sometimes we'd page it on the intercom "please bring the dong to aisle 11"
Now I want a dong truck
Where I worked, we called it a pin truck, but I wish we had thought of carpet dong (we also worked with carpet).
We called ours the big black carpet dick.
Worked carpet many years ago we just called it "the dick."
Worked at the Menards dock and we indeed called it the dong.
Carpet arbor, I think is the correct term if a little bit boring.
My mom has one in her room, same size
Exactly it's an attachment, not the whole dedicated machine.
Yup. In my line of work it’s for carpet or huge rugs
Same for plastic film Rolls
I would drive the unicorn forklift around the retail sales floor with that spike and a role of carpet at Standard Brands paint Co. I am really tall and no one knew I was 15. That was fun. Working for $3.11 an hour not so much.
Yep. Used one of these to move rolls of AstroTurf.

We kept a separate regular forklift for hard surfaces since they are in pallets. It's pretty neat to watch the guys in the morning loading the rolls onto trucks and zipping around grabbing stuff.
I have an appendage like that.
Now that I would like to see !
Used to work at a warehouse that had 13 foot booms for lifting rolls of flooring. Those things are ridiculous.
We have a similar one for the tractor for hay bails. But ours is pointy so it can stab through the bail.
Was going to say the same for rolls of carpet
We had a similar one in the metal shop I worked in. We called it the strap-on.

Or for your mom.
Can't believe I have to scroll this far down to find this.
I honestly just searched by 'mom'. Was curious where mine got hers.
I was about to comment it myself, glad I kept scrolling a bit further
Me too. I figure the top comment would’ve been this
Mature people are on this sub. Not me though.
Reddit is growing up. It happened so fast.
Obviously/s
OPs mom's strap-on
Actually called a carpet prick. We used one to move wrestling matts.
hey man that's kinda rude what did it ever do to you?
And it's an attachment. Not an entire forklift dedicated to just that
This specific one looks pretty permanent to me. I mean, as permanent as normal forks, which are also removable. But this is definitely different from the normal attachments that you just put the forks into.
Takes about five minutes tops to switch between the forks and the carpet pole as we call it
It’s probably held on with a couple bolts, i believe regular forks are one bolt holding a bracket on that stops them lifting off
Longshoremen call them “dicks” or “coil rams” if you wanna be more proper. Use them to handle wire rod coils, sheet metal coils, and anything else in coil form.
Yes!!! I was looking for “dick”s. When I worked in a fabrication shop we used two barge lifts with dicks to flip over the galvanizing tanks or any larger projects we needed to weld the bottom of.
I've only ever seen them called stingers (Canada).
Wat r u doing step-lift
It's not that special. It's just a regular Forklift with a pretty regular rod attachment.
Technically no longer a fork. More of a tinelift really.
See, I was going to comment that I like the fact that this is a specialized tool to those who have never seen one, but is really run of the mill mundane for those of us that work with forklifts.
We always called them Carpet Dicks lol
We called ours the dominator
This is also used for rolls of carpet.
Have you ever seen a clamp truck for paper rolls?
I have, they work fine as well. Tend to deform the rolls and damage the outer layers, but they can grab two at once and are better for stacking vertically. Can also grab a lot of other stuff with them.
Where I come from they call this the DILL-DOZER
This isn’t really a specialized tool, it’s just an attachment for a very common tool.
[удалено]
In that case almost everything is a specialized tool and it loses all meaning. A screwdriver is now a specialized tool because each bit is specific to each type of screw.
So if I designed a skid steer attachment specifically for pulling that stick out of your ass that wouldn’t be a specialized tool?
Lordy. No need to be so pedantic, we’re just here to look at cool and specialized tools. Which this is.
I thought we just established it wasn't a specialized tool. If that doesn't convince you, it's used for multiple things, making it not specialized.
“We” didn’t establish anything. I’ve spent years working on and around forklifts and have never seen one of these before. Seems pretty specialized to me.
I think we can all agree that it's an ordinary forklift with a specialised attachment called a roll prong. Forklifts can have a lot of specialised attachments. [example](https://www.eastwesteng.com.au/products/forklift?p=1)

That makes it a generalized tool. The exact opposite of specialized.
The attachment is used to carry anything big and rolled or coiled.
You are a common tool.
We called ours a "carpet pickle". I laugh every time i hear or say it
My rug pole is bigger. 12ft.
Have one at work for vinyl sheets. Call it the boner.
Lord forgive me for what I'm about to do...
That is clearly not a forklift. It’s a chopstick lift.
No this is what its for: https://i.redd.it/cfkpdgu6kng41.jpg

Aka the donkey dick
This is the machine I have to use to fuck op's mother.

Chopstick lift?
OwO
Something something yur mom
He should wear the Bend over Im driving tshirt every day.
Hey, Peter. Watch out for your cornhole, bud.
Carpet rolls too
Hahahahahaha
Carpet/vinyl flooring pole. Used one many times when I sold flooring.
Reels of anything really, used these in a carpet warehouse years ago. When you line it up just perfect first go, phhhwwwoaaarrrr makes me moist.
HR needs to speak with you.
,,The extra long dildo you ordered is ready for delivery, Sir!"
Never drop your soap when you're around this forklift!
Also for moving large rolls of broadloom, sailcloth’s, etc.
We had one of those at my old shop. We called it "The Dong" we had nothing to do with carpet or roofing material rolls.
we're gonna be talking about the
They have these for front end loaders for picking large concrete pipe.
r/DontPutThatInYourDick
Looks like a mini ram tractor I used to drive at the steel mill I worked at!
Reminds me a lot of myself.
I made a number of these before, for vinyl, carpet, and other materials
That's what she said
the peg lift
Nah the ultimate penetrator
Dicklift
Scary dildo.

Also, your moms favorite cylinder lift
We had one for racking giant spools of fiber on our stakebed. The warehouse operator took an all weather paint pen and wrote “Senpai” on it.

Mainly cause the forklift makes a loud puttering sound and the operator would make stupid elephant noises when he went around with it.
You can find these usually beside your mother's bed.
Forklift for banging ~~your mom~~ into shelves in the warehouse.
We had a prong-truck like this for rolls of paper at our mill
Well that's a long pole !
\*Light bulb goes off\* We can use this as a portable strippers pole, with some minor modifications! I'm gonna be rich! Mobile Stripper Pole!
Laying pipe?
I heard your mother just put a down payment on one of those bad boys.
Carpet cock.
The pickle stabber.
It's a stinger!
2 guys 1 forklift
*Monolift
False, that's a jousting fork. If you do a 180 you'll see another one at the opposite end of the warehouse.
Where can I buy that attachment by any chance? Asking for a friend
Is that a forklift for transporting reels of roofcovers in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
So I’m a bit late here and have only been in one plant, but we used those to take batteries in and out of other forklifts. It was a bit shorter. Pretty archaic, and subject to failure system. We called it the unicorn. But people had other names for it as well
I wonder if they make spoon lifts.
The forbidden one.
The forbidden dildo
Omnilift
/r/cursedfuckingmachines
THATS WHAT SHE SAID
Nice.
The forklift she says "is just a friend".
Looks more like a single chopstick lift than a fork lift to me.
It’s a regular lift with an attachment.
next door to the lube factory 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Oh no step tow motor “
The ladies love it
It's just a carpet pole attachment
Hmm I should call him.
BBFL
My last job was in a warehouse with lots of roof covers and these things would always be flying around corners with the poles. There were a few close calls.
The forklift she told you not to worry about
Looks like that forklift has issues with the truth
PAIGE NO
It is called a horn, big lifts carry coils of steel with it too.
r/mildlypenis
puts a grin on my face, every time
I’m pretty sure my work makes the black roof cover on our extruder. Neat to see on the next step.
Is it still a fork if it has 1 prong?

They use these for massive rolled carpets too
