Kinda like how ISIS and cartels will vouch for the durability and reliability of the Toyota Hilux.
Translation:
For when you have to move fast
The Böcker Agilo transports your up to 400 kg heavy treasures at 42 m/min - whisper quiet thanks to a 230 V electric motor.
It doesn't cast any shade on them because they have no control over the events, and is an undeniable demonstration of the vehicle's reliability. Absolutely brilliant move
Yeah I have no notes, well played to the marketing team.
That's not a forklift.
I'm gonna guess Lädertruk
Edit: Google translates 'ladder truck' to Drehleiterwagen
That's not a forklift.
It's only a forklift if it's came from the Fork region in Scotland, otherwise is just spring ladder
That's still better than their autumn ladder. Lots of lawsuits from injuries with those.
it's a forklift if you carry your lunchbox and it has an fork in it
Couldn’t be further from one
Idk, it's not a spoonlower
Or knifeinplace.
Or SporkRotator
The day I got my SporkRotator entirely changed my life forever...

Great, funny add. If you are offended by this, that's fine, though.
I am slightly offended they called that a forklift
Why the fuck would anyone be offended lol. The British Museum will be offended when they have to give the stuff back, though
A GIFT IS A GIFT! I MEAN WE FOUND IT. GO AWAY!
It's a great ad.
Where fork
Has to be AI. Germans don't have a sense of humor.
Germans have a great sense of humor, you just have to listen for a bit.
From what I've seen most German humour comes in two flavours: intentionally very dry puns and unintentionally hilarious dry attitude to everything else in life.
Seems about right! But like any other country, we also do the "quote old internet videos" humor. One of my current favourites from that genre is the one where a Grandma calls the Police to ask whether there was rain last night
You don't even need an english translation to understand why it is hilarious
I have no idea what is going on but it was hilarious, thank you for sharing this, it's been a long week with car issues, me being in hospital for a throat infection, and my mother needing an operation, and the power being out all day, so thank you this has really lufted mine spirits.
I really want a translation, where's Liam Carpenter when you need him?
That was funny. Poor Oma 😂
Maybe it's an Austrian reporter!
That's a spoonlift
I have heard it said that there is no spoon...
Where spoon
Sigh
Sleeping good tonight?
Ah, so it was just a big PR stunt then. I will not look into this further until the news confirm my findings.
Honestly, I knew it all along.
That's amazing
