The crane operator sits above the other players in the crane and is in charge of collecting packed pallets from the forklift driver and moving them to the correct area for other player to collect. This classes challenge lies in the crane Controls. Moving the pallets requires a delicate touch, as items can be dropped or spilled in transit, causing a time consuming cleanup. The crane itself will only be operable by the Crane Operator class. The challenge of this class lies specifically in controlling the crane. I simple rope psyisics system wil be in place on the tow line, and controlling the vehicle will be done by a few different levers.

The controls for driving the forklift will be a forward and backward movement stick, as well as a wheel with a knob on it that moves by pressing the buttons to left and right. This left and right motion turns the wheel and allows users to actively back up and go forward, as well as turn like an actual forklift would. There is also a button that is for the raising and lowering of the forklift arms. Operating this vehicle will take some practice.
