The Guinness World Records' record for the longest forklift pallet relay is 62 consecutive passes achieved by BigRentz, Inc. (USA) in Irvine, California, USA, on 24 October 2015.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest floating crane ship; it is Thialf, a 201.6 m (661.4 ft) long semi-submersible barge with a lifting capacity of 14,200 tonnes (31.3 million lb). Thialf is operated by Heerema Marine Contractors of the Netherlands. Thialf carries two 95 m (311 ft) tall cranes which are capable of lifting objects in tandem (the lifting capacity quoted above is for such lifts).

    The pallet passed between the forklifts was painted pink and signed by contributors to the fundraiser, which raised (only?...) $475 for Susan G. Komen Orange County.
