Ouch!!!!

D'ya think that shelving system was just slightly overloaded, or not
built to OSHA standards, or both? (I'll bet both.)

I hope that driver isn't able to get another job driving a forklift in
the future.

Looks like standard pallet racking.
Probably overloaded high, and no locks installed.

If the uprights had been bolted to the floor, this likely would not have
happened, or been confined to a single section....

Explain locks. We Have 3 or 4 foot baskets with 2000# of castings in these kind of racks.

That .gif scared the chit out of me.

OSHA, cleanup, aisle 5.

I can't believe how fragile the shelving was. Perhaps it was
overloaded?

I also can't believe how fast he got out of there.


Dave

Ya don't think that stuff falling from six levels up, even higher than the
camera could cover may indicate overloading, do ya?

I'd say that a FLT driver that has never even slightly nerfed something
has
probably not been driving a one for that long. Notwithstanding that, it
looks
like he was lucky, note how he falls over after bailing out.

I drove for years in the Las Vegas conventions. Yeah, if you drive for
long, you will screw something up. The worst thing, however, are hazards
others cause you, and inattentive people that you may inadvertently hurt.
The best times to really get stuff moving are periods of time when there are
not a lot of people around. Some people are absolutely ignorant around
equipment that can really hurt them.

It doesn't look like the driver's fault. A slight contact can happen
sometimes. But the weak shelf system took deliberation and ongoing lack of
attention on the part of a superior.

Essentially, any shelf or joint that can come apart if lifted,
unweighted, etc. is 'unlocked'.
For example, if you have a shelf on a rack, and that shelf comes off
just by lifting, "that can be bad".

'Locking' keeps the joint from coming apart no matter which way the
joint is loaded.

It looks like the far rack the forklift hits collapses, which actually
raises the racks near the camera. Since these racks contain joints
which can simply come apart when the rack is lifted off the ground
from the top, when the weight comes back down on the legs some joint
has come apart which was evidently critical to keeping the rack
together.

I would.

I think that that guy should go into banking.
