new math 10′ wide box 9′ wide isle gives me 1′ clearance so go fast it will slide right through. got to love the American public school system.
I would have loved to see it happen.
Having worked in warehousing for several years, I’d be taking a look at the installation of the racking as much as the competence of the operator. Obviously, that is not supposed to happen but that is the second video in as many weeks on B&P where we’ve seen racking collapse under relatively low impact collisions. (except for the video involving the earthquake.)
I’ve seen some racking take a hell of a wallop and nary a dent or ding. If they are manufactured and installed to specification, they are unbelievably resilient and strong.
First off, any forklist safety manual will tell you that the safest place in an accident like that is inside the caged area of the forklift. That cage around the driver is reinforced to withstand a whole lotta weight, plus there’s a grate at the top to prevent items from falling onto the driver while allow him or her to see up still.
So yes, he’s lucky he didn’t get crushed when running away from the forklift. Which also then answers the question as to whether or not he was wearing his seatbelt. If I was his employer, I’d write him up for a couple safety violations.
Being written up would be the least of his worries if I was his employer
His *ss would be fired immediately.
Cleanup on aisle three.
correction: pretty sure it’s aisle not isle.
Looks like someone’s gonna be pissing in a cup.
Heh heh, good one MM
Would he have to pay for the damages?
Probably not Deborah, I figure their insurance would take care of it.
Unless the results from that cup of pee are positive.
nice pic Deborah ,super hot babe
If the employer installed a rack system so far out of regs, I doubt they can do anything to him. If they were built properly, to Ian’s point, they could’ve taken one helluva blow and still stood strong. By the looks of it, the uprights weren’t even anchored. This plus E level locations, make it very unstable. They probably exceeded weight limits per location too. But the bonehead should’ve lifted the load to clear the drums to begin with…
I’m a forklift trainer at Home Depot. I agree with Ian and Val; the question here has to be aimed at the construction of the racking. I’ve hit racking pretty hard and done no worse than put a good size dent in a shelf beam. The driver was right to slow down to pretty much nothing trying to squeeze through that space but the smarter thing would have been to lift his load above the height of the barrels and move the machine to his left to ensure clearance.
After he pees in a cup, that is.
In addition, the drums shouldn’t be that far in the pathway. The pathway should be marked so loads aren’t placed there.
