Re: Forklift fail
Man, he buckled one of the support columns with that big skid.
I've got three buildings full of fertilizer and seed with that racking. It's very dangerous in the sense that when any one part fails the whole deal is coming down. He's lucky that he's not dead.
Imagine the sound that made....wow.

Re: Forklift fail
Reminds me about a machine tool chuck company, I forget if it was Bison, LMT-Fette or who it was, but they had all the lathe and milling chucks, talking some big suckers weighing in some at hundreds of pounds...shelving in their main facility collapsed.
Picture shelving at least 30 feet high, with alot of hundred to thousand pound chunks of steel flying down and crashing through stuff, walls, and all hell breaking loose.
Shelving just collapsed on it's own, without warning around mid day.Andrew

Re: Forklift fail
Prior to just now, I'd always figured that if I was in a room full of that-type shelving (Home Depot included) and there was an earthquake I'd dive under the lowest shelf to avoid being hit on the head with things falling from the high shelves. Growing up in So. Cal. you think of that kind-of stuff. But Jeez, the whole thing came down......

Re: Forklift fail
Uggh. Not many options in a narrow aisle. I guess, "run for it..."
Some earthquakes make a wavy side-to-side motion which would surely collapse such a structure, others just make stuff rattle across the floor and if it's not anchored down you're safe. Think I'll be looking a little closer at those things next time I'm around some....
