Too much right foot!

[dest]

We've got loads of free standing racking at work, over 40 feet tall too, nothing wrong with that!
What is worrying that one slight hit from a forklift has brought it down
Ive seen ours get hit VERY hard and all its done is bend the leg, the racking in that video must of been very overloaded

Agreed. They should not come down like dominos. Seriously overloaded racking there....

Well it was piled high with Vodka!

When the safety people came round our place the told us the racking had to be attached to the walls.

Thats a bit daft isnt it?! How do you put any racking in the middle of a warehouse if it has to be fixed to a wall?

[denniselbows]

if any of you went in to a proper size wearhouse or distridution centre you will find racking to 10metres plus high all spaced so there is about 5foot apart with only the bolts in the ground to anker them down. all the loading is downwards and do not like being hit and when one goes the whole lot comes down.so nothing looked to out of place to me. i look after some vna trucks in the range we deal with (damback) some of the machines they make are nearly 50metres tall now thing of the mess you would have to clear up if things went wrong in one of those wearhouses

I agree on the layout etc, but as I already said, Ive seen legs from our high racking get hit from all directions VERY hard with forklifts and it will not bring the whole lot down!!

This is a pic of some of our racking I already had on my phone lol

Domino, anyone? :mischeif:

[dest]

there are 17 aisles, and each is 100 locations long, so you would have some serious domino fun!

Ar know t size of warehouse, huge storage facility, have seen some in a pretty bad state too and they have not come down (talking pallets of TV's etc on them too so not light stuff), that stuff must have been way way overloaded. and feasibly the leg not attatched to the floor properly for it to feasibly come away like that IIRC the floor bolts are supposed to be over a foot into the floor !!!!!!!

But on a lighter note bet he couldn't drive home without beig over the limit

[dest]

Ours have no where near 12" bolts, and were only put up about 3 years ago.
It does depend on what the load rating is for the racking though
