I'd say the driver has a lawsuit against the company. Accicdents happen and those shelving units were improperley, if at all, secured.

No. If you ram an 8,000 lb object into a 2"x3" (hollow) steel shelving system at pretty much any speed, even bolted to the floor (like at the warehouse I work at), that shelf is toast. Our pallets average 2500 lbs, stacked 3 high. Knock the support system out from under 7500 lbs, and its going to come down. |

Seems to be a problem with the shelving really more than anything. I work in a warehouse and I think everybody there has bumped into a shelf with the fork lift at some point. Maybe not with that much force, but damn....

That's because they aren't designed by retards. 8000 lbs going into a steel upright at 10mph isn't a minor perturbation. That's going to be close to 13 tons of force against the upright supports. Shelving systems get bumped all the time, and do fine. Ours are all scratched up at the bases from hitting them with the tail, or forks, or pallets. Shelving systems were never designed to take high force impacts. Comparing that with the concrete barriers around gas pumps (who's SOLE purpose is to protect the pump) is a poor comparison. |

That shelving looks a bit wobbly. Where my dad works, people would bump the shelves and dent them. One day someone set a palette of water on top, and the whole thing came down. Quoted:
$5 says no injuries if they both stay in the forklift. it looks like the other guy pulled out before it rained on him. In the story above, if the guy stayed in the lift, he might be dead. He bailed. |

Who wouldn't take reasonable precautions against an accident that is likely to occur and has a high cost in both economic and human terms? |

And how much changing configuration of such a warehouse would cost if you had to do that? Paying the occasional idiot a few bucks and replacing the damaged goods every few years is WAY cheaper. If it wasnt every warehouse would already have bollards... |
