The recent prosecution regarding load shedding of a stack of empty stillages caught my attention. Most of the reports have consisted of a standard press release without much information on the cause of the accident. The SHP site gives more insight. My understanding is that the truck skidded (wet floor or wet wheels), the load shifted and toppled off.
The Inspector said that the load should have been secured to the truck, or the stillages secured to one another.
I'm sure many of you have similar systems whereby empty (or even full) stacks of stillages are transported. The stillages in my plant have channels for the FLT toes to locate in, but there is always a remote possibility of the stacked stillages falling off the lower ones. Does anyone have any observations on this case?
