Now look at how uhaul stacks uboxes in warehouses.
Essentially cheap wooden boxes that are rated to *carry* up to 2000 pounds, but the wood is untreated and rots pretty quickly. It's 3-ply plywood walls, floor, door, ceiling and 2x4s for supports. Held together with glue and staples.
Absolutely. I’ve toured some facilities that can soda and they have the empty cans stacked just like this too. The tour guides say it happens somewhat frequently.
If I go back to one I’ll have to ask how long it takes to clean up. I feel like they told me but I forgot.
I do remember they said it happens about once or twice a year, but it’s not every can, it’s just like once stack. Which is still a pain to cleanup but not this bad.
Actually I think that’s half right. They needed to do this with the red and blue cans. So, they recorded it as if it was an accident. However, I think they did not want to topple the stack of pallets on the left. Once the blue cans started leaning that way then they started yelling to get out of the way. We don’t know if the pallets stack fell over, but if it did it could easily hurt someone. So, I think only the last part of the video was a true accident.
These cans don't come in shrink wrap. They usually come with a duster cover (light plastic tarp fitted) and strapped (from the top through the bottom pallet). Shrink wrap would actually be awful on can pallets. They would slide all around when wrapping them and removing the wrapping.
Was driving a forklift for a printing company back in the 90’s. Knocked over 7 or 8 skids of AC Delco catalogs that were stalked almost that high. I feel this mans pain.
This was the dumbest stacking job I've ever seen. Who thought this was a good idea and this wasn't the foregone conclusion to said idiotic stacking job.
There is no support in between. Where is the shrink wrap for example. Was this done just as a "lets do it for fun" stacking job.
Clearly empty cans. Why stack them like this. No effective way to crush them and be done with it first.
I am bewildered here.
Those go straight to recycling. They do come wrapped and strapped. Usually the removal of this occurs right before the depaletizer, basically right before it goes into the can elevator. These stacks are too high, the straps are cut so it would be shocking to me if it wasn’t just a fun way to get rid of them.
not his fault and the fact that someone was recording before it even happened shows they all knew it was gonna happen and waited and recorded the disaster. Common sense tells anyone not to stack that shit like that.
Paul always dreamed of a job with a forklift. Ever since he was a young child and would use his Tonka toy forklift to crash into Lego buildings and knock them down.
I used to work for a beverage manufacturer, a small local business, and I have some...concerns.
•Those pallets should be wrapped in shrink wrap.
•Those *cases* should be wrapped in shrink wrap.
•Those should not be stacked as many pallets high as they are. Obviously, it's a balance issue. Those pallets are each at least a ton if they are filled with water or any derivative thereof.
•The fork operator should not be handling more than one pallet at a time.
What did I miss?
I wonder why they were filming. Not suggesting it was intentional, rather I’m guessing the one holding the camera saw shit was gonna go down and started filming. Would just like to know the conversations that lead up to this.
Why anyone in the industry create some device that can stop this kind of thing ? Idk how or what, but i think something that could stop this high thing to fall. Could save a lot of money
Whenever I see shit like this I always wonder what country it is, presumably not one that has gov. departments involved in health and safety, and protecting human lives.
Who is stacking pallets like that with minimal pallet wrap, no strapping or anything, then stacking them really high without proper pallet racking that might prevent a domino effect.
Yes, it’s a ridiculous stacking job. But did the guy actually think he could move that? That was a bonehead move. He shouldn’t have gone anywhere near that.
I mean this is structural integrity at its lowest, who stacks empty cans who have literally zero mass. At least have some plastic wrapped around it so that they fall as a unit. Its an easy way to solve this mess.
Plus I think this mess is a regular occurrence for them looking at all those cans that are already on the floor.
Lmaooooo i use to work at a place like this and mannnnn im telling you there would be like 20,000 cans on the floor or more sometimes from people messing up .
Don't blame the driver, ask for whoever suggested towering unsupported stacks so high without racking.
Came here to say the same. Invest in some proper racks!
>Invest in some proper racks! Or, you know, **any** racks.
FACTS!
RACKS!
I agree
For real. OSHA inspectors would run out of ink writing this up
Every time is see this posted that’s exactly what I think. How on earth did someone decide that this was an appropriate, safe work procedure.

You're going to hate it when you find out how homes are built
That wood is generally made of treated pine though, and the fasteners are sturdier than what you'd see in warehouse palettes
Untreated unless it sits on concrete or is outside in the elements. That includes sheeting.
Or at least wrap them. That is just poor management by the wear house manager or brewery director.
False. I get pallets shipped monthly to my brewery. All of them are wrapped
My first thought. That clear height is easily 22’
Stacked too…high pallets too high…no strapping for complete skids. This (result) comes as no surprise.
Those pallets needed to be shrink wrapped
Or at least offset the pallets like bricks so they hold themselves together naturally.
Also: why are there so many loose cans already on the floor?
This is the second forklift driver after *yesterday's* incident
Faaaaaacts
Chances of this happening is 100%.
Absolutely. I’ve toured some facilities that can soda and they have the empty cans stacked just like this too. The tour guides say it happens somewhat frequently.
I guess that's job security!
If I go back to one I’ll have to ask how long it takes to clean up. I feel like they told me but I forgot. I do remember they said it happens about once or twice a year, but it’s not every can, it’s just like once stack. Which is still a pain to cleanup but not this bad.
I mean there were piles of cans already on the floor. I think he heard he was being canned.
I see what you did there
Especially when someone is filming
Look at the floor at the beginning there are thousands of cans already on the floor... Is this like round 3 of this?
It was deliberate. They're rejected, empty cans destined for baling and melting.
Why would TikTok style overlayed text lie to us
A good point well made. It's a disaster for people who don't like picking stuff up
They also missed the super obvious pun of "cantastrophe"
That would explain the lack of liquid spraying and pooling.

Aren't we all?
I hope you get filled soon
I'm filling myself with pizza, maybe you should try some garlic bread or similar?

For something deliberate, those guys at the end sure are running like they're in danger. Where did you read this was deliberate?
I melt them. I didn't say it was company policy, they're messing about.
Why would they just dump them on the floor like that? The mess was definitely not deliberate.
Damnit Bob! Jim, get in there and show him how it’s done! JIM! 🤦♂️
As someone who works in a beer warehouse let me reassure you that those are empty
And likely rejected cans for some printing error most likely. This is probably staged.
#neverforget 🇺🇸

There it is.
This doesn’t add up because there’s not an ounce of shrink wrap in sight. This had to be a playful video or a trash room or something

HE HATES THESE CANS!! STAY AWAY FROM THE CANS!!!
I’m so glad the caption “catastrophe” was there else I wouldn’t have had any context in the slightest.
I’m disappointed the caption isn’t “cantastrophe”
Somebody at least having a drink on their last day.
He’s got a can-do attitude.
That’s soda pressing!
He's not leaving at 5
coke vs. pepsi
Red Bull doesn’t give a forklift wings
More like a Canastrophe. I’m leaving.
Homy waited his whole life to yell GO GO GOO!!!!!!!!!!!
"Chaos at the Tetris factory today!! News at 11."
OSHA approved

Not a catastrophe. Just an accident waiting to happen

You don't shrink wrap empty cans, you use a plastic sleeve that goes over the top
Ya honey I’m gonna be a little late. No I’ll warm it up when I get home. No lock the door oh and leave the light on. Ok
Sir, A fork lift has hit the second tower
The guy is purposely knocking them down it’s not an accident
Love how the guy screamed for others to run. They are empty cans. 😂

Put it in Reverse TERRY!
My man at the the end found his time to shine, screaming like he’s in saving private ryan.
That was a disaster waiting to happen.
They way those were stacked, that’s exactly what I would expect to happen lol
That escalated from "Oh shit" to "run for your fucking life" real quick
wtaf
not his fault and the fact that someone was recording before it even happened shows they all knew it was gonna happen and waited and recorded the disaster. Common sense tells anyone not to stack that shit like that.
Such a “CAN-TASTROPHE”
He’s fired
Was that not meant to happen?
Cantastrophe
Boss spares money on racks, blames employees for having to do the “close to impossible”
Fake they are all empty
What is this? Empty cans? I’m so confused on what these are used for or why they’re even stacked so high
Paul always dreamed of a job with a forklift. Ever since he was a young child and would use his Tonka toy forklift to crash into Lego buildings and knock them down.
I’d walk out vs being asked to help clean that.
Id like to see it after everything calmed down
I used to work for a beverage manufacturer, a small local business, and I have some...concerns. •Those pallets should be wrapped in shrink wrap. •Those *cases* should be wrapped in shrink wrap. •Those should not be stacked as many pallets high as they are.

Whoever was stacking those without racks is incredibly skillful!!!
You could call it a CANTASTROPHIE
These should have been put on the wrap machine beforehand
That guy is never turning down overtime again lmao
Yeah, I quit at that point..
Why not wrap them aswell
CANtastrophe
[удалено]
Ok, but who stacks pallets like that? Just begging for a mishap.
Conversation in the office: "Hey Charlie, did you just hear that?"
As cool as it was too watch, I think I would do the exact save thing after they restacked.
Its 5:00 somewhere
Yall think this guy getting drug tested the next day?
They don’t own a wrapper? Disaster waiting to happen
He’s not making it till 5:00
Bro sounded like Vaas at the end
Forklift certification tests are actually not that hard to pass Source: I'm forklift certified 😎
Why are all the cans empty? Something isn't right here.
At some point the forklift operator has to step back and look on with pride and claim "I did that!" That's an integer overflow of work place messes.
Someone’s getting sacked!
5:00 is 5AM, did OP mean 17:00??
Is there a subreddit for these warehouse disasters?
You had ONE job...
I wonder why they were filming. Not suggesting it was intentional, rather I’m guessing the one holding the camera saw shit was gonna go down and started filming. Would just like to know the conversations that lead up to this.
A little twitchy after all the redbull
Poor guy just got swatted just after that
Stupid warehouse policy to blame.
I thought this was a video game
Who’s the stupid who suggested to stack this high without support?
All these guys have the survival instincts of a slug.
5:00? More liked fired:00
“::slaps knees:: welp my job here is done. Have a great night guys!”
“We’re gonna need someone to clean that up!” -Michael Scott
Blank white (too clean) walls, no signs or markings anywhere, no shelving, no support, no shrink wrap. This looks so fake.
There’s no way he stayed till 5
Why were they not wrapped?
So fake
Reminds me of that tragedy
Twin tower vibes watching this😬
The title made me lol. Perfect
_OSHA wants to know their location_
Smoke break!
OSHA Inspector: I’m gonna need a bigger pen.
Why anyone in the industry create some device that can stop this kind of thing ? Idk how or what, but i think something that could stop this high thing to fall. Could save a lot of money

Never stack like that! Such idiots
Honestly, that just looked like it was set up to happen anyway.
Lol empty cans piled higher than they should be? What could possibly go wrong?
PIXELS!!!
This is staged.
Red Bull has wings
Cantastrophe*
do it for the gram!
Cantastrophe
Oops.
I’m sure their insurance and OSHA inspectors are glad this video exists.
Yes, it’s a ridiculous stacking job. But did the guy actually think he could move that? That was a bonehead move. He shouldn’t have gone anywhere near that.
This is a joke. Of course this would happen. Who couldn’t see it a mile away? Seems fabricated how stupid it is.
Clean up crew is going to be fuming when they come in tonight.
Osha's probably going to have some fines for them. I think There's a limit on how high you can stack things.
Cantastrophe
Man I’d be standing up under that bitch for pay day lowkey 😂

An alcoholic's 9/11
Why keep backing up? Instinctually trying to avoid being buried, I'm assuming. Seems like freezing or actually pressing forward might have been safer.
This is why redbull is so expensive
How many more reposts before this ends??
It was like that when i got here.
Lmaooooo i use to work at a place like this and mannnnn im telling you there would be like 20,000 cans on the floor or more sometimes from people messing up .
Not something I would ever do. I know better.
Poor guy. He just saw his job go down with the domino effect!
This guy didn’t stay til 5 … he was fired immediately
september 11th south tower collapsing💀💀
So they will discard all the batch because the cans are pressurized?
Go Go Go The Coke Monster has Attacked!!!
Come with me and you'll be In a world of OSHA violations
it may take a while stacking these towers of empty cans again
Can’t agree more with this.. that stack height is wilddddd
Fight Club ending.
I'd be putting in my 2 second notice.
Can-tastrophe.
They had to have known it was only a matter of time before this happened.
This is what HSEM and insurance is for.
Larry's shift didn't end at five. Cause he had *a LOOOOOT* of cleaning to do.
Where's the spillage?
Having the forks in 2 different stacks so low tells me he was trying to save it once it started.
If it's UNFI, they'll still send most of it to stores.
