Damage to modular building panel from run in with fork truck tine<\/p><\/div>\n

Regardless of how much training you\u2019ve had, or how careful you are, accidents can happen.\u00a0 Even your best fork truck driver can make a mistake. I recently had a customer contact me with just such a situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year the customer had put in a quality assurance lab and office using our A-wall modular building system.<\/a>\u00a0 Unfortunately, their best fork truck driver slipped up and ran into the wall. They were lucky: no one was injured, and he was able to stop before he caused any significant structural damage.\u00a0 It did however knock a knock a 2\u201dx4\u201d hole on the one side of the wall panel and a larger hole on the inside where it pushed through. Since the damage was localized to a couple small holes in a single panel and there was no structural damage to any of the other components, the customer contacted a local drywall contractor to repair the damage to the panel, and we were able to provide him with a sheet of vinyl to cover the patches with.<\/span><\/p>\n

Industrial guardrail protects your equipment from fork traffic<\/p><\/div>\n

This all could have been avoided if the customer put up a line of industrial guardrail<\/a> around the perimeter.\u00a0 Our industrial guardrail is available in single and double rail configurations, and our standard non-liftout system is designed for a 10,000 lb at 4 mph breakthrough.\u00a0 It\u2019s bolt together design is easy to install and comes with all required hardware, including the concrete anchors. We offer a wide variety of lengths and off-center welded baseplates to configure a layout that will best fit your facility\u2019s layout.\u00a0 We can even provide you with a heavy duty gate system<\/a> that can stop a 13,500 lb fork truck moving at 6.5 mph, yet fold out of the wall to allow passage. Next time you\u2019re thinking about putting in a structure in an area with fork traffic, don’t forget about adding guardrail to protect your workers and your equipment.\u00a0 You might not be as lucky as this customer was.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
