The rarity and complex aftermath of a pallet rack collapse leaves rescue professionals inadequately equipped for such a scene.
PLAINFIELD, Indiana — There are well over a million warehouses in the United States, housing billions of square feet of steel pallet racking. Those numbers continue to rise daily, as does the risk of a catastrophic pallet rack collapse. This rare but deadly event creates a tangled, unstable debris field like no other – and which no existing rescue apparatus is specifically designed to handle. The ShoreFit Shoring Strut to Pallet Rack Adapter is the patent-pending rescue solution that establishes a sturdy, secure, multi-plane connection for shoring strut engagement with pallet rack frames, and has been painstakingly engineered to work with major shoring strut brands.
A pallet rack collapse can happen suddenly and without warning. In this event, a damaged frame ignites a chain reaction that leaves a chaotic web of steel components woven into the wreckage of all the pallets of goods which they were previously holding. The aftermath of such an event is at a scale that is hard to imagine – and impossible to precisely train for. Further complicating critical rescue efforts, the shoring strut that rescue teams would instinctively reach for is not compatible with pallet rack frames.
Developed by a team of experts with decades of experience in rescue response, warehouse safety innovations, pallet rack maintenance, and collapse prevention, ShoreFit provides everything first responders need to create a secure entry triangle for pallet rack collapse rescue.
“While rare, these collapse disasters do happen more than most would believe,” said Daniel Klinger, Vice President of ShoreFit. “An industry insider, speaking on the condition of anonymity, related to us ‘It’s a fool who believes that these collapse events, be it partial or full collapse scenarios, aren’t playing out multiple times a month across the country.’ ShoreFit exists to ensure that first responders are fully equipped in advance to safely and quickly reach someone in need of rescue should the unthinkable happen on their watch.”
ShoreFit is thoughtfully designed with these innovative features:
• No Tools Required!
• Easy 3-Step Assembly Instructions Included on Product Case
• Deployed with Your Gloves on in Minutes!
