spinmaster1 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hi everyone, I was browsing through Youtube the other day and came across a timelapse video of a typical day at White Light's warehouse in London. Just thought I'd draw attention to it as it is well worth a watch and only released this week. It certainly brightened my evening. Enjoy, ........... :) Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwing1993 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I think it would be far more impressive if the 250km of cable was just a huge loom with one of everything. Now that I would love to see :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_s Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I wouldn't be particularly happy with that, given that I have to test and coil the stuff on a daily basis :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgecaliber Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Holy ******* ****! I had no idea they were on that scale! I mean 2,500 moving lights, 40 tons of kit tested each week!? Think my Glasgow & Edinburgh suppliers better buck up their ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulears Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I was going to post this earlier but decided not to, but as it's been brought up again. Many of these cases weigh in the region of 80-100Kgs. They are on their side, not on wheels. I can think of plenty of other access devices nowhere near as stable and solid as a pile of cases. A pyramid of flight cases isn't going anywhere. A quick RA suggests that the risk in stacking like this is mainly to do with weight and lifting - with fingers and toes the prone parts (oh yes, and shins). A flat, sturdy surface makes manual handling safer than many other methods. Even a Fork lift truck can't get boxes into this formation without more handling manually. I can't see any issues with this method of stacking, other than the fact it's damn hard work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbsy Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The main issue I see is the gaps where the wheels stop the cases fitting tightly together though--a mis-step where you put a foot down one of those holes could be nasty. (In my student days several decades ago I worked two summers in a warehouse that sold sanitary products, including be boxes of paper towels, loo roll and so on. Those boxes were stacked tightly together and we thought nothing of standing on them to get to the higher rows--pretty much as stable as being on the floor and no nasty holes to catch feet if we stacked them properly.)

mrjammy83 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 to be honest the flight case stack is one of those things where h&s would come in do a RA and conclude that there is most likely no other way of doing this any safer than it is already carried out. I'm pretty sure a company like WL are squeeky clean in that respect. however I was damn sure it would generate a few points of view to keep the brain matter ticking over. It has to be said those chaps and chappettes at WL work damn hard for there money. they should get a flight case coveyor liekthe trolley things in ikea. or maybe I need to design and researc a flightcase just as strong that collapses down to the length of the 4 casters.

David Lee Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Are flightcases really a stable access platform. discuss Never been in the back of a 40 footer? Standard procedure to get to the top cases is to use a row of flightcases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard CSL Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 it would be great to see this video in normal speed, or am I the only sado here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim_mcslim Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I think its a very well made video, and stacking flight cases like that seems to be one of the best ways of storing them, its the way we do it, with slightly less cases... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben K Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Are the bits of truss on chain hoists storage space for movers? Surely if you've got to store the case, you may as well leave the lantern in the case or is there more movers than cases and they never all go out at once?? Im just curious here :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
