As it turns out there were no serious injuries.

Correct. It is a food and food type stuff warehouse. I heard that they were doing all the distribution for the Lever Bros soap products made at their balt plant. I hauled a bunch of P&G paper stuff there, when the first half opened up.
I take it they do not own the products, but they just warehouse it, and attempt to configure single loads of mixed product, going to a single store.
Appears to be cases of bottled ?? I worked in a brewery, and some of the storage was shelving such as this. The incoming material shelving was deeper - and 3 pallets high. You could put 4 or 5 pallets in each bay, it was a incline roller bay, so gravity feed pallets to the front as ones were removed. Worked OK, until it didn't. There was no way to clear a jammed or spilled pallet but climb up there. The finished goods (packaged beer) warehouse utilized "robot" forklifts. The robots went rogue on occasion, with predictable results, lol. Never had anything like that though. I think most I ever saw was around 16 pallets of beer pushed over by a robot.
Lever sold out to Sun Products years back . I worked there until they shut the place down and went to Kentucky and Tenessesee . We had a huge warehouse on-site which was packed . Long before we heard of the sale they were stocking a huge warehouse somewhere up there so you are probably correct on that . Our plant ran 24/7 , I worked 7 nights a week for 15 years , and yes ......................I miss it !! Nice place . Unilever also closed the ice cream plant up in Frederick Md and their butter plant down on Southwestern Blvd in Baltimore within a year of the soap plant . All union shops . I pass this warehouse all the time , but if you wanna see a big one , head up north from this one a few miles !!
