Frequently asked questions
How often should pallet racking be inspected?
Formal racking inspections should be carried out at intervals not exceeding 12 months, in accordance with AS 4084.2:2023.
What does a racking inspection include?
We visually inspect your racking for damage, missing or altered components, fixings, safety mechanisms, load signage and other issues that may affect its safe use.
Do we need to empty our racking for an inspection?
Generally, no. Most inspections can be completed while your racking remains in use, although access to all areas of the racking will be required.
What happens if damage or safety issues are found?
Any identified issues are documented and prioritised in your inspection report, with recommended actions for repair, replacement or further assessment.
Can you inspect racking you didn't install?
Yes. We can inspect existing steel storage racking regardless of who originally supplied or installed the system.
What will we receive after the inspection?
You’ll receive a detailed inspection report outlining our findings, identified issues, risk classifications and recommended actions.
What information do you need to quote an inspection?
Your site location, approximate warehouse size, racking type and number of bays are helpful. Not sure? Simply provide what you can and our team will assist with the rest.
