What you can expect from a pallet rack inspection
Identify & reduce risk to prevent loss
Pallet rack systems for material handling and storage applications are an essential part of manufacturing operations and distribution centers. Because your employees are always working around your racking system, and it is being used to store your valuable products, it is essential to have an annual racking inspection procedure to ensure the racking is maintained so it can be safely loaded.
At Cranston Material Handling Equipment, we offer a pallet rack inspection service where our trained professionals perform an inspection of your pallet rack to verify its structural integrity and safety features are correctly installed.
Call 412-424-0360 to discuss your inspection needs, or complete our pallet rack inspection form to schedule an inspection/request a quote.
As part of our complete pallet rack damage inspection, our racking inspectors will examine the condition of each pallet rack component, including the following items:
- Anchors – To ensure they are not loose or broken off
- Baseplates – To ensure they are correctly attached to the column
- Uprights, beams, and braces of each bay – Checking for bent, missing, or damaged components
- Safety Clips – To ensure they are in place and properly engaged
- Safety Bolts – To ensure the beams are locked in place, so they cannot be dislodged
- Safety Guards – To ensure they are undamaged and properly anchored
- Pallet Rack Wire Decking and Pallet Supports – To ensure they are not fatiguing
- Pallets, Skids, or Containers on the racks – To check for point loads or unsafe conditions, or incorrect loading
After our warehouse racking inspection, our racking inspectors will provide you with a detailed report of our findings. In this report, we will note which components are damaged and which pallets are incorrectly loaded. After the inspection, we can provide you with a recommendation for replacement or repair of the damaged component or an appropriate corrective measure.
