Warehousing and storage Guide (Racking Inspection)

  • Are rack load signs posted?<br>Check that the bays conform to the SWL signs provided by the designer / installer, and that the racks have not been altered.

  • Are uprights damaged?<br>If the upright shows significant damage, or is twisted or contains splits or cracks, ask for a replacement.

  • Are beams overloaded?<br>A large amount of beam deflection indicates overloading of the racking. Where two beams connect at an upright, the beam connectors should remain reasonably parallel.

  • Are the bracing damage?<br>Replace bent horizontal or diagonal braces.

  • Are beams damaged?<br>Check for obvious signs of beams being hit by a pallet or forklift. Damaged beams should be replaced.

  • Are beam connectors or safety clips missing?<br>Examine beams for damage and replace missing clips immediately.

  • Are floor fixings installed?<br>Check that floor fixings are installed and are not damaged.

  • Are the upright protectors damaged?<br>Check if the protector is missing or damage.

  • Are BIN LOCATOR labels missing?<br>The BIN LOCATOR is important, because without them we cannot properly manage the racking system.
