Pallet Racking Inspection Services

Looking for a Pallet Racking Inspection?

Keeping your pallet racking system safe and compliant isn’t just good practice, it’s a legal requirement. At ReadyRack, we know the risks of damaged or non-compliant racking, and we’re committed to helping our customers maintain the highest safety standards in their warehouses. That’s why we work closely with our sister company, Erect-A-Rack, to offer professional pallet racking inspection services across Melbourne.

Why Pallet Racking Inspections Matter

Warehouse racking systems are often under immense pressure, bearing the weight of heavy loads and frequent forklift activity. Over time, even minor bumps or overloading can cause structural damage that compromises the safety and stability of your racking. Regular inspections help identify these issues early, reducing the risk of collapse, injury, and costly downtime.

Under Australian Standard AS4084:2023, all pallet racking must be inspected by a competent person at least once every 12 months. Skipping these inspections isn’t just unsafe, it could leave your business open to serious liability.

What’s Involved in a Racking Inspection?

Through Erect-A-Rack’s qualified team, you’ll receive a thorough assessment of your racking system. Each inspection includes:

• Visual inspection of frames, beams, and bracing

• Assessment of damage from impact or overloading

• Checks for missing or incorrect safety clips and fasteners

• Review of load signs and racking configuration

• Compliance check against AS4084:2023

• Risk rating of any identified issues

You’ll be provided with a comprehensive inspection report outlining the condition of your racking, any safety concerns, and clear recommendations for repair or replacement. This report is suitable for internal safety audits and insurance purposes.

Who Is Responsible for Racking Safety?

While inspectors can identify issues and make recommendations, it’s the employer’s legal responsibility to ensure that all pallet racking systems are safe, compliant, and maintained in accordance with Australian Standards.

That means:

• Ensuring racking is inspected annually

• Acting on any recommendations from inspection reports

• Training warehouse staff to report damage or misuse

• Maintaining accurate records of inspections and repairs

If you’re not already conducting regular racking inspections, now is the time to act.
