What to Expect from a Pallet Racking Inspection

Regular pallet racking inspections are critical for maintaining a safe and efficient warehouse. But what exactly should you expect during one?

Here’s a quick breakdown:

✅ Visual Checks for Damage
Inspectors will look for bent uprights, dislodged beams, and signs of impact that could compromise structural integrity.

✅ Load Signage & Capacity Review
Ensuring weight limits are clearly displayed and not exceeded is essential to prevent overloading and collapse.

✅ Floor Fixings & Baseplates
The inspection will confirm racking is securely anchored and that baseplates are intact and compliant.

✅ Component Compatibility
Mismatched parts? A red flag. Inspectors will verify that all components meet manufacturer standards and are compatible.

✅ General Housekeeping
Pallets stacked incorrectly or obstructed aisles? Inspectors will flag any safety risks that impact the safe use of the racking system.

💡 Whether you’re operating a small storeroom or a large-scale distribution centre, staying proactive with inspections helps prevent costly downtime and, more importantly, protects your team.

📅 Tip: Schedule inspections annually (or more frequently in high-traffic or high-risk environments).
