The Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) has specific testing requirements for pallet racking and wire decking. Most of the larger pallet rack & wire decking manufacturer's are members of RMI. If you are buying a product and it has the "R-Mark" it tells you that the product has been quality tested. The pallet rack and wire decking that my company sells have been manufactured to RMI specifications.

There are some things to consider when you select, install, use and maintain your pallet rack system:

Before buying racking system you should analyze the volume of activity and number of SKU's in your warehouse to determine the appropriate amount of rack.

Choose a rack layout that best suits your building and requirements. Try to design the rack layout to reduce steps and increase efficiency.

Develop a rack elevation which shows number of beam levels and spacing of beam levels.

Develop a bill of material (B.O.M) with quantity and sizes of upright frames and beams.

Match your forklift trucks to best service your rack. Buy the proper equipment and make sure that your forklift operators have the proper required training. This will also help minimize the chance of rack damage.
