Have your pallet racking installed by an experienced and insured rack installer
Have your pallet racking installed by an experienced and insured rack installer. Determine if a union or non-union rack installation is required in your new building. Make sure that the floors are level and plumb. Purchase proper anchors and shims. Make sure beams are properly connected with working autolocks to secure beams to uprights. Post rack capacity signage. Do not overload racks. Know the capacity and size limitations of your flow racks.
Have proper lighting that is designed and configured around your rack layout.
Purchase rack reinforcement and protection including column protectors, post protectors and end of aisle protectors to help reduce rack damage.
Regular maintenance of your rack includes repair or replacement of damaged components. Damage uprights and beams can lead to a dangerous rack failure.
