Racking Inspections & Audits

Maintaining a safe warehouse environment is paramount, particularly given the frequency of forklift and racking-related incidents in Australian workplaces. Steel storage racking systems are the cornerstone of efficient warehouse operations, making regular inspections and audits indispensable.

Ensuring the safety, quality and long-term structural of your racking not only guarantees compliance with AS4084:2023 standards, but also proactively identifies hazards and damage.

This early detection prevents costly repairs, extends the lifespan of your racking, and ultimately enhances workplace safety, reduces accidents, and boosts overall efficiency and productivity.
