Pallet Racking is the heart of any warehouse operation. Installing pallet racking allows you to maximise your space by creating multi-level shelving. It provides easy access to goods and greater storage capacity, enabling you to make the most out of your warehouse.
For more information, please visit Maxrac.
Pallet racking is constructed from steel components that typically bolt or slot together similarly to the scaffolding that is often noticed on construction sites. The racking enables users to utilise air space and store pallets one above the other without loading directly on top. The racking can be many metres high in a large warehouse with automated retrieval machines, effectively creating a three-dimensional pallet storage cube.
The cost of the pallet racking you choose will vary depending on the manufacturer and the quality of racking you choose. When comparing prices, be sure you are comparing the same type of system. Selective pallet racking is generally the cheapest racking system.
Yes, you can install racking yourself; however, you need to be aware of the installation criteria set out in AS- (Australian Standard for Steel Storage Racking ) to ensure full compliance. You should also consider the access equipment and other tooling required to erect pallet racking safely. It is highly recommended you hire a team of specialists with the correct qualifications and experience to install this. That way, you are guaranteed the new system is compliant.
Yes, each separate run of Pallet Racking is to have a SWL sign to display the maximum loads it can hold and other necessary information. Below is an extract from the guidelines set from AS- (Australian Standard for Steel Storage Racking ):
A racking installation shall comply with all of the following:
(a) The racking installations shall have, in one or more conspicuous locations, a
permanent, corrosion-resistant plaque not less than 125 mm long and 250 mm high
with maximum load action figures, written in a large font of at least 25 mm high,
mechanically secured to the racking structure at 2 m above the floor level, which shall
display the following:
(i) Permissible working unit load limit.
(ii) Permissible total working unit load limit for each pallet beam level.
(iii) Permissible total working unit load limit for each bay.
(iv) Designer's name.
(v) Racking manufacturer's name, supplier's name and trademark, and the
installation date.

The process that will be explained is the installation of a standalone bay of teardrop pallet rack. In our example, it will be demonstrated with two people installing the system. This is because, in practice, you always want to have at least two people installing the racking. It will help the installation go more smoothly and lower the risk of injury. To get your racking set up, you should have two frames and at least four cross beams. You may also have wire decks and pallet support bars, which come last in the installation process.
Before installation, we recommend marking where each beam will be slotted so there&#;s no need to worry about the beam being level. Let&#;s get started!
