Before ordering your pallet racking, you should really consider maintenance. If the racking is operated according to the guidelines, it should be relatively maintenance free. Just keep it clean. Note though that there will be regular inspections. These will particularly be on the lookout for any damage to the racking. You also may need to consider Pallet Racking Accessories for the protection of your racking.

Any damage to racking will reduce its load bearing capacity. Damage that alters the shape of any part of the racking, including bolts/pins, or any breakages in welds should be replaced straight away. Get in touch with us and we can help!

How to Prevent Pallet Racking Damage?

There are several pallet racking accessories that can certainly help prevent damage to your racking system.

Pallet racking protection accessories aren’t essential. However, we’ve seen accidents happen many times where substantial damage is done to the racking system that could have been prevented with some inexpensive accessories.
