So you’ve never had pallet racking before and you’d like to learn from the mistakes of others so that you’re well prepared? We like your forward thinking.

We put our thinking caps on and came up with a few of the biggest mistakes that people make in relation to pallet racking.

Not Getting Regular Repairs Done on what’s perceived as “Very Little Damage”

Any damage to racking will reduce its load bearing capacity. Any broken bolts, welds, or pins should be replaced straight away. Where there’s significant damage to the shape of any element of the racking, it should be replaced immediately. If in any doubt, contact our experts on 0800 345 7088 or fill out our contact form.

Not having the Racking in the Correct Spec for their Pallet Size & Weight

Before ordering racking it’s important to be certain of the size and weight of your pallets. When contacting us for a quote for pallet racking, we’d advise on discussing the load capacity level, size of space available, height restrictions, type of forklift truck being used, what is being stored and whether a bolted or welded system is required.

Assuming that Pallet Racking is only for Huge Warehouses

It really doesn’t have to be. As a pallet racking manufacturer, we can provide racking to suit whatever space you have available. We provide pallet racking to pretty much any specification, so that it’s most effective for you.
