Pallet Rack System-Specific Inspections

Each storage system has its own unique features and functions. A drive-in pallet rack requires a different inspection approach than selective, pallet flow, push-back, or cantilever racks.

The Apex team eliminates the guesswork. Our certified rack inspection experts understand the intricacies of each system's design and functionality, enabling them to identify unique safety risks.

5 Areas of Immediate Warehouse Safety Concern

Upright Damage

Safety is our top priority at Apex. When our team finds any of the following in your facility, you will be notified, and we will recommend that the rack be immediately unloaded.

Unanchored Racks: Racks that are not securely anchored pose a significant risk of tipping or collapsing, especially under load.
Severe Beam Damage: Any beam showing severe damage, such as creasing or buckling, should be unloaded immediately to prevent structural failure.
Upright Damage: If an upright is completely creased or out of plumb, it compromises the entire rack system’s stability and should be addressed without delay.
Excessive Strut Damage: Inspect for any excessive damage to struts or multiple damaged struts within the frame line or row, as this can weaken the structural support.
Multiple Damaged Items: A row or system with multiple damaged items should be unloaded to prevent further risks and to assess the extent of the damage.
