Our Plan for Pallet Rack Installation
Space Assessment:
Measure floor area, ceiling height, and identify obstacles like pillars or beams. Ensure the racking system fits your layout, meets seismic requirements, and can be securely anchored to a stable floor.
Storage Needs:
Evaluate the type, size, and weight of items you’ll store. Choose a racking system that meets your capacity, accessibility, and inventory rotation needs (FIFO/LIFO).
Rack Selection:
Based on space and storage needs, select racks that accommodate your operation’s requirements, including floor capacity, ceiling height, and forklift access. Consider future growth.
Safety Compliance:
Adhere to OSHA and local safety regulations. Train personnel, use PPE, and secure necessary permits with engineer approval before installation.
OSHA requirements for Warehouse Racking
OSHA mandates that warehouse racking systems meet safety standards, including load ratings, stability, and collapse prevention. Regular inspections, maintenance, and adherence to load limits are required. Racking must also avoid obstructing fire safety equipment or exits and must be properly anchored and aligned.
Why Seismic Zones Matters in Warehouse Rack
Seismic zones are crucial for warehouse racking as they determine the level of earthquake resistance required to ensure safety and compliance. Properly designed racking systems in high-risk seismic areas prevent collapses, protecting inventory, employees, and operations. Adhering to seismic standards reduces damage, minimizes downtime, and enhances overall warehouse stability.
