Pallet Racking
To maintain adjustable pallet racking, you should regularly inspect the racking for any signs of damage, such as bent or broken beams or loose connections. Make sure that pallets are properly loaded and that the weight is distributed evenly. Keep the area around the racking clean and clear of debris. Train your employees on proper racking safety procedures, and also arrange a SEMA racking inspection regularly.
There are several types of pallet racking you can get, including adjustable pallet racking, drive-in/drive-through racking, push-back racking, and cantilever racking. Each type is designed for specific storage needs and can be used in varying warehouse layouts.
