Cantilever Racking Safety Inspections & Audits

Cantilever Racking Inspections & Audits (Sydney & NSW)

Keep long, bulky or awkward loads stored safely. We conduct cantilever racking inspections across Sydney & NSW, assessing arms, columns, bases, bracing and fixings against manufacturer instructions and recognised engineering standards (AS 4100 / AS/NZS 4600, with actions per AS/NZS 1170) and aligning with cantilever guidance (FEM / SEMA / ANSI). You’ll receive clear remediation advice and documentation for your records.

Why book an ISR cantilever inspection?

  • Engineer-aligned methodology – assessed to AS 4100 / AS/NZS 4600 + FEM/SEMA/ANSI cantilever guidance
  • Independent, practical advice – clear photos, severity ratings and priorities
  • Minimal disruption – fast walk-through while operations continue
  • Actionable repair plan – what to fix, by when, and the safest way to do it
  • Proof for WHS / insurance – report pack, defect register and close-out support

Typical turnaround: 3–5 business days for your report pack (faster on request).

What our audit covers

  • Arms (deflection, cracks, end-stops & bolts present and secure)
  • Columns/uprights (plumb tolerance, impact damage, local buckling)
  • Bases & floor fixings (anchor quantity/spacing & torque, base plate condition, slab integrity)
  • Bracing & connections (looseness, missing members, fastener integrity)
  • Load conditions (overhang, eccentric loads, variability, outdoor wind exposure)
  • Signage & documentation (SWL charts current, configuration/approval changes recorded)

Deliverables: photo-rich inspection report with traffic-light severity ratings; defect register and remediation plan; compliance summary to the referenced standards; re-inspection available for close-out.

How often should cantilever racking be inspected?

At least annually by a competent third party, plus regular in-house visual checks. For outdoor or heavy-duty use, many sites choose 6-monthly third-party inspections.

FAQs

Does AS 4084 apply to cantilever racking?

No—AS 4084:2023 covers pallet racking. For cantilever, we assess to manufacturer instructions and engineering standards such as AS 4100 / AS/NZS 4600 with load actions per AS/NZS 1170, and align with FEM/SEMA/ANSI guidance for cantilever systems.

How long does a cantilever inspection take?

Most single-site inspections are completed the same day. Larger yards or multiple buildings are scheduled to suit your operations.

Do you provide pricing upfront?

Yes—fixed-fee quotes based on arm/bay counts, number of structures and travel.

What happens if defects are found?

Your report prioritises issues (e.g., immediate make-safe vs planned repair), includes photos and practical guidance, and we can re-inspect once remedial works are complete.
