Inspections & Compliance (AS 4084:2023)
How often should pallet racking be inspected in NSW?
As a general rule, have a competent person perform a documented inspection at least annually and after any impact or layout change. We provide formal audits aligned to AS 4084:2023 with a risk-rated report and action list.
Do you issue inspection certificates and load signage?
Yes — we include a compliance summary and can supply or replace load signs showing bay loads, beam levels and contact details. We also quote any repairs required to bring the system back to safe use.
Can you inspect cantilever racking and mezzanine floors?
Absolutely — we inspect cantilever systems and mezzanine floors, checking upright plumb, arm deflection, fixings, handrails, stairs and decking conditions. Ask us to include them when you request a quote.
Pallet Racking
What pallet racking types do you supply and install?
Selective, Double-deep, Drive-in/Drive-through, Push-back, Carton live, Pallet live, and custom layouts. We provide design, supply, install, repairs and periodic inspections.
Do you handle repairs and damaged components?
Yes — we replace damaged uprights, beams, base plates and bracing. We can also supply column guards, end-of-aisle barriers and mesh backs to reduce future impact risk.
Cantilever Racking
What is cantilever racking best for?
Ideal for long or awkward loads like timber, steel, pipes, plasterboard and extrusion. We offer single or double-sided outdoor-ready systems with hot-dip galvanised options.
Can you inspect existing cantilever racking?
Yes — we check base fixings, upright plumb, arm capacity, corrosion and safe loading practices, then issue a report with priorities and quotes for remediation.
Mezzanine Floors
Do mezzanine floors need approvals or engineering?
In most cases you’ll need engineering and may require council/CDC approvals depending on use, fire egress, and load class. We provide engineered designs, handrails, stairs, pallet gates and decking options (board or steel).
What live loads can you design for?
Typical designs range from 2.5–5.0 kPa (light to heavy duty) and can be tailored to storage type, equipment and traffic. We’ll confirm loads during quotation and provide documentation on completion.
Mesh Decks & Accessories
Mesh decks vs timber — which should I choose?
Mesh decks improve fire sprinkler penetration, visibility and hygiene; timber is lower cost but may limit sprinkler effectiveness. We’ll recommend the right option for your loads, environment and insurer requirements.
Do mesh decks have load ratings?
Yes — each deck has a rated uniformly distributed load (UDL) based on beam spacing. We supply spec sheets and can label each bay for clarity.
Quotes, Lead Times & Service Areas
How fast can I get a quote and installation?
Simple jobs: same or next business day quotes. Install lead times vary by stock and scope — we’ll confirm dates in your proposal and can stage works to minimise downtime.
Which areas do you service?
Sydney metro & greater NSW — including Wetherill Park, Eastern Creek, Smithfield, Arndell Park, Campbelltown, Newcastle and Wollongong. For regional projects, contact us to discuss schedules.
Do you work with existing layouts or provide new designs?
Both — we can optimise your current layout or create a new design to increase capacity, safety and picking efficiency. Ask about CAD drawings and load signage.
