What Is a Pallet Racking Inspection?

A pallet racking inspection is a detailed safety assessment carried out by a competent person to verify your racking remains structurally sound, correctly installed, and operating within designed load capacities.

Inspections focus on identifying damage to uprights, beams, frames, anchors, and protection systems that may compromise safety and compliance if left unaddressed.

Why Pallet Racking Inspections Are Required

Under AS4084:2023, pallet racking systems should be regularly inspected to ensure they remain safe for use. WHS legislation places a duty of care on PCBUs to maintain safe plant and equipment — including racking exposed to forklift traffic.

  • Reduce risk of racking collapse or load failure
  • Support WHS and insurance audit requirements
  • Identify damage early to minimise downtime and repair costs

What Our Racking Inspection Covers

  • Uprights, frames, and beams
  • Anchor bolts and floor fixings
  • Load signage and beam capacity compliance
  • Upright protection and end-of-aisle protection
  • Evidence of forklift impact or structural deformation
  • General installation compliance with AS4084

All findings are documented and categorised by risk level so you can prioritise corrective actions efficiently.

How Often Should Pallet Racking Be Inspected?

AS4084 recommends pallet racking inspections at least once every 12 months by a competent person. In addition, regular internal visual checks should be conducted by site staff to identify obvious damage between formal inspections.

High-use sites (3PL, manufacturing, busy distribution centres) may require more frequent inspections to maintain safety and compliance.

What Happens If Damage Is Found?

If damage or non-compliance is identified, ISR provides clear recommendations based on severity. This may include:

  • Immediate unloading of affected bays (where required)
  • Repair or replacement of damaged components
  • Protection upgrades (upright/end guards) to prevent repeat impacts
  • Load rating corrections or signage updates

Our aim is to restore compliance quickly and safely — with minimal disruption to your operation.
