You’re Putting Too Much Pressure On Them

Expecting too much of your companion is a sure fire way to the single life and it’s no different in the warehouse. By overloading your racking, you’re opening up your relationship to nasty problems such as bent racking beams and frame buckling, which could easily lead to a complete racking system failure.

To ensure that you're not putting too much pressure on your racking, always stick to recommended racking loads, if you’re unsure, we can calculate your racking weight limit for you.

You’re Letting Others Hit On Them

It’s not always internal problems that cause relationships to break down, sometimes there are other forces at work. It could be an employee improperly loading and unloading racking, or a forklift operator increasing the chances of a collision by driving too fast.

To eliminate the risk of your relationship being broken by another person, there are a couple of quick and easy changes you can make in your warehouse:

• Train your staff properly on how to properly operate the racking system (a rack safety awareness training course could be just the ticket).
• Ensure forklift training is given to relevant people.
• Implement maximum speed limits.
• Zone out areas with floor markings to prevent vehicles getting too close to racking.

Tip – Wear Protection! One way to ensure your pallet racking isn’t subject to damage from vehicle contact is to install column, frame and corner guards. These guards come at a fraction of the cost of replacement racking and provide adequate protection from forklifts and other moving vehicles in the warehouse.
