Businesses that choose to purchase a pallet rack system undoubtedly hope it will serve as a dependable storage system for years to come, and for good reason. Pallet racking is constructed of steel beams and upright steel frames, so its parts are among the most durable options for industrial shelving available today. However, no product used in industrial operations can withstand years of use without some sort of maintenance being performed, and there are some things you can do to help ensure that your pallet racking system will remain structurally sound and fully operational well into the future.
Install Rack Guards and Bumpers
Pallet rack guards and rack bumpers are two of the best accessories to include on your system. Rack bumpers are installed along the base of the system and provide protection against potential damage that can be caused when material handling equipment, such as forklifts, come into contact with the frame of the pallet racking structure. Rack guards are barriers that are installed near the base of the system and prevent forklifts and other equipment from ever reaching the pallet racking. Both accessories provide outstanding benefits and can help keep your pallet racking system from suffering damage that can jeopardize the structural integrity of the entire system. Most business owners choose to install at least one of these products, while many ultimately add both for the extra security.
Replace Damaged Uprights and Beams
Unfortunately, accidents happen in nearly every line of work, and the material handling industry certainly is no exception. If your main industrial storage system is pallet racking and forklifts or other material handling equipment are utilized in your day-to-day operations, the possibility is always there for the steel beams and uprights to incur incidental damage. The main thing is to be aware of this likelihood and to take steps to be on the lookout for hazards to the system that can be created � and to fix those hazards immediately when they are realized. By conducting routine inspections of your pallet rack system, you can look for dents and cracks that could compromise the stability of your overall system. It�s important that if you recognize any damage to your pallet racking system that you quickly address the issue, because a small problem could lead to much further complications � and costs � down the road. The good thing about racking systems is that individual uprights and cross beams can be replaced, so incurring damage to a portion of your pallet racking won�t necessarily force you to purchase an entire new storage system.
Repair Chips and Cracks in Paint
While minor chips and cracks in the paint of your pallet rack system may seem like a small problem that doesn�t need to be addressed, you must think about the potential problems these issues could lead to in the future, particularly rust and corrosion. Rust and corrosion can seriously compromise the integrity of a pallet racking system, putting the goods you are storing and your employees who work around the system in a dangerous position. It is best to perform monthly checks of your storage system to look for and take care of these minor issues so they don�t spiral into something larger that will lead to incurring more significant costs down the road.
