Points of attention

Points of attention

The visual inspection is always performed from ground level, unless there is indication of a comprehensive control over the full height of the storage system. This is always provided that a safe means of access is used (height lift, scissor lift, etc.). Climbing via the storage rack is never allowed.

The following are checked:

  • Visual check for deformation of the uprights, beams, diagonals, braces, shelves, cantilever arms, etc. based on the (color code) classification system
  • Overload and uneven load based on the (color code) classification system
  • Collision Damage
  • Perpendicularity of the styles
  • Condition of the shims and anchors
  • Warehouse floor condition
  • Presence of the locking pins in the uprights/beams
  • Condition of the crash barriers
  • Condition of the welds
  • Presence tax board with correct info
The cost of an inspection

The cost associated with inspecting your racking depends entirely on the size of your warehouse. In addition, the number of racks to be inspected and the number of locations affect the cost. During an inspection, our experts not only check whether your racking has any defects, but think along with you directly to find solutions. Often even within one day.
