Pallet
rack is not simply for storing stuff. Its other main function
is to increase safety in warehouses. Once you choose the appropriate
type of pallet rack for your warehouse and keep it in good
condition, your employees and company will experience fewer
safety concerns.
Here are the chief ways to use your pallet rack system to
its fullest safety potential:
-
Always buy pallet rack from a reputable company like Ace
Overstock.
-
Quickly replace pallet rack that is damaged. Forklift accidents
can rust could potentially cause pallet rack to collapse.
-
Keep your pallet rack clean.
-
Never mix brands of pallet rack unless you get advice from
experts. Call Ace Overstock or check with the pallet rack
manufacturers.
-
Try to leave as much space as possible for employee movement,
forklifts, fire sprinkler water, etc.
-
Optimize your pallet rack system so that employees don’t
have to move, lift, and carry items unnecessarily.
-
Minimize forklift use with proper pallet rack organization.
(Forklifts cause the majority of warehouse accidents.)
-
Make your warehouse as bright as possible with proper lighting.
-
Enroll your employees in continuing education and training
for warehouse safety issues.
-
Don’t be shy about posting signs and instructions
on pallet rack and other equipment.

Inspect your pallet rack regularly for unsafe conditions.
-
Use shrink wrap, decking, and other load-stabilizing options.
-
Watch the weight loads on your pallet rack and never overload
it.
