MATERIAL HANDLING RESOURCE

A Practical Racking Inspection Checklist

Review common warehouse racking conditions that facility teams should watch for during routine visual inspections.

Items to review

Look for visibly damaged or twisted uprights, bent beams, missing beam safety devices, damaged anchors, impact at aisle ends, overloaded locations and changes to the original rack configuration.

Aisles and protection

Column guards, end-of-aisle protection, clear travel paths and good housekeeping can support a safer material-handling environment.

When conditions change

Moving beams, changing pallet weights or reconfiguring a system can alter capacity requirements. Confirm that modifications are appropriate for the loads and equipment being used.
