Mobile Racking

Key to maintaining safe rack systems and minimizing down time of your racking system Rack safety, minimize rack down time, regular rack inspections, categorizing damage and taking necessary actions are crucial for the warehousing industry. Companies cannot afford to have unsafe racking systems for many reasons. The consequences of rack collapses and accidents in your cold stores or warehouses have potentially catastrophic impacts on your business. Collapses or accidents can cause injury, fatality, loss of profit, disrupt your ability to service customers and damage business reputation. For a while now Barpro has been promoting the need for a holistic approach to maintain safe racking systems and addressing the potential issues above. Our range of after sales services, preventative maintenance and health and safety products and services do just that. A key part of this offer is for users of racking systems to carry spare parts on site. Why is this so important?? Users of racking systems should be inspecting their racks weekly. Furthermore, they say that racking accidents on site should be reported straight away, and the damage inspected immediately and categorized in accordance with their color code, red, amber and green. Reds are elevated risk damage where racks have been severely damaged and pallets in the affected area must be unloaded. Amber is where pallets don’t have to be unloaded straight away but no more pallets can be loaded. Greens are the damage is within limits and no action is required now but the damage should be monitored. If you don’t carry spare racking parts on site, you can wait up to 8 weeks for parts to be manufactured. Then you must schedule a team to come and do the repairs. This can put your operation under strain as a lot of operations are already short on storage capacity. Carrying the right parts on site a repair team can come in straight away and repair the damaged reds and ambers giving you access to those pallet locations.
