What’s Included
In A Pallet Racking Inspection

How our pallet racking inspection works

1. Book your inspection. Call (03) 9238 4560 or send us your site details. We’ll confirm a time that works around your operations — usually within one business day.
2. On-site inspection. Our competent inspector works through your racking bay by bay, checking uprights, beams, bracing, base plates, anchors, safety clips, load signs and alignment against AS 4084:2023.
3. Written report. You receive a report with photos, the exact location of every issue, a Red / Amber / Green risk rating for each item, and clear recommended actions.
4. Repairs, if needed. We hold racking components in stock, so Red and Amber items can be quoted and repaired by the same team — no second contractor, no gap in responsibility.
5. Your next inspection. We’ll note your next due date so your 12-month cycle never slips.

What affects the cost of a pallet racking inspection

Every site is different, so we quote each inspection individually. The main factors are:

• The number of bays and the total length of racking
• Racking height and how easy it is to access
• The type of racking (selective, drive-in, cantilever and so on)
• Whether you need inspection only, or inspection plus a repair quote
• Site access, shift times and whether work must happen outside operating hours

The actual inspection of the racking. This includes a thorough pallet racking inspection that follows the standard’s requirements. This includes but is not limited to:

• Looking for signs of general damage or damage from collisions with forklifts and other materials handling equipment;
• Checking for missing pieces or anything that may have become dislodged;
• Ensuring that no beams or costs have become warped over time or due to overloading;
• Making sure no rust or corrosion is present;
• Checking the alignment of beams and posts.
• A pallet racking inspection report that outlines what may need to be fixed as well as any photos where relevant.
• Confirmation that we inspected the pallet racking to meet AS4084’s obligations.
• A quotation for any work that needs to be done to remedy any defects found during the pallet racking inspection.

What to Watch For Between Inspections

AS4084:2023 requires a qualified inspector to inspect all pallet racking at least once a year, however it’s also recommended that all pallet racking gets inspected more frequently than this. We are happy to conduct more frequent inspections and encourage our clients’ teams to inspect their own racking for things like:

• Loose beams or posts;
• Any obvious physical damage;
• Rust and corrosion.

It’s normal for there to be some wear and tear to pallet racking over time. Structural damage may occur due to accidents as well. Mistaken overloading is preventable, but it can still cause pallet racking to warp, sag, or twist. These are all things to look out for and ensure a safe working environment for everyone.
