- 01First-grade damage
Cosmetic scratches limited to the paint. They only need monitoring.
- 02Second-grade damage
Surface oxidation that has not pitted the steel, and deflections still within the elastic range (the member returns to its original shape). Replace as soon as possible.
- 03Third-grade damage
Excessive deflections, rust or damage that put the stability of the system at risk. Immediate replacement.
Three damage grades, one clear decision
Rack inspection is a critical process to guarantee worker safety and the correct operation of goods storage systems.
What is checked
- Unsuitable or deteriorated load units (pallets).
- Parts welded or replaced without authorization.
- Overloaded or deformed beams; impacted braces.
- Impacted or dented uprights; broken, crushed or unanchored guards.
- Impacted base plates; cracked or sunken floor.
- Missing beam locks and load levels out of specification.
Industrial rack repairs must be carried out by trained, experienced staff. A specialist from the manufacturer has the knowledge and tools for a safe, effective repair.
