PALLET SAFETY GATES
FEATURES: Safely load and unload pallets from mezzanine floors. Multiple options to suit requirements.
IDEAL FOR: Mezzanine floors, new installations or retro-fitting to existing structures.
FEATURES: Compact, high-density storage. Optimum use of space with semi-automated FIFO (First In, First Out) or LIFO (Last In, First Out) options.
IDEAL FOR: Warehouses with high turnover of stock, high volumes of pallets, seasonal merchandise, cold and freezer storage, perishable and non-perishable stock.
All racking is required to have a Safe Working Load Sign
Key things to know:
The safe working load limit of the rack needs to be displayed clearly for colleagues to see
The signs should be mechanically fitted in a conspicuous location 2m from the floor
They should be made from corrosion-resistant material
Every sign should include: the suppliers name, safe working loads, height to first beam, and beam pitch
REPAIR: Replace damaged Weight Load Signs or order replacement signs if your storage system has been altered since installation. Need help calculating your safe weight load? We can help.
PREVENT: Ensure all aisles of racking have Weight Load Signs to avoid beams becoming overloaded and unsafe.
Bracing and frames can be hit by moving pallets or MHE.
Key things to know:
Bracing can become torn or bent, compromising the load capacity of the racking
Damage can reduce the capacity of the frames to withstand accidental frontal impact
Deflections should be no more than 10mm in either direction before needing repair
Deflections under 10mm should still be monitored and reassessed at the next inspection
REPAIR: Replace or repair damaged bracing as soon as is required of the SEMA code of practice.
PREVENT: Although sometimes unavoidable, protecting racking frames with impact protection barriers can help reduce how close MHE can get to the racking. Training operators on careful and accurate placement of pallets can also help prevent damage.
Missing bolts and locking pins can result in dislodged components
Key things to know:
FEM recommends all racks are fixed to the floor with at least 1 bolt per base plate
Beam safety locks, or locking pins, provide resistance against accidental beam dislodgement
There should be 2 safety locks per beam
Dislodged beams result in unstable pallet loads and an increased risk of falling from height
Each racking type has a compatible locking pin, do not use nuts and bolts to secure beams to uprights
REPAIR: Order replacement bolts and safety locks. Replace any damaged beams that have become dislodged and require repair.
PREVENT: Regular inspections should include checking for any missing bolts / locks, as well as any dislodgement of beams. Hold stock of safety locks to replace any missing components.
Base plates are essential components for the safety of racking
Key things to know:
All racking should be fixed to the floor using 1 or more bolts per base plate
Unsecured racking is more vulnerable to collapse from impact
Damage to base plates can often cause damage to the floor
REPAIR: Damaged base plates should be repaired or replaced as soon as they pose a safety risk.
PREVENT: Ensure all base plates are secured to an unbroken floor with at least 1 bolt. Protect MHE from hitting uprights and base plates with racking protection guards.
Racking front and rear uprights are often impacted by MHE.
Key things to know:
Bends or twists can compromise the load capacity of the whole racking system
Deflections forwards or backwards should be no more than 3mm before needing repair
Deflections sideways should be no more than 5mm before needing repair
Repairing uprights by welding replacement sections compromises the safety of the system
REPAIR: It’s advised that damaged racking uprights are replaced rather than repaired to ensure safety compliance.
PREVENT: Most damage occurs within the first 600mm of the upright. Protect racking uprights from being damaged in the first place. Protection guards deflect and absorb impact before it can cause damage to the upright.
