Pallet Rack Safety Inspections & Audits
Most rack failures aren't sudden. The upright that comes down on a Tuesday got hit six months ago, and nobody wrote it down. A rack inspection is how you find that damage while it's still cheap to fix and before it's holding twelve pallets over somebody's head. Rack Man inspects rack systems throughout Sacramento and Northern California. Call (916) 444-7225 to schedule one.

Why Rack Gets Inspected
Rack lives a hard life. Forklifts hit uprights. Loads get placed badly. Beams get moved by whoever needed the height that day. Somebody adds a level. A new tenant inherits a system and has no idea what it's rated for. Every one of those is normal, and every one of them changes what your rack can safely hold — quietly, without anyone deciding anything.
What We Look For
Damaged and deflected uprights, especially at forklift height. Bent or twisted beams. Missing or improperly seated beam connectors and safety pins. Missing footplates, loose or absent anchors, and cracked slab under the baseplate. Out-of-plumb frames. Missing or unreadable load plaques. Decking that doesn't fit, isn't secured, or shouldn't be there. Modifications and field repairs nobody engineered. Loads that don't match what the system was designed for.
What You Get
A clear report: what we found, where it is, how serious it is, and what to do about it — prioritized, so you're not staring at a list with no idea what's urgent. Damage that needs immediate attention gets flagged as such. Damage that's fine to watch gets called out as fine to watch. We don't manufacture emergencies to sell repairs, and we'll tell you when something's in good shape.
Who Should Get One
Anyone who's just taken over a building with rack already in it — you own that system now, and you don't know its history. Anyone whose forklift traffic has increased. Anyone storing something heavier than what they used to. Anyone whose insurer or corporate safety team has started asking questions. And anyone who's had a hit and isn't sure whether it mattered.
We Can Fix What We Find
An inspection that ends in a report and a shrug isn't much use. We repair and replace damaged rack, install column guards and end-of-aisle protection, re-anchor and re-plumb frames, and re-plaque systems with accurate capacities. Because we're a licensed contractor (CSLB #918496) with two acres of rack in stock, we can usually match your existing system and fix it rather than telling you to replace a row.
Prevention Is Cheaper
Most of what we find traces back to the same thing: a forklift hitting steel that had nothing protecting it. Column guards, end-of-aisle protectors, and bollards cost a fraction of a replacement upright and a fraction of a fraction of an incident. If your rack has been hit more than once in the same place, the rack isn't the problem.
