Yes. Macrack has been designed and engineered to conform to all Australian standards. The Pallet racking standard used in Australia is;

• AS4084 – 2023, Australian Steel Storage Racking Code
• AS/NZS 4600:2005 Cold Formed Steel Structures Code

Under the standard ONLY the manufacturer can provide weight loadings and performance criteria. However, anyone is allowed to inspect the racking system for damage, and we encourage that the warehouse manager to take on this role, instead of 3rd party inspectors. It is mandatory under the standards the you have your racking inspected on a 12month basis to ensure that your racking is still safe and free from damage, you must do this is order to conform to the latest standards.

Macrack also provides an auditing service, and are happy to inspect your racks.

Asian imported racking not only uses lower quality steel, the companies that manufacture it are fly by night companies.

You are left with an expensive pile of scrap metal that Workplace Health & Safety won’t sign off on.

Don’t panic. All they normally want is to make sure that the racking is installed correctly and or that you have Safe Work Load Signs. Macrack can check these off for you, it does normally require a site visit to ensure that your rack conforms to our engineering standards.

Pallet racking is a ‘system’, not parts that are put together. Therefore if you buy second hand racking, you don’t know what engineering weight loads you can use. This could cause a racking collapse, and put you through a huge amount of grief. Secondly, it’s your business and you are liable… why would you risk second hand materials, that often can’t be certified?
