Safety guides, compliance updates, equipment comparisons, and expert advice to help you run a safer, more efficient warehouse.
Safety
OSHA doesn't have a specific racking standard, but the General Duty Clause applies and insurance carriers expect documented inspections. Here's a practical checklist.
Equipment
Cold storage racking isn't just regular racking in a cold room. Freezer environments create material, design, and operational challenges that standard specs don't account for.
Compliance
If your warehouse stores commodity or high-hazard products above 12 feet, California requires a high-pile storage permit. Here's the full breakdown.
Equipment
Wire decking isn't optional in most warehouse installations — fire codes require it, insurers expect it, and it prevents the kind of accidents that shut down operations.
Equipment
The loading dock is the highest-traffic, highest-risk area in most warehouses. The right equipment makes the difference between efficient operations and constant bottlenecks.
Industry News
When you buy from a dealer, you get one manufacturer's catalog. When you work with a broker, you get access to 250+ manufacturers and the ability to spec the best-fit product — often at a better price.
Equipment
Forklift impacts happen in every warehouse. The question isn't whether your racking will get hit — it's knowing when damage requires a full replacement versus a certified repair kit.
ROI
Used racking can save 30-50% over new — but it's not always the right call. Here's a detailed breakdown of when to buy new, when to buy used, and the critical questions most buyers forget to ask.
Compliance
California's seismic codes apply to pallet racking just like buildings. If your racking isn't engineered and permitted for your seismic zone, you're exposed — legally and physically.
Equipment
Pallet racking isn't one-size-fits-all. This guide breaks down the major racking types, when each one makes sense, and what most buyers get wrong.
