What We Check and What Fails
A rack inspection is not a walk-through and a thumbs-up. ANSI MH16.1 sets measurable limits, and a component either passes them or it does not.
- Uprights and columns: Loaded columns must stay within a 1/240 out-of-plumb and out-of-straight ratio, roughly half an inch of lean or bow per ten feet of height. Anything past that gets unloaded and corrected. We pay closest attention to the bottom four feet, where forklifts strike.
- Anchors and baseplates: Every column anchored, no shared anchors between baseplates, and no cracking in the slab around the plate. In El Paso, we also verify anchor size and embedment against the seismic design the system was built to, since undersized anchors are a common finding on racking relocated here from other markets.
- Beams and connectors: Deflection under load, cracked welds, missing safety clips or drop pins, and beam-to-upright connections seated correctly.
- Braces and decking: Bent, missing, or detached horizontal and diagonal braces compromise the entire bay. Wire decking is checked for seating, waterfall fit, and load spread.
- Load plaques: ANSI MH16.1 requires posted capacity signage showing maximum unit load, total load per bay, and number of levels. Missing plaques are usually the first finding in any audit.
Findings are tagged by severity so you know what has to come out of service today, what gets scheduled, and what simply gets monitored.
Our Inspection Process – From Consultation to Delivery
We streamline the entire inspection process so you get clarity, action, and results with minimal disruption:
- Learn Your Needs: We begin by understanding your facility, the type of racking you use, your traffic patterns, and your storage loads to tailor the inspection scope.
- Find Best Value: Our inspectors deliver detailed analysis and actionable recommendations, helping you prioritize safety issues, repair needs, and investment in maintenance. Racks are walked loaded because empty racks hide beam deflection.
- Deliver Your Report: You will receive a comprehensive inspection report, including photos, findings, corrective actions, and a schedule for any required repairs or follow-up. Our team can also assist with scheduling those follow-ups if needed.
- Schedule Repairs or Re-Inspection: After the inspection, our team can assist with professional rack repair, replacement, or follow-up inspections to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.
