Rack Inspection
Rack inspection is a systematic assessment of your pallet rack's structural condition. A qualified inspector walks every aisle, checks every visible upright, beam, and connection for damage, overloading, and code compliance, and delivers a report with findings and recommended actions. RMI recommends annual professional inspections. Your insurance carrier may require them.

When You Need Rack Inspection
- ✓You haven't had a professional rack inspection in over a year
- ✓Your insurance carrier requires documented inspection reports
- ✓An OSHA audit or safety review has been scheduled or triggered
- ✓You've experienced a near-miss incident (product falling, partial rack failure)
- ✓You're acquiring or leasing a warehouse with existing rack and need to assess its condition
- ✓You want to establish a baseline inspection program for ongoing safety management
What to Expect
- 1Inspector walks every aisle and visually examines all accessible rack components
- 2Damage assessment — each damaged component is tagged, photographed, and categorized by severity
- 3Severity classifications: green (monitor), yellow (repair soon), red (unload immediately)
- 4Overload checks — comparing actual loads to posted capacity plaques
- 5Code compliance review — load plaques, anchor bolts, safety clips, seismic requirements
- 6Written report with photos, findings, severity ratings, and recommended actions
- 7Priority list — what to fix first, based on risk level
What Drives Cost
- •Facility size (number of pallet positions to inspect)
- •Number of aisles and rack types (selective, drive-in, cantilever each require different assessment criteria)
- •Level of detail — basic visual inspection vs. comprehensive assessment with measurements
- •Whether the inspector is local or traveling (travel costs add up)
- •Report format — basic findings list vs. detailed engineering report with PE stamp
- •Follow-up — some inspectors offer repair coordination as an add-on service
Safety & Compliance
ANSI MH16.1 Section 1.4.9 requires the rack owner to maintain rack in safe condition and to perform regular inspections. RMI (Rack Manufacturers Institute) recommends professional inspections at least annually. Many insurance carriers require documented inspections as a condition of coverage. In the event of a collapse or injury, the inspection report (or lack thereof) becomes a key document in liability determination.
