In today’s fast-moving warehouses establishing and maintaining safe working environments is vital. Storax SP pallet racking ranges offer dependable performance and can be accessorised to protect not only your goods but also your other valuable assets – your people.

If your stock doesn’t demand this degree of protection, Storax SP racking can be fitted with simple pallet backstops that perform the task of preventing pallets being pushed out of the backs of racks. Fitting Storax floor-mounted column guards and rack end protector kits not only protects your racking against truck impact but can also create high-visibility demarcation between racks and pedestrian walkways to further enhance safety.

Installing P&D (‘Pick-up and Deposit’) stations onto the ends of Storax SP pallet racking means that dedicated trucks work exclusively within aisles while ‘feeder’ trucks transfer pallets between the P&D station and goods in/despatch points. This improves pallet put-away and retrieval rates while also minimising the number of trucks that are operating in communal warehouse areas, reducing the risk to pedestrians and operatives.

While considering how to look after your assets, remember that your warehouse racking is a valuable resource in its own right, too! Regular inspection and maintenance will help to ensure that your racks remain safe and serviceable, extending the life of your investment. Properly cared for, pallet racking can be used confidently for decades. Storax recommend that you employ the services of a qualified, trained assessor – for example, a SEMA Approved Racking Inspector (SARI) – to be sure that you receive professional, comprehensive, impartial advice.

If an inspection results in the need to unload and de-commission racking bays until repairs are complete, you’ll want the remedial work to be carried out promptly so that your warehouse capacity is restored to normal levels as soon as possible. Storax SP80 SEMA-compliant racking is available from stock in the UK through a network of trade dealers. Ex-stock availability means that components for future repairs and add-ons to SP80 SEMA-compliant installations can be completed quickly, keeping downtime to a minimum.
