Problems we solve
Most calls start with one of these. Find yours and we'll point you to the products that fix it.
Pallets are creeping into your flue space
When flue space closes up, sprinklers can't reach a fire inside the rack. It's one of the most common fire-code violations we see.
Keep flue space open →A forklift bent one of your uprights
A damaged column is a collapse waiting to happen. Bolt-on repair kits bring the frame back to its rated capacity without tearing the bay down.
Repair without a teardown →Forklifts keep clipping the base of your rack
Column and post guards take the hit where damage concentrates, so an outrigger nudge doesn't turn into a bent frame.
Protect your uprights →Product is falling into the aisle
Loads pushed out the back of the rack are what OSHA 1910.176(b) asks you to secure against. Netting, straps, and mesh backing catch them first.
Contain the load →Wood decking won't pass fire code
Drop-in steel wire and solid decking is stronger than particleboard and lets sprinkler water through the way NFPA 13 expects.
Switch to steel decking →The risk isn't only the racking
The same forklifts threaten walkways, machinery, and dock doors. Guard rail, bollards, and column protectors harden the rest of the floor.
Harden the facility →Industry experience
Decades inside warehouses, distribution centers, and 3PLs.

Focus
Pallet rack and warehouse safety is all we do.
We also keep rack safe
We're a product company first. When the racking is already in place, we also help keep it safe, with safety audits, repairs, and structural re-engineering.
Rack Safety Audits
On-site inspection of your pallet racking against RMI/ANSI MH16.1 and OSHA criteria. Inspectors document damaged uprights, overloaded beams, missing safety clips, and out-of-tolerance deflection, then hand you a prioritized damage report and a reusable checklist for routine safety rounds.
Request this service →Rack Repairs & Remediation
Repair and remediation for damaged uprights, beams, and frames, using engineered repair kits designed to restore each component to its original load-bearing capacity. We build the repair plan around your facility and bring in a licensed professional engineer when a job calls for a stamped design, so damaged racking comes back to compliance without a full teardown.
Request this service →Structural Re-Engineering
When loads or configurations change, we re-evaluate your existing rack against what you actually store, recommending beam-level, capacity, and load-application changes that keep the system within its rated limits, with a licensed professional engineer engaged when the change calls for a stamped review.
