When warehouse racking is damaged, the structure often gets blamed.
But the root cause is usually operational behaviour.
Common causes include:
🚜 Forklift impacts during loading and unloading
📦 Incorrect pallet positioning
⚠ Overloading beyond design capacity
🔧 Unauthorized modifications
These issues are preventable through proper training, supervision, and operational controls.
🔧 Engineered racking systems are designed to perform safely when used correctly.
The question isn't only "Is the rack engineered?"
It's also "Are warehouse practices supporting the design?"
