Pallet Racking System FAQ: Smithfield NSW
Common questions from Smithfield businesses about specifying, installing, and maintaining a pallet racking system.
What Types of Pallet Racking System Does Warehouse by Design Supply in Smithfield?
We supply ColbyRACK selective, double deep, narrow aisle, drive-in, push-back, and satellite (RapidRunner) pallet racking systems. Selective racking is the lowest-cost option and gives operators access to every pallet without shuffling stock. Drive-in suits large quantities of a single SKU and operates on a first-in, last-out principle. We’ll recommend the right configuration for your throughput and floor plan.
Does My Pallet Racking System Need to Be AS 4084 Compliant in NSW?
Yes. All pallet racking in Australia must meet AS 4084 Steel Storage Racking, which covers design, installation, and operation. Every ColbyRACK system we supply is certified through the Colby RackMan programme, which guarantees load capacity meets and often exceeds AS 4084 requirements. A Load Rating sign is also compulsory and must be permanently fixed to the structure.
How Often Does Pallet Racking Need to Be Inspected?
Under AS 4084-2012, all racking installations must be formally inspected by a competent person at least once every 12 months, regardless of load or traffic levels. Warehouse by Design carries out these audits, provides a detailed damage report, and recommends repairs to keep your system safe and compliant.
Can My Pallet Racking System Be Expanded Later?
Yes. Selective and double-deep ColbyRACK systems are fully adjustable and can be extended as your storage needs grow, provided floor space is available. We design layouts with future capacity in mind so additions integrate cleanly rather than compromising the existing structure.
