We’re committed to quality, which means that we take the details seriously. When it comes to steel pallet racking, one of the more important sets of details are those you’ll find in the Australian Standards 4084-2012.

 

What is AS 4084-2012?

 

AS 4084-2012 is one specific example of what are referred to as Australian Standards. So specific, in fact, that it is a document that sets out just about everything that relates to the quality, safety and reliability of steel pallet racking. Not drive-in racking, not cantilever racking, but steel pallet racking and only steel pallet racking.

 

Australian Standards are the work of the Council of Standards Australia. An organisation that develops specifications for everything from goods and services, to processes and social and environmental impacts.

 

How much do I have to know?

 

We’re always advocates for awareness. You should always know what is going on with your business. But as we said, these documents are very detailed and not every warehousing and logistics manager has time to ensure that they are compliant on their own.

 

In fact, you’re not even supposed to be inspecting your pallet racking all on your own in the first place. AS 4084-2012 features in legislation relating to workplace health and safety, and part of that legislation details mandatory inspections at intervals of no longer than 12 months. Luckily, Erect-A-Rack have got you covered.
