Racking audits & compliance
Keep your warehouse operating, your team safe and your racking certified under AS 4084:2023. Independent, bay-by-bay safety audits and remediation across Greater Geelong, the Surf Coast, Ballarat and Western Melbourne.
At a glance
Under AS 4084:2023 (Steel Storage Racking – Operation and Maintenance) and Victorian OHS Regulations, pallet racking must be inspected by a competent person at least once every 12 months. Forklift impacts, twisting and altered beam layouts reduce safe load limits over time. Operating damaged or non-compliant racking risks:
Loss of stock and shutdown of the floor.
Serious harm to your staff.
Invalidated commercial property cover.
Enforceable improvement notices.
Our certified inspectors walk your whole facility, assessing selective, double-deep, drive-in, cantilever and narrow-aisle racking against AS 4084 tolerances.
Upright deflection measured against AS 4084 limits (e.g. over 5.0 mm cross-aisle or 3.0 mm down-aisle), forklift damage to columns, and bent or loose bracing.
Permanent sag and excess deflection, every safety pin present and engaged, and connectors checked for weld tears and fatigue.
Anchor bolts checked for shearing or pull-out, baseplates level and seated, and shims secured.
Safe Working Load signs on every run, beam levels matching the certified configuration, pallet overhang (50 mm nominal) and flue spaces for sprinklers.
Predictable call-out and inspection rates with no hidden consulting fees. Confirmed pricing is provided before we attend.
Annual audit of unaltered systems we installed. Up to 1 hour on site (up to 20 bays) and full compliance reporting.

Every defect is logged using the AS 4084 traffic-light system, so your team knows exactly what can stay in service.
Minor wear within AS 4084 tolerances. Recorded and re-checked at the next 12-month inspection.
Damage exceeds tolerances but isn’t an immediate collapse risk. If not fixed within 4 weeks, it escalates to red.
Severe structural damage. Pallets come off the damaged and adjacent bays straight away, and the bay is isolated until certified parts are fitted.
Sample report
Every inspection ends with a handover pack suitable for safety managers, directors, insurers and WorkSafe inspectors.
Fill in the questionnaire and we confirm a fixed price before we attend.
Bay by bay, measured against AS 4084 tolerances.
Certificate, defect register, layout plan and repair quote.
Our own installers fix red and amber bays from local stock.
Fast repairs
A red-tagged bay costs you storage every day it sits empty. Unlike independent auditors who leave you waiting weeks for a repairer, we keep replacement uprights, beams, frame splices, baseplates and safety locks at our North Geelong warehouse.
Our in-house team carries out the repairs, re-anchors footings, and fits post protectors and rack-end barriers to prevent repeat damage.

At least once every 12 months by a competent person under AS 4084. Busy sites should also run their own routine checks weekly or monthly to catch forklift damage early.
A standard inspection covers up to 20 bays: up to 1 hour for unaltered racking we installed, or up to 2 hours for a new site or third-party racking. Larger sites take longer, charged at $80 + GST per hour.
Yes. We inspect most major brands, including Dexion, Colby, Schaefer, APC, Brownbuilt, Spacerack, Macrack and Elite Built.
It must be offloaded and isolated straight away, along with adjacent bays. We quote the repair and can usually fix it from our North Geelong stock without a long wait.
Every rack run needs a legible Safe Working Load sign. If yours are missing or out of date, we supply and fit AS 4084 signs at $45 + GST each.
