Code of Practice for the Use of Static Pallet Racking (2010) – PDF complimentary copy

The purpose of this Code is to provide information for Users of adjustable pallet racking, drive-in, and drive-through racking, to ensure the effective use of the equipment and that appropriate safety standards are maintained.

Other types of storage systems such as shelving, cantilever, dynamic live storage, rack-supported floors, and crane racking are not within the scope of the document, as the issues regarding the use of these storage systems are different from adjustable pallet racking, drive-in, and drive-through racking.

However, some of the general principles of this code can be applied to other storage systems.

It is important that the User understands how to safely operate, inspect, and maintain the storage equipment. This not only concerns the racking system but also involves the quality and type of
pallets and the correct use of the mechanical equipment to load and offload the racking system.

This complimentary copy is available to End User companies only.
