When you’re managing dense, oversized, or awkward inventory in Adelaide, you need heavy duty racking. Standard racking won’t cut it – you need a racking solution designed specifically to hold significant weight, maintain safety under pressure, and adapt to changing warehouse demands. At Rackman Australia, we supply and install heavy-duty racking systems across Adelaide that are built for strength, compliance, and performance.
Whether you’re operating from a manufacturing plant in Wingfield, a defence logistics site in Edinburgh, or a transport hub near the Port of Adelaide, our racking is tailored to your space and sector. We design for real-world conditions like seismic load ratings, forklift traffic, extreme heat, and high turnover.
Our racking systems are built to comply with Australian Standard AS 4084:2023, meaning every beam, upright, and bolt meets strict performance and safety criteria. With heavy-duty racking from Rackman, you’re not just buying steel – you’re investing in long-term operational safety and efficiency.
Heavy duty racking is a form of industrial pallet racking engineered to support multi-tonne loads per shelf level. Our systems typically support 2,000 kg to 4,000 kg per beam level, with custom-engineered options available for even heavier items. It’s the go-to solution for industries handling:
The design includes thick-gauge steel beams and uprights, reinforced baseplates, high-strength locking pins, and bolted floor anchors. We also offer optional mesh decking, beam safety clips, and guide rails to reduce risk and wear.
Not all warehouse conditions are the same, and Adelaide brings its own set of environmental and industrial factors. That’s why Rackman’s heavy duty racking solutions are designed to perform across the diversity of SA industries.
Powder-coated finishes prevent corrosion from internal heat, while hot-dip galvanised options offer protection in humid or partially open environments like wineries or produce storage.
Warehouses in Adelaide’s northern suburbs and industrial estates are often busy, high-traffic operations. We install guide rails, safety zones, and other forms of protection to prevent accidental rack impact.
Every racking system is engineered for high uniform distributed loads (UDL). Whether you’re storing tonnes of mining equipment or multiple pallets of steel stock, each beam level is tested to withstand the demands of your inventory.
Our systems grow with you. Add new bays, extend existing aisles, or adjust shelf heights to accommodate different stock profiles. We offer products such as:
To ensure maximum safety, our racking includes:
When storing high-weight goods, safety must come first. Improper racking systems or makeshift storage solutions can create hazards, delay orders, and increase risk of injury.
With Rackman:
We recommend and can provide annual inspections per AS 4084 guidelines, ensuring your system continues to meet compliance and safety benchmarks. We can also train your staff on load distribution, safe use of pallet cages on racks, and spotting signs of wear as part of our post-installation support.
From Roxby Downs to Moomba, South Australia is a major resource hub. We support companies storing drill heads, tools, parts, and pipeline components. Our heavy duty racks withstand rough usage, impacts, and long-term wear – even in remote depots.
Edinburgh Parks is a defence and advanced manufacturing hotspot. Heavy tooling, raw materials, and sensitive components need reliable storage infrastructure. Our systems are rated, certified, and suitable for high-security operations.
With Adelaide’s growing freight sector and strong road-rail links, logistics companies need racking that won’t fail under daily forklift traffic and tight turnaround times. We offer fast installs and efficient layout designs to improve workflow and reduce congestion.
In regions like the Barossa and McLaren Vale, many producers store palletised wine, barrels, or agricultural product. Heavy duty racking helps protect that investment – especially in coolroom or partially open sheds where galvanised finishes prevent rust.
Every warehouse layout is different, and we know that heavy-duty racking is never ‘one-size-fits-all’. At Rackman Australia, we design racking systems that support your growth from day one. Whether you’re storing high-SKU inventory, slow-moving products, or oversized gear, we take a consultative approach to maximise your space and streamline your operation.
Our Adelaide-based team conducts onsite assessments and creates CAD layouts that factor in:
With proper planning, your racking becomes more than storage – it becomes infrastructure that supports productivity, reduces downtime, and helps avoid costly relocations later.
A heavy-duty racking system isn’t complete without the right accessories. We supply a wide range of add-ons to extend functionality and improve safety:
Ideal for odd-shaped or smaller cartons that can’t sit directly on beams. Also improves fire safety by allowing water penetration from sprinklers.
For heavier loads that require a full surface area, or where operators need to hand-pick items.
Installed at floor level to reduce impact risks and guide machinery through narrow aisles.
Compliant SWL (Safe Working Load) signs help staff and visitors instantly understand the maximum safe limits of each racking bay.
By integrating these accessories upfront, you not only reduce wear and tear but also promote safer workflows – especially in high-turnover environments.
