Industrial Racking Perth | Rackman Australia
Overview of Industrial Racking Solutions
Industrial racking refers to the wide array of storage rack systems used in factories, warehouses, and commercial facilities to organize materials. In Perth’s busy industrial sector, having the right racking is crucial for safety and efficiency. Rackman Australia’s industrial racking solutions cater to every industry and environment – from manufacturing plants and mining sites to workshops, retail stockrooms, and even offices. Our range includes everything from heavy-duty pallet racking for bulk storage to light-duty shelving for small parts. No matter where you operate or what you need to store, we have a solution that will keep your inventory safe, accessible, and compliant.
Storage built for industrial demands: We understand that industrial workplaces are tough on equipment. That’s why Rackman’s industrial racking systems are engineered to handle the rigors of high use. All our racking is manufactured from quality steel and finished to prevent corrosion or damage. We ensure each system meets Australian Standards (AS 4084-2012/2023) for steel storage racking, so you can trust its load-bearing capacity and safety features. Whether you require selective pallet racking for a high-throughput warehouse or longspan shelving for a workshop storeroom, our products deliver strength and stability where it counts.
Beyond standard options, we also offer specialized racking for unique needs – such as vertical A-frame racks for storing long items upright, cantilever racks for lumber or pipes, and even custom-fabricated solutions for unusual equipment. Our goal is to optimise your space and workflow. By consulting with you on your inventory type, weight, and picking methods, we’ll design an industrial racking layout that streamlines operations and minimises wasted space.
Key Features and Benefits
Rackman Australia’s industrial racking systems come with a host of features designed to benefit your business:
Our racking is built to support industrial weight loads. From pallet racks that hold tonnes per bay to shelving for heavy tools, each system is tested to ensure it can handle your requirements. We clearly label Safe Working Loads and make sure designs have a safety factor above the minimum standard.
Industrial environments can be harsh, so our racks feature durable finishes like powder coating (for indoor use) or hot-dip galvanising (for outdoor or coolroom use) to prevent rust and degradation. They’re designed for long-term use, even with constant loading and unloading.
We provide adjustable racking systems that can evolve with your needs. Beam levels on pallet racking are adjustable to accommodate different pallet heights. Shelving can be reconfigured for different bin sizes. Need to expand later? Modular sections can be added without a complete overhaul.
- All industrial racking is installed to comply with safety regulations. This includes proper anchoring to the floor, safety clips on beams to prevent accidental dislodgement, and options for add-ons like rack protection, mesh backing, or guide rails. By adhering to AS 4084 and WorkSafe WA guidelines, we help you maintain a safe workplace.
- For budget-conscious operations, Rackman offers certified secondhand racking. These pre-owned racks are rigorously inspected, refurbished if needed, and certified safe, providing a cost-effective yet reliable option for industrial racking and shelving. Many small businesses and startups benefit from mixing new and used components to reduce costs while still getting quality storage infrastructure
Industrial racking isn’t one-size-fits-all. We ensure you have access to complementary equipment like steel cabinets for secure tool storage, workbenches to integrate with shelving, and parts bins for small item organization. Our holistic approach means your entire storage area – not just the pallet racks – can be optimized.
Keep your insurance airtight with a racking audit in Perth
You need to conduct regular racking audits and comply with AS4084.1:2023 and AS4084.2:2023 for indemnity insurance coverage. Your insurer will need proof of compliance as well as a comprehensive audit report from us.
Don’t leave your business open to potential liability issues, like negligence claims, that could come as a result of racking failures. It’s never an issue, until it is – and a small mistake or detail can void your insurance and come with significant financial penalties.
But don’t worry. With a racking audit from us, we’ll ensure everything is up to code, giving you full peace of mind and making sure your cover stays intact.

At Rackman Australia, we’ve got over 200 years of combined industry knowledge. Safe to say, we’re racking experts – and we have a dedicated Perth task force for conducting racking audits along with a streamlined system designed to make your job easy.
Our inspectors comply with a stringent OHS Racking Auditors manual. They’re vetted for prior experience and undergo extensive on-the-job training. As a result, our processes are approved by the insurance industry, and backed by our own professional indemnity insurance which covers design, advice, software and auditing.
Ultimately, we believe we offer one of the most affordable and efficient racking audit services in Perth.
Compliance comes with peace of mind
Do I need an audit?
In short, yes. Everyone with pallet racking does. Australian standards now require a safety audit from a qualified third party every 12 months.
Can I do it myself?
Not anymore. Previously, many businesses would self-audit – but this is no longer legal.
What are they going to do, shut us down?
They might! If you don’t comply with Australian standards or make required maintenance within the allocated period – usually a few weeks – Safe Work Australia can shut your operation down. Definitely not worth the risk.
What are the main issues that show up in a racking audit?
The most common damage we see is from forklift tynes, overloading, and tilting or misalignment from poor installation.
