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 organise 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 rigours 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 specialised 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 organisation. Our holistic approach means your entire storage area – not just the pallet racks – can be optimised.
How Our Racking Addresses Your Industrial Needs
Heavy loads and high turnover:
In an industrial setting, you might be storing palletised raw materials, finished products, machinery parts, or even archives of documents. Our selective pallet racking is ideal for high-turnover pallet storage – it offers direct access to every pallet, which is perfect for fast-paced warehouses and distribution centers. Each rack bay is engineered to handle heavy pallets and the daily use of forklifts, meeting Australian safety standards so you can operate confidently with industrial racking and shelving.
For smaller items or hand-picked inventory, our longspan shelving comes into play. These shelves are perfect for spare parts, cartons, or tools that you need regularly. They have adjustable shelving levels and can be fitted with steel or mesh decks to support various box sizes. Longspan units can be lined along walls or used to create aisle shelving in maintenance rooms or retail backrooms.
Specialised storage:
Many industrial clients have specialty items – for example, lengths of conduit, piping, sheets of metal, or coils of cable. Rather than improvise with the wrong storage, we provide targeted solutions:
- ***Vertical racking/A-frame racks to store long lengths (pipes, timber) vertically and safely (see our Vertical Racking page).
- ***Cantilever racking for lengthy or irregular items like timber planks, steel bars, or furniture components (see Cantilever Racking).
- ***Cable racking systems specifically for cable drums and reels, allowing easy unrolling of cable (see Cable Racking).
By using the right type of rack for each material, you improve safety and efficiency – no more trying to balance a steel sheet on a pallet rack meant for pallets, or wasting space by laying items on the floor. Everything has a designated place.
Flexibility for future growth:
Industrial operations change over time – new product lines, increased volume, or additional equipment. Rackman’s racking is modular, meaning you can extend aisles, add bays, or even relocate the entire system if you move premises. We assist with installation, relocation, and trade-in of racking as needed (our Installation and Relocation service helps businesses adjust their storage as they expand). This flexibility ensures your investment in racking continues to pay off even as your business evolves.
Post-Installation Expectations
After installing Rackman Australia’s industrial racking, you’ll immediately notice a more organised and productive workspace.
Efficiency gains:
Pallets or stock that were once stacked on floors can now be slotted into racking bays, freeing up valuable floor space for equipment or workflow. Your staff will find it easier to locate items because everything is stored systematically. This often translates to faster fulfillment of orders or quicker access to parts during maintenance tasks.
Safety improvements:
Safety improvements are another major post-installation benefit. By storing heavy items on engineered racks, you remove tripping hazards and eliminate the precarious stacks that can collapse. We often hear from clients that workplace incidents related to material storage drop significantly after a racking system is implemented. Racks also delineate clear aisles for forklifts and workers, reducing the chance of accidents. Rackman can further assist by adding safety signage indicating load limits and training your staff on proper racking use and inspection.
Maintenance:
Industrial racking is relatively low-maintenance, but to keep it performing its best, we recommend periodic checks. Post-installation, Rackman will provide guidance on inspecting for damage (for instance, checking if any uprights get dented by a forklift) and how to address it. We offer ongoing support – if a beam or frame ever needs replacing due to an impact, we can supply compatible parts promptly from our Perth or Adelaide stock. We also remind clients about annual safety inspections per Australian standards, something we can conduct as an OHS service. Proper maintenance ensures your racking remains safe and extends its life significantly.
Longevity and warranty:
Our industrial racking systems are built to last for many years of heavy use. We stand behind the quality – Rackman provides warranties on new racking components and guarantees that used components meet safety criteria. With correct usage (like not overloading and promptly repairing any damage), your racking will serve as a durable asset, supporting your operations reliably day in and day out.
Additional Products for a Complete Solution
Rackman Australia’s strength is in offering comprehensive storage solutions. Alongside industrial racking, consider these complementary products and services for a turnkey setup:
- ***Mezzanine Floors: Running out of floor space? Our mezzanine floor solutions allow you to build upward by adding a second level to your facility. We custom-design raised storage areas with proper staircases and safety rails, perfect for storing slow-moving inventory or creating extra work areas above your racking.
- ***Racking Protection and Barriers: Industrial environments have moving equipment like forklifts, so protecting your racking is wise. We supply corner guards, bollards, and guide rails that shield the bottom of racks from collision. These not only prevent accidents but also prolong the life of your racking. (See our Rack Protection and safety barriers offerings.)
- ***Small Parts Storage: Many industrial operations have thousands of small components (nuts, bolts, fittings, etc.). We provide an array of small parts storage systems such as plastic parts trays, bin shelving, and louvred panels for hanging bins. These integrate well with our racks – for example, adding a bay of Parts Storage solutions next to your pallet racks keeps your spare parts organised.
- ***Handling Equipment: Through our shop, you can acquire pallet jacks, trolleys, and pallet cages that complement the racking. A pallet cage can be placed on a rack to hold loose items, then lifted down by forklift when needed. We can advise on these practical additions.
- ***Design and Consultation: If you’re unsure what you need, take advantage of our experience. We offer consultation services where we assess your inventory and space and propose the ideal mix of racking and shelving. Our design team can provide layout drawings and 3D models so you can visualise how the racks will fit in your warehouse.
All these products and services are delivered with Rackman Australia’s hallmark of quality and compliance. We strive to be a one-stop partner for Perth businesses upgrading their storage.
