Warehouse make good services Adelaide

The right make good services can seriously make or break one of the most demanding parts of your Adelaide warehouse move. 

Racking needs to be dismantled, storage equipment needs to be removed, contractors probably need access. And everything has to be completed before the final inspection, often while the business is also trying to move stock and establish a new facility. 

In other words, there is usually a lot to get done, not much time to do it and very little room for surprises. 

At Rackman, we provide warehouse make good services across Adelaide, helping businesses clear industrial storage systems and prepare leased sites for handover. 

From our South Australian operation in Wingfield, our team can inspect your warehouse, remove existing racking and shelving, coordinate the clear-out and assess whether second-hand racking can be purchased or traded. 

The result is a more organised warehouse exit, and fewer moving parts for your team to manage.

Make your warehouse handover easier

  • A warehouse make good is the work required to return a leased facility to the condition agreed under the lease. The exact obligations will vary from one property to another, which may be set out in the lease, agreed with the landlord or property manager, or confirmed as part of the final inspection process. 

    For many industrial tenants, one of the biggest jobs is removing storage equipment installed during the lease. This can include pallet racking, shelving, workbenches, barriers, cages, raised storage areas and other fixed systems. 

    At Rackman, we can manage the storage-related work from beginning to end. Dismantling racking, removing shelving and accessories, sorting reusable equipment, dealing with anchors and fixings, coordinating loading and transport, and clearing the space. 

    Where practical, Rackman can stage the make good so parts of the warehouse remain operational while other areas are cleared. This can be particularly useful for Adelaide businesses that cannot afford to shut down the entire facility during the transition.

Work out what stays, what moves and what goes

Before the first bay is dismantled, it helps to know what is happening to the equipment afterwards. 

Some racking may be worth relocating to your next warehouse. Some may have resale or trade-in value. Other components may be damaged, outdated or simply unsuitable for the new site. 

Rackman can inspect the existing system and help sort the racking into practical categories. 

We look at the brand, dimensions, configuration, condition and quantity of matching components. We also consider whether the system will suit the new warehouse and whether there is current demand for it in the second-hand market. 

If suitable racking has value, Rackman may be able to purchase it or include it in a trade-in arrangement. 

If it makes more sense to reuse the equipment, we can help plan its relocation. Otherwise, we’ll advise on how best to remove components that aren’t useful anymore.

Warehouse make good Adelaide FAQs

A warehouse make good generally involves returning the property to the condition required under the lease. For storage systems, this may include dismantling and removing pallet racking, shelving, barriers, workbenches, cabinets and other installed equipment. It can also involve removing anchors, dealing with fixing points and clearing unwanted components from the site. 

It is best to start planning as soon as your exit date is confirmed. Larger or more complex warehouses may require several stages of work, particularly if the site needs to remain operational during the move. Starting early also gives you time to assess whether existing racking can be sold, traded or relocated.
