Maintenance & Safety Tips
Essential practices to maintain beam safety and OSHA compliance.
Annual Inspections
Inspect all beams annually for dents, bends, rust, or damaged end-plate connectors. OSHA requires immediate removal from service of any damaged beam — do not weld or straighten bent beams.
Verify Locking Clips
OSHA requires locking safety clips on every beam-to-upright connection. Inspect clips after every beam adjustment — a missing clip is an immediate OSHA violation requiring correction before loading.
Use Column Protectors
Install column protectors and post protectors at all aisle-facing upright bases — forklift impact to uprights transfers stress to beams and connectors.
Respect Load Ratings
Never exceed the load capacity shown on bay placards. OSHA requires load placards on every bay. Overloading transfers excess stress to beam connectors and adjacent uprights.
Certified Rack Audits
Conduct periodic certified rack audits to verify compliance with OSHA and RMI ANSI MH16.1 standards. Pallet Storage Solutions provides certified inspection services — call 734-621-5052.
Operator Training
Train staff on proper forklift clearance near rack structures, correct pallet placement on beams, and the OSHA requirement to report visibly damaged beams immediately for replacement.
Pro Tip: Following these simple maintenance steps ensures safe warehouse operations for years to come. For certified rack inspections or immediate damaged-beam replacement, contact Pallet Storage Solutions at 734-621-5052.

Installation Guide
Tool-free installation designed for minimal disruption in busy warehouse environments. Follow these steps for a secure, OSHA-compliant setup:
Prepare Uprights
Ensure teardrop pallet rack uprights are level, plumb, and securely floor-anchored per local building codes and RMI ANSI MH16.1 requirements before installing any beams.
Position the Beam
Align the teardrop hook connectors on the beam end plates with the corresponding teardrop holes on both uprights at the desired height. Holes are spaced at 2-inch intervals.
Insert & Secure Locking Clips
Install the included safety locking clips through the slots on both beam end plates. OSHA requires locking clips on every connection. Verify both clips are fully engaged before loading.
Load and Verify
Place pallets evenly on beams and confirm stability. Never exceed the rated load capacity displayed on bay placards — OSHA requires placards on every bay before use.
Optional: Add wire decking or beam stops for enhanced product protection and fire code compliance.
For complex installations, our team provides on-site support via our installation services — serving Monroe, MI and nationwide.
