Axelent gives tips for a safe warehouse

Tailor your forklift aisles for operational efficiency, and invest in superior pallet racking systems to save on long-term costs and maintenance. Ensure every element, from dimensions to equipment like column guards and mesh decking, meets the highest standards. With meticulous planning and the right infrastructure, create a safe environment that evolves with your business.

We guide you in how to get a safe warehouse:

  • Educate and engage your staff
  • Prepare for and adapt the warehouse to future changes; think about how your business will evolve over time
  • Good lighting is crucial for safety
  • Make sure you have properly designed forklift aisles tailored to your business; the dimensions and width depend on the type of forklift you use

 

 

  • Acquire a high-quality, stable pallet racking system. A good-quality pallet rack is a big investment but it’s much more cost effective to do things properly from the beginning rather than having to rebuild, modify and supplement afterwards. A lower-quality pallet rack also requires more maintenance and repairs, which can be costly in the long run.
  • Make sure that the entire pallet rack is properly dimensioned, i.e. that the dimensions are chosen according to the standard for current loads and heights
  • Provide the right equipment in the form of impact guards, anti-collapse protection, mesh decking and mesh shelves.
