Case study: Tips for keeping food/beverage warehouses and distribution centers safe, compliant and productive
As regulations change and warehouse requirements become more complex, partnering with an expert can help to ensure durable, cost effective, compliant storage rack
While it was once common for the majority of food and beverage warehouse managers to purchase standard storage racks that could be “quick-shipped” from rack manufacturers’ stocked inventory, this is occurring less often as racking becomes more specialized and regulations stricter.
Today, storage rack systems are generally considered a building-like element, so are often subject to a variety of federal, state, and local regulations. These ordinances are continuing to evolve—perhaps none more so than seismic standards—and can become a pitfall for warehouse managers unfamiliar with them.
