Warehouse Inspections, Audits & Repairs

Keeping your warehouse racking compliant, safe, and operational is not optional. Regular warehouse inspections and timely required repairs are essential to meet New Zealand safety standards, reduce risk, and protect your people, stock, and operations.

Storepro provides independent, professional warehouse detailed racking inspections, followed by clear repair recommendations and execution where required. We don’t just identify issues and leave it at that, with our reports help you resolve them properly.

Our inspections go beyond a basic compliance checklist. Every audit is carried out by a qualified racking inspector with a minimum of five years of pallet racking experience and includes:

• A detailed audit report with damage classified as:
  • Red – critical damage requiring immediate action
  • Amber – damage that must be addressed to maintain compliance
  • Green – acceptable condition

• Clear recommendations to address both Red and Amber issues to ensure ongoing compliance
• A component-level damage list with precise locations and specification of material 
• A detailed repair quotation, where repairs are required
• A warehouse floor plan showing racking layout and damage locations

All required repairs must be completed within 30 working days of the audit inspection date to maintain compliance.

Site Visit and Initial Assessment

A qualified Storepro inspector arrives on-site ready to examine every component of your racking system. They check uprights for impact damage and misalignment. Beams get tested for deflection and overloading. Safety locks, floor anchoring and seismic bracing all receive thorough inspection. Load signage accuracy gets verified against actual storage practices.

When inspectors spot immediate risks, they flag them straight away. No waiting for reports while dangers lurk overhead. Critical issues get isolated immediately, with clear “Do Not Use” tags preventing access until repairs complete. Your team knows exactly which bays need attention before the inspector leaves site.

The initial assessment captures photographic evidence of every issue found. Measurements confirm beam deflection levels. Load calculations verify safe working limits. This detailed documentation forms the foundation of your comprehensive audit report and repair quotation.

Comprehensive Audit Reports

Storepro audit reports follow AS/NZS 4084:2023, SEMA guidelines and NZ Seismic Building Codes to ensure complete compliance. Every issue gets photographed, described and categorised by severity. You receive clear guidance on what needs fixing now versus what can wait.

The damage grading system makes prioritisation simple. “Immediate Action Required” items need urgent repair to prevent injury or collapse. “Monitor” classifications indicate developing issues requiring regular checks. “Minor Maintenance” tags highlight cosmetic damage or wear that doesn’t compromise safety yet.

Each recommendation includes practical solutions, not just problems. Damaged uprights might need complete replacement or simple rotation. Overloaded bays require new load signage or beam upgrades. Missing safety components get specified with part numbers for easy ordering. Your report becomes an actionable maintenance plan.

Documentation meets all WorkSafe and insurance audit requirements. Producer statements confirm compliance with building codes. Inspection certificates validate safety standards. This paperwork protects your business when authorities or insurers request compliance evidence.

Providing Preventative Measures

Storepro repair teams arrive equipped to handle everything from minor adjustments to major structural replacements. Damaged uprights get swapped with pre-galvanised steel components that resist future corrosion. Bent beams receive immediate replacement with properly rated alternatives. Missing safety locks, damaged anchoring and inadequate seismic bracing all get corrected to current standards.

When repairs can’t happen immediately, temporary propping stabilises unsafe sections. These engineered supports maintain warehouse operations while permanent solutions get organised. No need to shut entire aisles when problems arise – just isolate the risk and keep working safely around it.

Preventative maintenance goes beyond fixing current problems. Storepro establishes scheduled re-inspection programmes that catch issues early. Worker reporting processes help identify damage between formal inspections. Regular maintenance schedules address wear before it becomes dangerous. Impact protection installations prevent future forklift damage. It’s about stopping problems, not just solving them.
