ROUTINE INSPECTION / MAINTENANCE 
It is recommended that the end user refer to Section 9 - “Operation and Maintenance of 
Adjustable Pallet Racking” of AS4084:1993 (Steel Storage Racking)
 for racking inspection and 
maintenance procedure.  As a supplement to the code recommendation, the following information 
has been compiled based on AS4084:1993 and the FEM recommendation. FEM (Federation 
Europeene de la Manutention
) is a European industrial body made up from various national 
organisations representing the storage equipment manufactures in their own country. 
 
The “Deepstor” system requires no maintenance, other than to repair possible damage through 
incorrect operation. The system should be regularly inspected. 
 
Under NO circumstances should any attempt be made to alter the rack structure. 
 
 
‘RACK SAFETY OFFICER’ / ‘REPORTING PROCEDURE’ 
It is recommended that a ‘Rack Safety Officer’ is appointed and a procedure put in place so that 
any damage or unsafe occurrence can be reported, thus ensuring that any necessary actions can 
be taken to maintain a safe working environment. 
 
The safety officer would undertake routine inspection, keeping maintenance and safety reports.

‘Guidelines for the Safe Use of Static Racking’
