What are the most common problems found during a warehouse rack inspection? With OSHA increasing their presence in facilities, it’s important to stay proactive with your inspections, and the problems that can lead to catastrophic failures can be hidden in plain sight We asked our Warehouse Specialists about the five most common problems they come across during their inspections, and here’s what they said: 1. Damage to uprights and beams: Damaged uprights or beams directly affects the structural integrity of your rack, compromising their load-carrying capacity. 2. Missing safety clips on beams: Without a safety clip, the forklift could dislodge the beam above, and that level could come down 3. Missing wire deck over walkways: If the operator didn't set a pallet on properly, and a rack system is hit by a forklift with no wire deck underneath, that palette becomes dislodged and collapses, putting employees walking underneath at serious risk injury or death. 4. Missing or damaged anchors: If a forklift operator bumps into a rack with a missing anchor, it could create a domino effect with nearby racks. 5. Improperly sized rack members: You may be a lead molding company using racks originally intended for storing Styrofoam cups and utensils with a 2,000 lbs. capacity, when you need a minimum 6,000 lbs. Capacity. Read the full article to learn more ⬇️ https://hubs.li/Q02MmHlS0
When should you avoid using a turnbuckle? Although they’re excellent tools for taking up slack in a rigging assembly, they may not always be the safest tool for the job. Here are some applications where you should not use a turnbuckle or take extra precautions when using them: • Permanent rigging applications in heavy vibration environments • Avoid using turnbuckles in areas that are not easily visible • Do not use turnbuckles for applications that are not in-line straight pulls • Do not use turnbuckles where there is not enough slack to fully engage the turnbuckle end-fittings’ threads • Do not use turnbuckles with hook-end fittings for long-term or critical applications Additionally, ASME B30.26 Rigging Hardware 2.9.4.1 states: • Turnbuckles should be rigged or secured to prevent unscrewing during lifting or load handling activities. (i) For long-term installations, turnbuckles shall be secured to prevent unscrewing. • (f) The load applied to the turnbuckle should be in line and in tension. (g) Turnbuckles should not be side loaded. • Turnbuckle end fitting threads shall be fully engaged in the body threads. NOTE: Pipe bodies conceal the length of thread engagement. Verify full engagement before loading.

How many legs can be used in one master link for a sling assembly? As many as needed! But when determining the number of legs that should be safely used in a multi-leg sling assembly, the following questions should be considered: • What is the application and how will the sling assembly be used? •Has the sling been manufactured by a competent and qualified person? • Has its application and use been analyzed and approved by a competent and qualified person? • How do the legs sit in the master link? Slings gathered in the master link should not exceed 120 degrees in angle unless approved by a qualified person per ASME B30.26 Rigging Hardware. Furthermore, please keep in mind ASME B30.9 Slings 1.10.1 standards. Need more information on rigging best practices?
