Yes, in New Zealand, pallet racks should be securely bolted to the floor to comply with the New Zealand standards for pallet racking safety. This is an essential safety measure that helps ensure that the pallet racking system is stable, secure, and can withstand the forces that may be exerted on it during normal use or in the event of an earthquake. M12 x 100 screw bolts are recommended by engineers to comply with consent. These bolts are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between the pallet racking system and the floor, helping to prevent accidents, damage, or collapse of the system. It is important to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and the New Zealand safety standards to ensure that the pallet racking system is properly installed and securely bolted to the floor. Additionally, regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure the ongoing safety and reliability of the pallet racking system.

Due to New Zealand's susceptibility to earthquakes, all pallet racking systems installed in the country must have a building consent from the local council. This means that anyone planning to install a pallet racking system must obtain the necessary consent, which involves submitting several reports, including a structural engineer report and a fire report. In some cases, the local council may also require additional reports such as an emergency lighting report or an engineer peer review. Fortunately, Platinum Storage Solutions has a team of professionals with extensive experience in pallet racking installation and compliance with local regulations. Their team can assist clients with obtaining all the required reports and navigating the consent application process. With Platinum Storage Solutions' help, clients can have peace of mind knowing that their pallet racking system is installed correctly and meets all the necessary safety standards.

Pallet racking weight capacities can vary depending on several factors such as the manufacturer, size, and design of the rack. It is important to note that the weight capacity of a standard pallet rack beam is typically around 1000kg, although this may vary depending on the specific rack design and specifications. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the weight capacity of a pallet rack before storing heavy items to ensure the safety and stability of the rack and prevent any potential accidents or damage to the stored products.
