What Is ANSI MH16.1?

✅A global standard for safe pallet racking design and engineering.
✅Defines load capacities, material quality, and structural stability requirements.
✅Rarely followed in India, where many warehouses still use non-certified racking.

Why It Matters for Indian Warehouses:-

✅Prevents racking failures caused by overloading, poor installation, or forklift impact.
✅Ensures racks can withstand Indian warehouse conditions like uneven floors, high loads, and frequent handling.
✅Improves warehouse safety, reduces downtime, and minimizes product damage.

Key Requirements Under ANSI MH16.1:-

✅Mandatory load calculation and engineering design before installation.
✅Use of certified components with clear load signage on each racking bay.
✅Regular inspections to check for bends, corrosion, misalignment, and impact damage.
