Quality

To ensure consistent safety, durability, and performance, Aceracking’s Quality Control (QC) program encompasses the following key procedures:

1. Standards Compliance Testing

   • AS 4084-2012 Certification: Every rack frame and beam undergoes structural testing in accredited Australian laboratories to verify conformity with Australian Standard AS 4084-2012 (Steel Storage Racking). Load tests simulate maximum rated capacities (including proof loading at 125% of nominal load) and check for any permanent deformation.

   • Locking System Validation: The coffin-shaped locking clips (compatible with Alpha Racking, Dexion Keylock, and Superlock) are tested for repeated engagement and disengagement cycles, ensuring secure beam-to-upright connections under dynamic forklift impacts.

2. Material and Coating Inspection

   • Raw Material Verification: Incoming Q235B steel plates and profiles are sampled for chemical composition and mechanical properties. Mill test certificates are checked to confirm yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation values meet design requirements.

   • Hot-Dip Galvanizing Quality: Frames are fully immersed in molten zinc, achieving a uniform coating thickness of 60–80 μm. Post-galvanizing, a non-destructive gauge measures coating thickness at multiple points, ensuring corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

3. Local Manufacturing Oversight

   • In-House Fabrication Audits: All fabrication stages are performed in Aceracking’s Australian facility, allowing real-time inspection of welding, punching, and assembly processes. Welders are qualified under AS/NZS 1554.1 procedures, and each weld undergoes visual inspection for uniformity, absence of cracks, and proper penetration.

   • Dimensional Accuracy Checks: Upright frames are checked for squareness, plumbness, and hole-pitch tolerance (±1 mm). Beams are measured for flange width, profile consistency, and straightness (maximum allowable deflection: L/200 under load).

4. Assembly and Pre-Shipment Inspection

   • Component Fit Verification: Before packaging, sample assemblies (uprights with beams and locking clips) are erected to confirm proper fit, ease of locking-clip engagement, and absence of play between uprights and beams.

   • Accessory Quality Control: Wire mesh decking, pallet stops, column protectors, and mezzanine guardrails are inspected for weld integrity, edge finishing, and galvanizing coverage. Any protective edges or weld points are ground smooth to prevent injury during installation.

5. Warranty and After-Sales Assurance

   • Parts Traceability: Each component is labeled with batch numbers and manufacturing dates. QC records, including test reports and certificate copies, are stored to facilitate future warranty claims.

   • 3-Year Parts Warranty: Aceracking guarantees replacement of any defective rack components installed by Better Racking Solutions, provided that annual inspections confirm correct usage and load limits.

   • 12-Month Labor Warranty: Installation quality is verified on site. Any labor-related issues (such as incorrect beam placement or torque deficiencies on anchor bolts) discovered within 12 months of installation are rectified free of charge by our certified technicians.

By combining rigorous standards testing, in-house production oversight, and robust post-installation support, Aceracking’s Quality Control program ensures that each selective pallet rack system delivers maximum reliability, safety, and longevity in warehouse, supermarket, and distribution center environments.
