Dmytro and Lenokers went above and beyond my expectations. We were looking to liquidate a good amount of pallet racking from our warehouse and between our first contact and our warehouse being cleared of our racking, barely a week had passed! They were kind, courteous, and more than professional for the entire experience. I would not hesitate working with them again!
Lenokers did a great job for us. Professional and timely. I recommend there services.
Dmytro was great to work with
All went smoothly
Will definitely be calling again

We had to move some inventory around very quickly to make room for a new customer and we ran out of rack space. I called Lenokers and they had exactly what we needed. Within 3 hours we had our racking and we're back to getting organized!
Thanks guys!
It was a pleasure working with Dmytro and his team to improve our warehouse! Timely communications and service.
How much does a pallet rack inspection cost?
It depends on how many bays you have, how tall the racking is and where the warehouse is. Tell us the address and roughly how many bays, and we’ll send a free quote before anything is booked.
How often should racking be inspected?
Common practice is a quick visual check by your own staff every week, a full inspection by a trained inspector at least once a year, and an extra inspection after any forklift impact or earthquake. Busy, high-traffic warehouses often inspect more often.
Does OSHA require rack inspections?
OSHA has no rule written only for racking, but it expects storage to be stable and secure and hazards to be fixed, and damaged racking can be cited under its general requirements. Since 2023 it has run a national emphasis program on warehouses. A recent written inspection is the clearest way to show your racking is looked after.
Do we have to empty the racks or stop work?
No. The inspection is visual and done with the racks loaded. We work aisle by aisle around your forklifts.
What does the report include?
Every finding located by aisle, bay and level, a photo of the damage, a red, amber or green rating, and the action to take. It’s written so your team, your insurer or a contractor can act on it.
What happens if you find damage?
Red items should be unloaded and kept out of use until they’re repaired, and the report shows exactly which ones. We can then quote the pallet rack repair, and you choose who does the work.
Should racking be inspected after an earthquake?
Yes. RMI recommends an inspection after any seismic event, even when nothing fell: frames can lean, base plates can bend and anchors can loosen without it being obvious from the aisle.
How much weight can my racking hold?
The safe load comes from the racking’s design and is shown on its load signs. We check the signs are posted and that what’s stored matches them. If signs are missing, the report flags it so the capacity can be confirmed.
Tell us where your racking is and roughly how many bays. We take it from there.

Lenokers provides pallet rack inspection as part of our pallet racking services, for warehouses across Oregon, Washington, California and beyond, from our base in Portland. Racking rarely fails without warning: a bent upright, a beam lifted out of its connector, a base plate with a missing anchor. A rack inspection finds that damage before it becomes a collapse, and tells you which bays can stay loaded and which can’t.
Uprights: dents, bends and twists, most often in the bottom few feet where forklifts hit.
Beams: sag under load, bent or dented steel, and damaged connectors.
Connectors and safety locks: fully seated, not cracked, with a lock in every connector.
Bracing: bent, cut or missing braces and cracked welds.
Base plates and anchors: flat, anchored and tight, with no cracked concrete around them.
Loads and clearances: load signs posted and respected, frames plumb, flue spaces clear.
A sound routine has three layers: a quick visual walk by your own team every week, a full inspection by a trained inspector at least once a year, and an extra inspection after any forklift impact, reconfiguration, move or earthquake. For the weekly walk, download our free pallet rack inspection checklist (PDF).
OSHA has no standard written only for pallet racking. It applies its general requirements instead: storage must be stable and secure (29 CFR 1910.176(b)), and recognized hazards must be fixed under the General Duty Clause. Since July 2023, OSHA’s National Emphasis Program on warehousing has put storage and material handling under closer watch. The practical answer is a dated, written inspection with the actions taken, measured against ANSI MH16.1, the RMI standard for steel storage racks. Permits and the wider OSHA racking regulations are covered on our permitting and code compliance page.
Red: unload the bay now and keep it empty until it’s repaired.
Amber: fix soon, and add no extra load in the meantime.
Green: within limits. Keep watching it at your weekly checks.
The report gives you a fix list in order. Damaged uprights, beams and connectors are a job for pallet rack repair; missing or loose anchors for pallet rack anchoring. Either way, you know what to fix first and what can wait.
