Rack Survey & Repair

     US Mezzanines has in house and nationally recognized experts that conduct safety audits on a regular basis. These audits are done for warehouse equipment such as fork-lift trucks, battery chargers and changers, etc. as well as structural racking audits. The results of these audits can help in determining whether or not investment in new mechanical or structural equipment is needed, identify abuse and quantify remaining life. Structural audits can also be done to investigate the effects of rack re-profiling, damage and code changes.
