Warehouse Rack Capacity Labels: Types, Uses, and Requirements
Overloaded racks don't always look overloaded. Without a posted capacity label, a forklift operator has no reliable way to know when a bay is at its limit.
When a rack failure happens, one of the first questions inspectors ask is simple: Were load capacities posted and accurate? If not, liability often shifts directly to the facility.
