DRS Racking Solutions Urges Sydney Warehouse Operators to Audit Racking Systems as AS4084:2023 Compliance Deadline Pressure Grows
Australia, 13th Jul 2026 – DRS Racking Solutions, a Sydney-based supplier and installer of industrial pallet racking, cantilever, and longspan shelving systems, is calling on NSW warehouse and logistics operators to review their storage systems against AS4084:2023, the Australian Standard governing the design, installation, and inspection of steel storage racking.
Compliance with AS4084 is mandatory for any commercial warehouse operating in NSW. Non-compliant racking can result in SafeWork NSW penalties, failed workplace safety audits, and complications with insurance claims in the event of an incident. With racking damage (from forklift impact, overloading, or incompatible component mixing) among the most common causes of warehouse safety failures, DRS is highlighting the need for regular, formal inspections rather than one-off installation checks.
“Racking compliance isn’t something businesses can set and forget,” said a DRS Racking Solutions spokesperson. “Standards evolve, warehouse layouts change, and racking gets modified or added to over time. A system that was compliant on installation day can quietly fall out of compliance years later, often without anyone realising until an audit or, worse, an incident forces the issue.”
DRS Racking Solutions offers formal compliance audits for existing racking installations across Sydney and greater NSW, alongside new and used pallet racking supply, cantilever and longspan systems, and full installation, relocation, and reconfiguration services — all completed to AS4084 standards. The company also operates a racking buy-back service, allowing businesses to responsibly offload decommissioned or surplus racking rather than sending it to landfill.
With warehouse and fulfilment activity continuing to expand across Sydney to meet e-commerce and logistics demand, DRS says the volume of ageing, modified, or improperly reconfigured racking systems in the field is rising, increasing the risk profile for operators who haven’t had a system reviewed recently.
Businesses are encouraged to arrange a compliance audit before their next workplace safety inspection, rather than after a failed one.
DRS Racking Solutions offers free on-site consultations across Sydney and NSW, assessing warehouse space, ceiling height, and storage needs, with written quotes covering supply, delivery, and installation.
