There’s a lot of choice when it comes to pallet racking. There are countless pallet racking brands out there and it’s made all over the world. Because of this though, there are also big differences in the quality of pallet racking available, what the pallet racking is rated for, and the general type of pallet racking.
It’s no surprise that we here at Colby Dandenong always recommend Colby pallet racking, but it’s just because we’re a Colby distributor. It’s because we stand by Colby as the top pallet racking manufacturer in the business. But really, why do we think this and what sets Colby apart from other pallet racking manufactuers?
Let’s explore.
Colby Pallet Racking Is Certified Australian Made
One of the most important aspects of Colby pallet racking is that it’s certified Australian made. Getting certified as Australian made is difficult, but it’s worth it. What the Australian made certification means that a product is substantially transformed in Australia.
For Colby, this means that Australian steel is used to create the pallet racking within Australia. By buying Colby pallet racking, our customers are supporting Australian businesses, Australian workers, and the Australian economy.
Going beyond this, we here at Colby Dandenong are, of course, Australian owned. Beyond just supplying top quality pallet racking, we also offer pallet racking installation and certification, employing even more Australians through our business.
Colby Pallet Racking Uses Traceable Steel By BlueScope
The steel used in Colby pallet racking is made by BlueScope steel, an Australian steel company committed to making the highest quality steel possible. With this in mind, all the steel made by BlueScope, and therefore all the steel used in Colby pallet racking, is completely traceable.
What this means is that the quality of the steel is guaranteed and, in the unlikely event there’s a manufacturing fault with the steel, it’s easy to trace back what batches may have been affected and rectify the problem.
This isn’t always possible with foreign made steel. Basically, when foreign made steel is used for pallet racking (or any other product for that matter), you don’t always know what you’re going to get. If there’s a problem with the steel, a warranty issue, or a defect, customers may not be notified by the manufacturer. And they may have no recourse if they need a problem rectified.
When you’re dealing with an Australian company using Australian materials, you know you can rely on Australian laws to fix things if something goes wrong. This also applies to regular pallet racking inspections.
Colby Pallet Racking Is High Quality
All of this means that Colby pallet racking is of very high quality. And it’s a known quality too.
Again, since Colby is an Australian company, it adheres to all Australian laws and regulations surrounding quality and the promises it makes in terms of quality. If a customer feels that Colby has misrepresented its product or its quality, Australian consumer law can help.
Going further than this, as mentioned, the steel used in Colby pallet racking is traceable. This, again, helps guarantee quality.
Colby Pallet Racking Adheres To All Australian Standards
All Colby pallet racking meets or exceeds Australian standards, particularly AS 4084:2023. Colby knows and understands Australian standards, so customers can be sure that the racking they buy from Colby conforms to it. This way they’re not surprised by something that says it adheres to the standards, only to find out it doesn’t once it’s purchased and installed.
One part of the standards that surprises people is the need for pallet racking to be rated for seismic activity. This sometimes isn’t the case for other pallet racking, and customers don’t know this until they’ve already bought the racking.
Using a pallet racking supplier that knows the Australian regulations ensures you won’t get caught out.
