Warehouse racking systems carry substantial loads and should be correctly installed, maintained and used according to their intended configuration and loading capacity. Our team can inspect your existing racking system and assist with the technical information required for assessment and certification.
A Professional Engineer (PE) is a registered engineer who is professionally qualified under Singapore's Professional Engineers Board (PEB) framework. PEs are registered in engineering branches including civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.
If your landlord, consultant, customer or project requirements call for PE certification for your racking system, we can assist with the process.
Depending on the installation and certification requirements, the assessment may consider the rack's configuration, loading capacity, structural components, anchoring, stability and existing condition.
Where PE certification is included in the agreed scope, the relevant information will be submitted to the appointed Professional Engineer for assessment. Certification remains subject to the Professional Engineer's assessment and acceptance of the installation and supporting information.
PE involvement may be required or requested for certain warehouse and industrial racking projects, particularly where the installation involves structural considerations or specific building and authority requirements.
Not every standalone storage rack automatically requires the same form of PE certification. Requirements should be assessed according to the specific project and installation.
For certain industrial developments, URA also advises that the necessary clearances should be obtained from relevant agencies, including BCA for structural safety and SCDF for fire safety, where applicable.
Already have racks installed?
We can assist with the inspection and assessment of existing warehouse racking systems, including racks installed by another supplier.
The availability of original drawings, rack specifications and loading information can help with the assessment. If information is unavailable, send us photographs and the approximate rack dimensions first. Our team can advise what additional information may be required.
Provide photographs, rack dimensions, loading requirements, layout drawings and any existing documentation available.
A site inspection can be arranged to assess the actual racking installation and condition.
The rack configuration, components, loading requirements and available technical information are reviewed.
If damaged, missing or unsuitable components are identified, rectification may be required before certification. As a racking specialist, Aracking & Shelving Solutions Pte Ltd can also carry out the necessary racking repair or modification works.
Where PE certification is required and included in the scope, the relevant information is provided to the appointed Professional Engineer for assessment.

Yes, used storage racks are suitable for long-term warehouse use when they are structurally sound and correctly installed. The importance of buying from a reputable supplier cannot be overstated: racks that have been inspected, tested, and confirmed as fit for purpose will perform reliably over time. Aracking carries out regular quality checks on all used racks in stock to ensure they remain safe and operational. With proper installation, correct load management, and routine inspection, used warehouse racking in Singapore can deliver the same results as new systems at a fraction of the cost.
In most cases, yes. Used warehouse racking systems are modular by design, which means bays can be adjusted, reconfigured, or extended to suit different warehouse layouts. Beam heights can be raised or lowered to accommodate different goods, and additional bays can be added where compatible components are available. Note that mixing components from different brands or pitches may not always be feasible; beam and upright compatibility depends on the system type and pitch. Aracking can advise on what modifications are achievable with the specific racks used and available in their current stock.
Key considerations include the condition and load rating of the used racks, compatibility with your existing warehouse infrastructure and forklift equipment, and whether the seller has carried out quality checks. Note that the MOM WSH Act compliance still applies to second-hand installations; used racks must meet the same structural and load-bearing requirements as new systems. Also consider the availability of matching components for future expansion and delivery lead time. Buying from a local supplier like Aracking means used storage racks for sale in Singapore are ready in stock, with minimal waiting time.
Compatibility depends on the brand, pitch, and system type of both the used racks and your existing installation. Common pitch standards, 50mm, 60mm, and 76.2mm, determine whether beams and uprights from different sources can be safely combined. Mixing incompatible components is a safety risk and a WSH compliance issue. Aracking stocks used racks from well-known brands, including Interack, SSI, Mystar, and Eon-metal, and can also custom-order matching beams from their Malaysian factory. Always confirm compatibility with a specialist before purchasing used warehouse racking in Singapore for add-on purposes.
Yes, provided the used racks are rated to the required load capacity and are in good structural condition. Load capacity is determined by the upright frame gauge, beam span, and system design, not whether the rack is new or second-hand. The importance of verifying load ratings on used storage racks for sale in Singapore is critical: never assume capacity without confirmation. Aracking’s used rack inventory includes heavy-duty systems capable of supporting standard pallet loads of 1000kg or 2000kg per level. Each rack is inspected before sale, and load ratings are confirmed so you can store goods safely and in compliance with WSH requirements.
