Shared facility details are prefilled from My Warehouse Project. Every result is saved automatically when you calculate.

Methodology

How this calculator works

Combines visual observations into a triage score to help prioritize isolation and professional inspection.

Priority score = weighted upright + beam + anchor + out-of-plumb observation ratings.

Use the result

Turn the number into a decision

If damage appears significant, unload and isolate the area according to your safety process and obtain a qualified rack inspection. The score is not an engineering determination.

Use this result to prepare warehouse, safety, and facility teams for a qualified inspection or review; it does not replace an engineering or compliance decision.

Run at least three scenarios—conservative, expected, and upside—so one optimistic assumption does not drive the project.
