Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI): It’s "R-Mark" Insures Quality

RMI logo

Warehouse Rack & Shelf LLC’s teardrop pallet rack is manufactured to RMI (Rack Manufacturers Institute) specifications. Our wire decking is now being tested and certified by RMI. In my opinion all reputable pallet rack and wire decking manufacturers should be members of RMI. My advice to you is, when you buy pallet rack and wire decking, be sure to look for the “R-Mark” R-Mark which indicates quality.
