Frequently Asked Questions
Is WeDrill insured for warehouse racking removal work?
Yes. WeDrill holds comprehensive public liability insurance and our team operates in full compliance with Australian OHS regulations. You can have complete confidence that your site and property are protected throughout the project.
Do you have a minimum job size for pallet racking removal?
No. WeDrill handles jobs of all sizes from a single bay of racking in a small storage room to a full clearance of a 10,000m² distribution centre. That said, all jobs are quoted individually based on actual site conditions, so a very small job may have a minimum call-out cost. Contact us with your details and we'll give you an honest, no-obligation quote regardless of job size.
Can you work after hours or on weekends to avoid disrupting my business?
Yes. WeDrill offers flexible scheduling including after-hours and weekend availability to minimise disruption to your warehouse operations. Just let us know your preferred timeframe when you request your quote.
How long does pallet racking removal take?
Project duration depends on several factors — mainly the number of bays, racking type, floor plan complexity, and site access. As a general guide: 1–10 bays typically completed in a single day; 10–30 bays usually 1–2 days; 30–80 bays generally 2–4 days; 80+ bays or complex sites assessed and scheduled individually. WeDrill provides a realistic timeline during the free site assessment — not an optimistic estimate that blows out mid-project. If you're working to a lease exit deadline or landlord handback date, tell us upfront and we'll build the schedule around it.
Can you relocate pallet racking to a different suburb or another city?
Yes. WeDrill regularly handles pallet racking relocations across all Melbourne suburbs and surrounding Victoria. For interstate relocations to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, or other capital cities, we manage the dismantling and loading at the Melbourne end and can coordinate transport logistics. Contact us with both site locations and we'll build a quote that covers the full move from start to finish.
What happens to the old racking once it's removed?
It depends on the condition of the racking and what you want to do with it: Relocation - all components are sorted, labelled, transported, and reinstalled at the new site; Resale - if your racking is in good condition and you'd like to sell it, we can advise on options for used racking buyers in Melbourne; Recycling - steel racking components are sorted and taken to recycling facilities, keeping material out of landfill; Disposal - damaged or end-of-life racking is disposed of responsibly, basic disposal is included in WeDrill's standard removal quote. If you have a preference for what happens to your pallet racking after removal, just let us know during the assessment and we'll accommodate it.
