Line Marking & Warehouse Floor Guidance

Warehouse line marking is more than fresh paint — it’s a practical system for organising movement, reducing incidents, and keeping your site compliant. At Emrack, we deliver industrial-grade line marking designed around real warehouse behaviour: forklifts turning, pedestrians crossing, pallets staging, dispatch lanes moving, and operations changing over time.

Whether you’re refreshing faded markings, moving into a new facility, reconfiguring racking, or tightening up WHS zones, our team helps you plan and apply a layout that makes your space clearer, safer, and easier to run — with minimal disruption.

Why Warehouse Line Marking Matters

Many sites underestimate how quickly faded or unclear markings create avoidable issues, including:

Higher safety risk

Poorly defined walkways, crossings and exclusion zones increase near-misses and incidents.

Slower workflow

Unclear staging, pick lanes and traffic direction causes hesitation, congestion and double-handling.

Space that isn’t working

Without defined zones, floor space gets “borrowed” and layouts gradually become inefficient.

Compliance headaches

Missing or unclear safety zones and hazard markings can put WHS compliance at risk.

Why Choose Emrack for Line Marking?

Emrack brings a practical, operations-first approach — because we understand how warehouses actually move.

Layout-led planning

We mark to suit your workflow, traffic routes, and racking layout — not a generic template.

Durable, industrial-grade finish

Solutions selected for high-traffic environments, forklifts, and heavy use.

End-to-end support

Pair line marking with consultation, racking changes, safety audits and maintenance when needed.

Minimal disruption

Planned staging to keep operations moving wherever possible.

What’s Included in Our Line Marking Service?

Our line marking service covers planning through to application and sign-off, ensuring markings are clear, consistent, and fit for purpose.

Site Review & Space Assessment

We start by understanding how your space is used today — and what needs to improve. This includes:

Reviewing current layout, traffic flow and pinch points
‍We look for areas where forklifts and pedestrians compete for the same space or where tight turns cause bottlenecks.

Identifying safety risks and high-traffic areas
‍We look for blind spots and areas where pedestrians might inadvertently step into a vehicle's path.

Measuring zones, clearances and operational requirements
‍We take exact measurements of aisle widths to ensure they meet fire codes and equipment manufacturer specs (e.g., forklift turning radiuses).

Aligning markings to racking footprints, aisles and access needs
‍We ensure that floor markings aren't just arbitrary lines; they are aligned perfectly with your racking uprights and pallet positions.

Marking Plan & Zone Design

Before anything goes on the floor, we map the logic. This includes:

Forklift lanes, turning zones and direction guidance
We map out dedicated vehicle lanes to separate heavy machinery from inventory and people.

Pedestrian walkways, crossings and exclusion zones
We design "safe harbors" for staff on foot.

Staging bays, dispatch lanes and quarantine areas
To prevent clutter from creeping into traffic lanes, we define exact boundaries for goods in transition.

Colour / zone consistency so teams instantly understand the floor
We apply a standardized color palette across the entire site.

Paint, Tape & Specialty Markings

We apply the right solution for the environment, surface and traffic levels. This includes:

High-visibility floor marking (paint and/or tape solutions)
We select the medium based on your operational needs.

Hazard markings, keep-clear zones and warning chevrons
We use standardized patterns to signal immediate danger or restricted access.

Numbering, bay IDs, labels and directional arrows
Beyond simple lines, we apply stenciled alphanumeric IDs to every pallet bay and staging lane.

Optional anti-slip / enhanced visibility options where required
In zones prone to moisture (like loading docks) or incline (ramps), we apply anti-slip coatings containing grit to prevent slips and tire skids.

Safety & Compliance Alignment

We help ensure markings support WHS outcomes and site standards.This includes:

Clear segregation of pedestrians and MHE routes
We create a physical and visual barrier between people and machines (like forklifts or reach trucks).

Defined emergency access / egress guidance
We map out the most direct, unobstructed paths to safety.

Consistent hazard and restricted area definition
We apply a unified "visual vocabulary" across your entire facility.

A finish that remains readable and enforceable on the floor
For a safety program to be enforceable, the markings must be clearly visible under all lighting conditions and resistant to "tire scrub" or chemical cleaning.

Refresh, Re-Mark & Ongoing Improvements

Layouts change — and markings should keep up.This includes:

Re-marking faded or damaged areas
We identify high-wear zones—like tight turn radiuses and loading dock plates—and perform targeted re-marking.

Updating zones after racking changes or relocations
We grind back or black out obsolete markings and layout new logic that aligns perfectly with your new racking footprints.

Staged upgrades to support operational growth
As your volume increases, you might need to convert a general storage area into a high-speed dispatch lane.

Ongoing maintenance recommendations for longevity
We provide a tailored maintenance "playbook" for your specific floor type.
