Inspection Priorities for Aldershot Sites
Some risks are common to the operations described above, so our Aldershot inspectors look closely at them.
- In high-volume operations the lower levels and aisle-end frames take most of the knocks, so we check frame protectors, column guards and beam connectors at every run end.
- Heavy parts and irregular stock put strain on beams, so we check deflection against the Span/200 limit and confirm pallets are sitting correctly on the beam line.
- Beam connectors and safety locks are checked bay by bay, since a single missing lock can let a beam lift out.
