Pallet Racking Inspection Andover
Andover hosts major retail distribution logistics alongside defense technology firms requiring strict SEMA inspection regimes. Across Hampshire in the South East, Andover included, our job is to tell you plainly what condition your racking is in and what to fix first.
Where We Inspect in Andover

Inspection Priorities for Andover Sites
The kind of storage found in Andover shapes where the inspection looks hardest.
- 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.
- Column guards and run-end barriers are inspected, and gaps in protection are recorded alongside the damage they allow.
Your Legal Duty in Andover
PUWER 1998 requires racking to be maintained in a safe condition and inspected by a competent person, and HSE guidance HSG76 recommends an expert inspection at least every 12 months. Our Andover reports follow BS EN 15635 and the SEMA Code of Practice, so the record stands up if the HSE or your insurer asks for it. Between expert visits, a trained Person Responsible for Racking Safety should carry out regular checks at your Andover site.
