Pallet Racking Inspection Birmingham

Pallet racking in Birmingham carries the stock of businesses working in automotive component manufacturing, metal casting and forging, central FMCG warehousing and rail freight distribution. Rackstor Safety Inspections provides SEMA-aligned racking inspections across the city, carried out by SARI accredited inspectors and reported in writing so you can show your racking is being managed.

Industrial Areas and Transport Links in Birmingham

Much of Birmingham's racking sits within Gravelly Industrial Park, Midpoint Park, Advanced Manufacturing Hub, Peddimore Birmingham and Tyseley Energy Park. These are linked by the M6 J5–J6, M42 J5–J6, A38(M) and A45, which also carry our inspectors to sites elsewhere in the city.

Inspection Priorities for Birmingham Sites

Typical Birmingham customers work in automotive component manufacturing, metal casting and forging, central FMCG warehousing and rail freight distribution.

• Busy pick faces and fast pallet turnover put the front uprights of every run at risk from truck strikes; we measure each dent and bow against the tolerance rather than estimating it.
• Manufacturing and engineering stores often hold heavy, awkward or non-standard loads, so we check that load notices match the configuration actually installed.

Your Legal Duty in Birmingham

For Birmingham businesses, the legal position is the same as anywhere in the UK: PUWER 1998 places the duty on the employer, HSG76 sets the expectation of an annual expert inspection, and BS EN 15635 defines the damage tolerances used to classify each defect.

See our SEMA racking inspection checklist for the measured tolerances, or read what the HSE expects.
