Pallet Racking Inspection Chester

Rackstor Safety Inspections covers Chester for annual SEMA-aligned pallet racking inspections. The city's storage is shaped by aerospace structural manufacturing and the automotive engineering supply chain, and our inspection reports are written to be used by the people running those sites day to day.

Where We Inspect in Chester

Much of Chester's racking sits within Sealand Road Industrial Estate, Chester West Employment Park and Broughton Industrial Estate. These are linked by the A55, A483, M53 J12 and A51, which also carry our inspectors to sites elsewhere in the city.

Racking Risks Typical of Chester's Industries

The sectors we see most in Chester: aerospace structural manufacturing; the automotive engineering supply chain.

• 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.

Your Legal Duty in Chester

For Chester 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.
