Pallet Racking Inspection Coatbridge
Coatbridge specializes in steel distribution food processing and freight services requiring continuous SEMA audits. If your business in Coatbridge uses pallet racking, we can inspect it to the SEMA Code of Practice and leave you with a clear, prioritised list of any repairs.
Racking Sites Across Coatbridge
Industrial and storage activity in Coatbridge includes Caldervale High Tech Park, Greenhill Industrial Estate and Albion Industrial Estate. We inspect racking on these sites and at any other business premises in the area. Repairs we flag in Coatbridge are described clearly enough for your racking supplier to quote from the report directly.
Inspection Priorities for Coatbridge Sites
Some risks are common to the operations described above, so our Coatbridge inspectors look closely at them.
- High-throughput logistics means constant forklift traffic, so impact damage to uprights, bent beams and missing beam locks are the findings we look for first.
- 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.
- Any alterations made since the last inspection are checked against the original configuration.

Your Legal Duty in Coatbridge
For Coatbridge 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. Between expert visits, a trained Person Responsible for Racking Safety should carry out regular checks at your Coatbridge site.
See our SEMA racking inspection checklist for the measured tolerances, or read what the HSE expects.
