Racking Sites Across Congleton
Businesses at Eaton Bank Trading Estate, Greenfield Industrial Estate and Buglawton are part of our Congleton coverage, as are occupiers of individual units elsewhere in the town. Load notices, beam locks and floor fixings are all checked during a Congleton inspection, not just visible impact damage.
What We Focus On in Congleton
Racking in Congleton is inspected bay by bay; these are the areas that usually need the most care.
- 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.
- 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.
- Load notices are compared with the beam levels actually installed, because levels moved since installation change the safe working load.

Your Legal Duty in Congleton
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 Congleton 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. Keeping the annual report on file is the simplest way for a Congleton business to show the racking is being managed.
