Pallet Racking Inspection Dereham
Dereham hosts trailer manufacturing timber processing and regional trade depots requiring structural safety compliance. If your business in Dereham uses pallet racking, we can inspect it to the SEMA Code of Practice and leave you with a clear, prioritised list of any repairs.
Dereham's Storage and Distribution Network
If you are based at Raxworth Industrial Estate, Greens Road Industrial Zone and Dereham Business Park or anywhere else in Dereham, the inspection can be booked around your shift patterns. You will not be left guessing after we inspect in Dereham: every finding is located, photographed and explained in plain language.
What We Focus On in Dereham
Racking in Dereham is inspected bay by bay; these are the areas that usually need the most care.
- 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.
- Bracing members are inspected for bends and loose bolts, which weaken a frame long before damage looks serious.
Your Legal Duty in Dereham
For Dereham 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. The same rules apply whether your Dereham site is a single unit or a large distribution building.
