Pallet Racking Inspection Edinburgh

From life sciences and biotech distribution to specialty food and craft brewing, the operations found in Edinburgh rely on racking that is inspected, not assumed to be safe. Our SARI accredited inspectors cover the whole city with SEMA-aligned inspections and clear written reports.

Edinburgh's Storage and Distribution Network

Key employment and industrial locations in Edinburgh include Newbridge Industrial Estate, South Gyle Industrial Estate, Pentland Industrial Estate and Bilston Glen Industrial Estate. With the A720, M8 J1, M9, A1 and A90 running through the area, our inspectors can reach sites across the city efficiently.

Racking Risks Typical of Edinburgh's Industries

Racking here typically supports life sciences and biotech distribution, high-value electronics manufacturing and specialty food and craft brewing.

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.
Raw material, component and work-in-progress storage is prone to overloading and to beams being moved without the load rating being rechecked — both are recorded if found.
Regulated and high-value stock usually comes with audit requirements, and a dated, signed inspection report is often the document auditors ask to see.

Your Legal Duty in Edinburgh

For Edinburgh 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.
