Pallet Racking Inspection Harlow
Harlow is a long-established industrial center with pharmaceutical printing and distribution hubs requiring routine SEMA racking inspections. Rackstor's inspectors are SARI accredited, and in Harlow we report on uprights, beams, bracing, baseplates, locks and load notices as a matter of course.
Racking Sites Across Harlow
Industrial and storage activity in Harlow includes Pinnacles Industrial Estate, Templefields and Harlow Business Park. We inspect racking on these sites and at any other business premises in the area. Load notices, beam locks and floor fixings are all checked during a Harlow inspection, not just visible impact damage.
Inspection Priorities for Harlow Sites
Every Harlow inspection covers the whole installation, with particular attention to the following.
- 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.
- Sensitive and high-value products make any racking failure costly, so our report gives a prioritised repair list the site can act on straight away.
- Beam connectors and safety locks are checked bay by bay, since a single missing lock can let a beam lift out.
Your Legal Duty in Harlow
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 Harlow 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. Between expert visits, a trained Person Responsible for Racking Safety should carry out regular checks at your Harlow site.
