Pallet Racking Inspection Hinckley

Hinckley hosts large parcel distribution centers and automotive logistics facilities demanding periodic safety audits. Whether you run one aisle or a full distribution building in Hinckley, our inspection measures the damage against BS EN 15635 tolerances and records it clearly.

Hinckley's Storage and Distribution Network

Industrial and storage activity in Hinckley includes Dodwells Bridge Industrial Estate, LOGIK 63 and Harrowbrook Industrial Estate. 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 Hinckley inspection, not just visible impact damage.

Racking Risks Typical of Hinckley's Industries

The kind of storage found in Hinckley shapes where the inspection looks hardest.

• 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.
• Manufacturing and engineering stores often hold heavy, awkward or non-standard loads, so we check that load notices match the configuration actually installed.
• Pallet condition and placement are noted where overhanging or damaged pallets put extra strain on beams.

Your Legal Duty in Hinckley

For Hinckley 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. If your insurer or a customer asks for proof of inspection, the Hinckley report is the document to show them.
