Pallet Racking Inspection Hyde
Hyde features a dense mix of logistics hubs and light industrial units along the M67 corridor requiring periodic racking safety checks. Rackstor's inspectors are SARI accredited, and in Hyde we report on uprights, beams, bracing, baseplates, locks and load notices as a matter of course.
Hyde's Storage and Distribution Network
Locations we cover in Hyde include Tameside Park, Newton Business Park and Bridge Point. Wherever your racking is installed, the inspection follows the same SEMA-aligned method. Each Hyde report sets out a prioritised repair list, so you can deal with red risks first and plan amber repairs within the recommended timescale.
Racking Risks Typical of Hyde's Industries
On a typical Hyde visit, these are the issues we expect to examine in detail.
- 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.
- Bracing members are inspected for bends and loose bolts, which weaken a frame long before damage looks serious.
Your Legal Duty in Hyde
Racking counts as work equipment under PUWER 1998. HSE guidance HSG76 and BS EN 15635 expect weekly in-house checks by a Person Responsible for Racking Safety plus at least an annual expert inspection — the part our SARI accredited inspectors deliver in Hyde. Our Hyde report gives you the evidence that this duty is being met.
