Kingston upon Thames's Storage and Distribution Network

From Chessington Industrial Estate to Red Lion Business Park, we inspect pallet racking at sites throughout Kingston upon Thames. Load notices, beam locks and floor fixings are all checked during a Kingston upon Thames inspection, not just visible impact damage.

What We Focus On in Kingston upon Thames

Some risks are common to the operations described above, so our Kingston upon Thames inspectors look closely at them.

• 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.
• 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.
• Column guards and run-end barriers are inspected, and gaps in protection are recorded alongside the damage they allow.

Your Legal Duty in Kingston upon Thames

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