Pallet Racking Inspection Newark-on-Trent
Newark supports agricultural engineering distribution and heavy manufacturing businesses requiring regular structural safety checks. Across Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands, Newark-on-Trent included, our job is to tell you plainly what condition your racking is in and what to fix first.
Where We Inspect in Newark-on-Trent
Businesses at Brunel Business Park, Industrial Park Northern Road and Newark Industrial Estate are part of our Newark-on-Trent coverage, as are occupiers of individual units elsewhere in the town. Each Newark-on-Trent 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 Newark-on-Trent's Industries
Every Newark-on-Trent 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.
- 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.
- Load notices are compared with the beam levels actually installed, because levels moved since installation change the safe working load.

Your Legal Duty in Newark-on-Trent
An annual expert inspection is how Newark-on-Trent sites show they are meeting PUWER 1998 and HSE guidance HSG76. We measure damage against the BS EN 15635 tolerances and classify each finding green, amber or red in line with the SEMA Code of Practice. Between expert visits, a trained Person Responsible for Racking Safety should carry out regular checks at your Newark-on-Trent site.
