Racking Risks Typical of Portsmouth's Industries

Racking here typically supports naval defence and shipbuilding, cross-channel ferry logistics, advanced composite materials and electronics.

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.
Heavy parts and irregular stock put strain on beams, so we check deflection against the Span/200 limit and confirm pallets are sitting correctly on the beam line.
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.
