Pallet Racking Inspection Salford

Salford's warehouses and industrial units support inland port logistics, container freight handling, consumer goods distribution and food manufacturing — and every one of them that uses pallet racking needs a documented expert inspection. We carry out SEMA-aligned racking inspections throughout Salford, with every finding classified and recorded.

Salford's Storage and Distribution Network

Storage activity in Salford is concentrated around Port Salford, Wardley Industrial Estate and Oakhill Trading Estate, served by the M60 J12–J13, M602 J1–J2 and A580. We regularly plan inspection visits around these locations.

Inspection Priorities for Salford Sites

Typical Salford customers work in inland port logistics, container freight handling, consumer goods distribution and food manufacturing.

• In high-volume operations the lower levels and aisle-end frames take most of the knocks, so we check frame protectors, column guards and beam connectors at every run end.
• 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.

Your Legal Duty in Salford

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 Salford.

See our SEMA racking inspection checklist for the measured tolerances, or read what the HSE expects.
