Pallet Racking Inspection Southampton

Rackstor Safety Inspections covers Southampton for annual SEMA-aligned pallet racking inspections. The city's storage is shaped by deep-sea container shipping and the cruise terminal, petrochemicals, automotive export and import and marine transport, and our inspection reports are written to be used by the people running those sites day to day.

Racking Sites Across Southampton

Storage activity in Southampton is concentrated around DP World Container Port Zone, Mountpark Southampton, Millbrook Industrial Estate and Hedge End Trade Park, served by the M3 J13–J14, M27 J3, J5, J7, J8, A36 and A34. We regularly plan inspection visits around these locations.

What We Focus On in Southampton

Typical Southampton customers work in deep-sea container shipping and the cruise terminal, petrochemicals, automotive export and import and marine transport.

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.

Your Legal Duty in Southampton

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 Southampton 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.

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