Stourbridge's Storage and Distribution Network
Stourbridge's racking is found across Lye Industrial Estate, Stourbridge Trading Estate and The Hayes Trading Estate. Our inspectors plan visits around these locations and cover the surrounding parts of West Midlands too. Repairs we flag in Stourbridge are described clearly enough for your racking supplier to quote from the report directly.
What We Focus On in Stourbridge
Every Stourbridge 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.
