Pallet Racking Inspection Wellingborough
Wellingborough features extensive industrial areas dedicated to automotive parts and logistics requiring SEMA safety audits. Rackstor Safety Inspections carries out SEMA-aligned pallet racking inspections in Wellingborough and across Northamptonshire in the East Midlands, with every defect measured, classified red, amber or green, and written up in a report you can act on.
Racking Sites Across Wellingborough
Industrial and storage activity in Wellingborough includes Park Farm Industrial Estate, Finedon Road Industrial Estate and Stanton Cross. We inspect racking on these sites and at any other business premises in the area. Load notices, beam locks and floor fixings are all checked during a Wellingborough inspection, not just visible impact damage.
What We Focus On in Wellingborough
The kind of storage found in Wellingborough shapes where the inspection looks hardest.
- 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.
- Beam connectors and safety locks are checked bay by bay, since a single missing lock can let a beam lift out.

Your Legal Duty in Wellingborough
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 Wellingborough 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. Any red-risk findings at a Wellingborough site are flagged before we leave, so the affected bays can be offloaded straight away.
