RACK INSPECTION

Spacekraft carry out racking and shelving safety inspections which is recommended under Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) departments.

Why are racking inspections important?

While minor damage to your racking may seem unimportant. Knocks, bangs and scrapes from fork trucks and pump trucks, when combined with any overloading of your racking, can have a damaging cumulative effect. Over time, these incidents can reduce the structural integrity and load bearing capacity of your racking – leading to racking failures.

Not only could this result in expensive damage to stock and loss of productivity, but it endangers employees, leaving you open to EHS litigation.

In much the same way as you would regularly service your car, periodic racking inspections will highlight small areas of damage, which can usually be repaired in situ with minimal disruption, long before they become a larger and more costly problem.

Rack safety is a very important part of warehouse safety .The aim of the racking inspection is to identify any damage to the installation, to report the remedial works required, and providing an estimate to carry out any necessary repair work. Spacekraft solutions can often do repairs within a matter of days if the materials required are in stock.
