Racking Damage Surveys & Safety Assessments in Greater Manchester


Does your industrial racking need checking?

Every day, the warehouse racking in your Greater Manchester business faces load stresses, bumps and bangs from forklifts, and the constant grind of loading and unloading. Over time, this wear and tear – together with the occasional larger incident – can weaken your industrial storage solution and increase the risk of collapse.

In the UK, the collapse of warehouse racking has already cost lives.

The HSE requires that your industrial racking should be checked regularly. Every week, a responsible person within your business should give your industrial pallet racking a visual check. And once every 12 months (at minimum), your industrial storage equipment must be inspected by a “technically competent person”.

Rack-Master Storage Systems carries out fully compliant Racking Damage Surveys in Greater Manchester that help you meet your annual racking safety inspection requirements.


What’s the cost of a Racking Damage Survey and how long does it take?

A Racking Damage Survey is £250.00 per day + VAT and £150.00 + VAT for the written report which includes a full site layout plan (see below).

As most of our pallet racking damage surveys in Greater Manchester take no more than one day to complete, most businesses pay no more than our basic fee. If your Greater Manchester warehouse racking installation is particularly large or heavily damaged your survey may take a little longer.


What does each Racking Damage Survey include?

Each Racking Damage Survey includes:

  • A full on-site visual inspection of your warehouse racking installation, with damage (and its location) identified on inspection sheets.
  • A written report for your Health & Safety file (so you comply with HSE guidelines and current legislation).
  • A competitive quote for any repairs your industrial racking requires.

    We are keen to maintain the integrity of our Racking Damage Surveys in Greater Manchester. Therefore, whilst we will provide you with a quote to repair damage, we will present the report in a way that enables you to check the damaged locations for yourself and obtain quotes from competitors.
