What type of racking inspection do I need?
This depends on whether you need a regular (usually weekly) inspection or an expert (annual) inspection.
Annual expert inspections are usually carried out by third party companies. There is currently no legislation that tells you the type of inspection you need.
Some insurance companies will ask you to have a specific inspection carried out annually. This is likely to be compliant with either SEMA or PUWER guidelines.
If your insurance company does not specify, then the choice is yours to make.
Each inspection we offer ensures your racking is compliant with current legislation.

Clearly the most organised contractor I have worked with ref comms and the RAMS coming early.
The ‘full racking service’ provided by Rack Group is world class, and takes away the worry of health and safety issues, as well as delivering fantastic commercial results both from replacement of equipment, and the introduction into all of our site of the new racking protection system Rack Armour®, designed by Rack Group which has proven to reduce damage by 80%.
You’ve made such an effort and in a nice non sales way, I wanted to work with you.
The combination of regular safety inspections to pallet racking, and the reduced cost of spare parts, time saving maintenance skills, and the partnership between Asda – Walmart and Rack Group, are proving to be a winning combination on the never ending battle of repair costs.
