Warehouse Pallet Racking Inspections
Since 1984, D&R Racking has been supplying, installing and inspecting high-quality pallet racking, and we’re proud to have developed a high level of expertise in that time. With our warehouse pallet racking inspections, we apply decades of experience to keeping your racking safe and compliant.
Your inspector will conduct their review of your facilities in accordance with warehouse racking safety standards and HSE racking compliance, including HSG76. They’ll thoroughly assess your pallet racking for potential faults and any signs of damage.
At the end of the process, you’ll be issued with a Full Rack Inspection Report that uses a traffic light system to categorise any faults or hazards by risk level. This way, you know which issues need to be addressed most urgently.
