SEMA-Compliant Pallet Racking Installation: Minimising Disruption, Maximising Safety

Our Racking Installation Process

For over 30 years, Pallet Racking Systems Ltd. has specialised in installing new and used pallet racking systems to the highest industry standards. Our process is designed from the ground up to ensure your project is completed on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption to your daily operations, ensuring your new system is safe and ready for use from day one.

We follow a proven, five-step process to ensure a seamless experience and a fully compliant outcome.

Step 1: Complimentary On-Site Survey

Our service begins with a free, no-obligation on-site survey. One of our experienced project managers will visit your site to understand your space, inventory, and operational workflow. We assess everything from floor quality to access points to ensure our proposed solution is perfectly tailored to your needs.

Step 2: Advanced Design and Dedicated Project Management

Once we have the results of your site survey, our design team creates detailed CAD drawings to map out the optimal layout for your space. From that moment, a dedicated Project Manager becomes your single point of contact. They will:

• Coordinate all deliveries of materials and equipment.
• Manage the installation team and project timeline.
• Liaise with your on-site staff to ensure clear communication.
• Oversee all health and safety documentation, ensuring a fully compliant and transparent process from start to finish.

Step 3: Our Commitment to a Safe and Compliant Installation

As a warehouse manager, your primary responsibility is the safety of your team and the compliance of your equipment. We share that commitment. Our installation process is governed by the strictest safety protocols to meet and exceed your legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act and PUWER 1998.

• Expert & Qualified Teams: Our installation teams are highly experienced and trained in the latest SEMA codes of practice, ensuring every component is assembled correctly and safely.
• Site-Specific Risk Assessments: Before any work begins, we conduct thorough risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) tailored to your live operational environment.
• Minimal Operational Disruption: We work closely with your team to schedule installations at times that cause the least disruption, including out-of-hours and weekend work, to keep your business moving.

Step 4: Installing Second-Hand Racking with First-Class Confidence

Choosing high-quality used pallet racking is a smart financial decision. We ensure it’s also a safe one. Unlike other installers, our expertise is rooted in the full lifecycle of racking. Every used component we supply for an installation project has been:

• Rigorously Inspected: Checked by our experienced team for structural integrity, signs of stress, and any damage.
• Certified for Use: Verified to meet SEMA standards, ensuring it is safe and fit for purpose.
• Guaranteed Compatible: We ensure all components are from the same manufacturer and are 100% compatible, a critical safety requirement.

This means you get the cost-effectiveness of a used system, installed with the same precision, safety, and compliance guarantees as a brand-new one.

Step 5: Final Handover and Day-One Compliance

An installation is not complete until it is ready for safe operation. As part of our final handover, we ensure:

• Load Notices are Correctly Installed: We supply and fit clear, accurate Safe Working Load (SWL) notices, a legal requirement for all racking systems.
• Final Safety Checks: We conduct a final walkthrough to ensure all components, including beam locks and floor fixings, are secure.
• Documentation Provided: We provide you with all the necessary documentation for your health and safety records, confirming the installation has been completed to SEMA standards.

This ensures your new racking system is not only physically installed but is also fully compliant and ready for your team to use safely from the moment we leave the site.
