How often do you insect your racks for damages? Did you know that a damaged frame can weaken your rack configuration by up to 40%? This inevitably puts the lives of your workforce in danger, and to a further extent it will have severe impact on the productivity and flow of orders to your customers in the case of an accident, not to mention the time-consuming claims and involvement of insurance companies etc.

Spima has now launched the rack inspection service, available to all its customers. The rack inspection service puts a stop to this danger, by enabling companies to have peace of mind that their installations have been assessed for safety, and have implement the suggested repairs by an authorised body. With over 20 years experience in the field of pallet racking and hundreds of installations nationwide, rest assured that we will carry out a rigorous inspection always in acordance to EN 15635 "Application and maintenance of storage equipment".

The rack inspection programme consists of three simple packages:

  • 1 inspection for 50 EUR + VAT (case by case basis)
  • 6 inspections for 250 EUR + VAT
  • 12 inspections for 375 EUR + VAT

There are no time limits on the inspections; you can use them whenever you wish although we recommend a regular and equal interval for maximum safety. The process for the inspection on our side is as follows:

  1. We will visit and carry out a thorough check on all beams & frames. If any damage exists, we will mark it with a coloured label, amber or red. Red will mean that the affected area must be unloaded immediately and a replacement component should be scheduled asap. Amber will mean that the component is acceptable and should remain in the close observation of the appointed internal safety officer to avoid further deterioration. Loading and unloading should be carried out with caution.
  2. The red components will be changed at our next scheduled on-site visit, and their suitability marked with a green sticker by our installation crew.
  3. A formal certificate shall be issued in a secure PDF format by us, and should be printed and displayed in a visible area by your safety officer. The certificate shall clearly signify the initial inspection date, and a resolution date that the replacement took place.

Furthermore, you will be able to get a feedback of your inspections or work progress on your personal extranet within our website (you will be given login details).

All packages should be pre-paid either by cheque or online by PayPal.

Sign up for either package and contact us to arrange an inspection / repair. Be pro-active today to save the pain of unfortunate future accidents. In the instance where the racking was not installed by Spima, it is the client's responsibility to either supply the required parts, or indeed have their supplier change them. It is your responsibility to call us when you believe that there is a component which is suspect. The golden rule is that "if in doubt, ask!".
