A pallet racking collapse can not only be a very scary and disruptive incident, but it can also cause hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of damage to stock. This could bring your business to a standstill for an indefinite amount of time, or in even worse events could seriously injure your staff. Our racking inspectors are well versed with latest pallet rack safety regulations and carry out proper pallet racking safety inspections by keeping all factors in mind.
The good news is, pallet rack collapses are easy to prevent, and usually only happen when pallet rack inspection services are not regularly performed or the system used is of a low standard. A pallet rack collapse can also occur if it is not maintained properly or if it is improperly installed.

Neglecting pallet rack safety inspections can lead to severe consequences. Pallet racking collapses are a genuine risk to a person’s life and presents multiple risks to the business itself. Some of the most common risks include;
- Injury – Pallet racking collapses have caused countless staff injuries in the past and have resulted in death on some occasions. This is not an area businesses can afford to be lax in.
- Stock Destruction – In the event of a rack collapse stock will almost certainly be damaged, if not destroyed completely, which could be devastating to a business both logistically and financially.
