Pallet Racking Repairs & Maintenance

Racking damage often starts small.

A bent upright here. A twisted beam there. Maybe a safety clip pops out and no one notices.

Left unresolved, damaged racking can:

• Increase the risk of collapse
• Put employees at risk
• Damage stock
• Invalidate insurance
• Breach HSE and PUWER responsibilities

It is a bit like driving with a cracked wheel rim. The vehicle still moves. But you know something is wrong. And the longer it continues, the worse the consequences can be. Prompt repairs remove that risk and keep your warehouse safe.

Over the years we have repaired just about every type of racking damage you can imagine.

Typical issues include:

1. Bent or twisted uprights
2. Damaged beams
3. Impacted bracing
4. Dislodged safety clips
5. Column and frame damage
6. Cantilever arm damage
7. Drive-in racking lane damage

If you are unsure whether your racking is safe or repairable, send us photos or your latest inspection report. We will review it and advise you.

We assess racking damage using SEMA guidance. The Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association sets the safety standards used across the UK storage industry. Damage is typically classified into three categories:

Green Risk

Minor damage that should be monitored but does not require immediate action.

Amber Risk

Damage that requires repair within a defined timeframe to prevent escalation.

Red Risk

Serious structural damage requiring immediate offloading and repair before reuse.

Our team will assess the severity of damage and provide clear, compliant recommendations aligned with SEMA best practice

In many cases, full rack replacement is not necessary.

We specialise in:

• Upright section replacement (splicing)
• Beam replacement
• Component swaps
• Targeted structural repairs

These repairs restore the integrity of the system without replacing entire rack runs.

If replacement components are required, we source genuine parts for major manufacturers including Link51, Apex, RediRack and others.

In addition to reactive repairs, we provide pallet racking maintenance services to help prevent damage and ensure long-term system safety.

Our maintenance support includes:

• Follow up work from rack inspections
• Tightening and securing components
• Upright protection upgrades
• Safety improvements across rack runs
• Ongoing compliance support

If you’ve recently had a rack inspection, simply send us the report and we will provide a repair and maintenance quotation.

We also provide specialist cantilever racking repairs and maintenance, including:

• Arm replacement
• Column repairs
• Base damage rectification
• Structural reinforcement

All work is carried out in accordance with manufacturer specifications and current safety standards.

If your racking has been classified as red risk, action needs to happen quickly. Leaving damaged bays in service puts people and stock in danger.

We offer:

• Rapid damage assessments
• Flexible repair scheduling
• Experienced on site installation teams
• Post-repair safety checks

The goal is simple. Restore the system safely so your warehouse can keep running.
