Regular inspections professionally carried out

Racking UK’s Planned Maintenance Programme is a step by step method of checking and identifying damage to racking and shelving storage systems. The programme combines our expert services with the direct involvement of the client’s staff. The user’s involvement is essential to the safe management of any workplace storage system for it is they who are in the position to see and assess damage as it occurs on a daily basis. Being aware of this, the Planned Maintenance Programme creates the structure for the client to regularly assess and take appropriate action should any damage occur.

Racking UK implements a staged approach to damage surveillance.

Load Notices

It is now compulsory for all SEMA members registered under the SEMA – ISO 9002 sector scheme to supply such notices on newequipment they install.

Preliminary Assessment

To begin we arrange an introductory site visit to evaluate the storage equipment,which includes taking into consideration the everyday operational procedures, meeting relevant personnel and reviewing routine working conditions. Following the preliminary assessment we will then go on to prepare your unique Planned Maintenance Programme.

Site Survey

A multi stage survey is undertaken which includes a walk round inspection from ground level to record storage system layouts and create CAD drawings. The storage equipment is then inspected for structural damage. The next stage is to meet the client’s designated person(s) and, where necessary, advise of any urgent corrective action. The client’s management team is then instructed on the use of inspection procedures and reporting methods, so that management can implement their own on-going surveillance of the storage system/s. Any damage noted during the management’s regular inspections must be recorded and any significant damage reported directly to Racking UK without delay.

Rack Safety Report

The results of the survey are presented to the client in a straightforward written report, with recommendations of any remedial actions together with a CAD drawing of the equipment at the time of the inspection.

Remedial Action

Once the Rack Safety Report is complete a separate, detailed specification and quote for necessary repairs and/or remedial action will be offered for your consideration.

Update

After a 6 month interval we will arrange a further site visit to check on progress, update files and arrange your next Planned Maintenance Programme survey based on an annually renewable contract.

Costs

Because every factory, warehouse or workplace is different and has varying amounts and types of storage equipment, each maintenance programme is unique. Pricing is therefore on case by case basis. Following our preliminary assessment a detailed Planned Maintenance Programme and fixed cost will be provided for your consideration.
