Racking Inspections
Nene Warehouse Solutions provides warehouse racking inspections to identify damage, assess safety risks and recommend remedial action. Receive a detailed inspection report to help you prioritise repairs and manage the ongoing condition of your storage systems.
What Is A Racking Inspection?
A racking inspection assesses the condition of warehouse storage systems, identifying damage, deterioration and issues that could affect safe use.
The inspection should reflect the type of racking installed, how it is used and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Findings help you understand where action is needed and support the ongoing management of racking safety.
Why Racking Inspections Are Important?
Damage and missing components can affect the safe use of warehouse racking. Regular inspections help identify these issues so they can be assessed and addressed.
Inspections form part of a wider approach to warehouse safety, alongside routine visual checks, prompt damage reporting and appropriate maintenance. Keeping inspection records also helps you track findings and follow up on outstanding work.
Where equipment safety depends on installation conditions, an inspection should take place after installation and before first use.

What Our Racking Inspections Cover?
Our inspectors check for damaged or distorted components, missing parts, signs of overloading and other issues affecting racking condition and safety.
We work with your appointed Person Responsible for Racking Safety (PRRS) to understand site concerns and areas with a history of damage. You receive a detailed report recording the findings and recommended remedial action.
The components illustrated below are examples relevant to pallet racking. The checks required depend on the system being inspected.

Digital Racking Inspection Reports & Compliance Tracking
At Nene Warehouse Solutions, we use Econform’s racking inspection software to record findings and provide detailed digital reports. This gives you a clear record of identified issues and recommended remedial work, helping you understand where attention is needed.
By linking findings to specific racking locations, the reports help your team organise follow-up work and keep track of outstanding actions. They also provide a reference for reviewing previous findings during future inspections.
From the initial assessment through to recording completed repairs, digital reporting brings inspection information together to support the ongoing management of your warehouse racking.
Manufacturer and Location Information
Inspection findings can be recorded against the relevant racking manufacturer and location, making it easier to identify the affected components and where work is required. This gives your team a clearer reference when reviewing the report and arranging remedial work.
Instant Bill of Materials
Where replacement components are needed, a bill of materials identifies the parts required to address the inspection findings. This supports quotations and repair planning, helping your team understand what needs to be sourced before work can proceed.
Sign-off on Completed Repairs.
Completed repairs can be recorded against the relevant racking locations, helping you distinguish outstanding actions from work already addressed. Keeping these updates alongside the inspection findings provides a clearer record for ongoing maintenance and future inspections.
