Stakapal - A SEMA-Compliant Racking Supplier
When you buy racking for your warehouse, yard or retail floor, you are not just buying racking, you are buying safety, compliance and peace of mind. Choosing a SEMA-compliant racking supplier and whose teams are SARI-qualified and SEIRS-registered significantly reduces risk, improves insurance standing and helps ensure legal compliance.
We at Stakapal are a SEMA-compliant Supplier and are fortunate to conduct everything in-house, this means we have our own SARIs ready to conduct racking inspections on our racking systems and registered SEIRS installers, ready to install our racking in your warehouse and yard.
What Being a SEMA-Compliant Racking Supplier Actually Means
SEMA Full Member: The Approved Manufacturer
Being a Full Member of The Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (SEMA) provides a highly recognised industry benchmark for safety as it acknowledges that Stakapal is able to provide guidance and best practice for racking design, installation and inspection.
SARI:
The Qualified Inspector
A SEMA Approved Rack Inspector (SARI) is trained to identify damage, rate risk using the traffic light method (red risk, amber risk, and green risk) and give technically robust recommendations for remedial work. Using SARI reports shows you had competent inspections carried out by an approved standard.
SEIRS:
Competent Installers
SEIRS (Storage Equipment Installers Registration Scheme) registration signals recognised installer competence and helps demonstrate that installations meet accepted tolerances and practices, important for warranty, safety and insurance.
Three practical reasons working with a SEMA-compliant racking supplier matters
- Protect the staff and inventory: Damaged or incorrectly installed racking causes accidents and loss. SARI inspections identify issues before they escalate.
- Reduce liability & insurance headaches: Insurers and auditors expect evidence of competent inspections and correct installation. SEMA/SARI/SEIRS credentials make that paperwork straightforward.
- Operational continuity: Proactive SARI reporting and qualified installation reduce unplanned downtime caused by unsafe racks.
What to ask a prospective supplier
When reaching out to racking suppliers, it is for your own benefit and peace of mind to ask for the certifications and credentials the supplier has been awarded. Questions to ask whether a racking supplier is SEMA-compliant or not can sometimes be the following:
- Are you a SEMA Full member?
- Are your inspectors SARI-qualified and your installers SEIRS-registered? If so, can we see their SARI/SEIRS cards?
- Have your installers and inspectors been on a refresher course?
By asking these questions as well as conducting your own research on the company, you ensure safety and compliance for your business.
