REMEMBER IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Stakapal offers Racking Inspections for cantilever racking or pallet racking that was manufactured, supplied and installed by ourselves.
We offer a full-service racking inspection that meets the HSE’s current document HSG76 Health and Safety Guidelines. This is part of our ongoing support and aftercare services that we offer to all customers after installation.
There are two types of reports available to our customers during an inspection. Expert SARI Report and our Premium SARI Report both meet the requirements needed for your inspection, however, the premium offers more insight and detailed drawings, depending on which you prefer.
