Stakapal, a leading UK manufacturer of industrial racking and storage systems, offers a seamless racking service that ensures businesses receive bespoke, safe, and efficient storage solutions tailored to their needs.
From initial site assessment to ongoing maintenance, every stage is managed by Stakapal’s in-house experts, guaranteeing quality, compliance, and customer satisfaction. Below, we explore each component of this end-to-end service.
In-House SARI Inspection Team
The journey begins with a comprehensive site survey conducted by Stakapal’s experienced in-house inspection team who have undergone and succeeded in their SARI qualification. This critical first step involves a detailed assessment of the customer’s warehouse or storage facility to understand spatial constraints, operational requirements, and specific storage needs.
The team evaluates factors such as floor space, ceiling height, load types, and workflow patterns to ensure the proposed racking system maximises efficiency and safety. By performing the survey in-house, Stakapal ensures accuracy and a deep understanding of the customer’s unique challenges, laying the foundation for a bespoke storage solution.
Racking Design
Following the site survey, Stakapal’s in-house design engineers create CAD drawings that provide a visual representation of the proposed racking system. These detailed designs are customised to optimise storage capacity while adhering to the customer’s operational needs and site specifications. Alongside the drawings, Stakapal takes structural calculations to confirm the racking system’s load-bearing capacity and stability, ensuring compliance with industry standards such as SEMA.
A thorough risk assessment is also included, identifying potential hazards and outlining mitigation measures to ensure a safe working environment.
These documents are submitted, awaiting the customer’s approval, fostering transparency and collaboration.
Method Statements
To ensure a smooth and safe installation process, Stakapal provides method statements that outline the procedures, equipment, and safety protocols to be followed during the installation.
In-House SEIRS Installation
The installation phase is carried out by Stakapal’s in-house SEIRS-registered installation team, ensuring professionalism and expertise. SEIRS (Storage Equipment Installers Registration Scheme) accreditation guarantees that the team is trained to install racking systems to the highest safety and quality standards.
Using Stakapal’s own installers, rather than subcontractors, ensures consistency, accountability, and adherence to the approved design and method statements. The team works efficiently to minimise disruption to the customer’s operations, delivering a fully functional racking system ready for immediate use.
Load Labels Included!
Once the racking system is successfully installed, Stakapal fits load labels to the racking structure. These labels specify the maximum load capacities for each section of the racking, ensuring safe operation and compliance with SEMA guidelines and HSE regulations. The labels serve as a critical reference for warehouse staff, helping to prevent overloading and maintain the longevity and safety of the system.
Annual Inspections
To ensure ongoing safety and performance, Stakapal offers annual racking inspections conducted by our SARI-qualified (SEMA Approved Racking Inspector) in-house inspectors. These inspections assess the condition of the racking system, checking for signs of damage, wear, or non-compliance with safety standards.
A detailed report is provided, outlining any recommended repairs or adjustments to maintain the system’s integrity.
Regular inspections help customers meet legal obligations under HSE guidelines and ensure a safe working environment for staff.
