FAQs
Racking Emergency Questions
What should I do if my pallet racking has been hit?
Stop using the affected bays immediately, keep staff and forklifts away, isolate and cordon off the area, do not attempt to unload the racking, and call RR24 Ltd on 0800 2461526 for an emergency inspection and make-safe.
How dangerous is damaged pallet racking?
Very. Damaged uprights, beams or bracing can dramatically reduce a rack's load capacity and lead to sudden collapse, risking serious injury, stock loss and prolonged downtime. Damaged racking should be treated as an immediate safety hazard.
Who repairs pallet racking?
RR24 Ltd are specialist emergency pallet racking repair engineers operating nationwide across the UK, 24 hours a day. We only work on warehouse racking systems.
How quickly can you attend an emergency?
We mobilise as fast as possible, 24/7, nationwide. Call 0800 2461526 and we will dispatch engineers to make your racking safe.
Do you cover the whole UK?
Yes. We provide emergency response across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland with no region excluded.
Are you available 24 hours a day?
Yes — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, including weekends and bank holidays.
What happens during an emergency call-out?
Our engineers assess the damage, make the racking safe, advise on load reduction or isolation, and carry out temporary stabilisation or permanent repairs as required, with full documentation.
Can damaged racking be repaired or must it be replaced?
It depends on the type and severity of damage. Minor impact damage can often be repaired, while badly damaged uprights or beams may need replacement. Our engineers will advise the safest, most cost-effective solution.
What is a damaged upright?
An upright is the vertical frame member of a racking system. Impact damage to uprights is one of the most common and dangerous forms of racking damage as it directly affects load-bearing capacity.
Do you replace racking beams?
Yes. We replace damaged or deformed beams and reinstate safe load capacity as part of our emergency and planned repair services.
What is SEMA guidance?
SEMA (the Storage Equipment Manufacturers' Association) publishes widely recognised guidance on the inspection and safe use of storage equipment. We provide SEMA-aligned inspection guidance for educational purposes; RR24 Ltd is an independent company.
What is a red, amber, green racking risk rating?
It is a traffic-light system used in racking inspections. Green means acceptable, amber means damage requiring action within four weeks, and red means immediate off-load and isolation. Red-risk damage should be treated as an emergency.
How much do emergency racking repairs cost?
Costs depend on the extent of damage, components required and site access. Call 0800 2461526 for guidance — we prioritise making your site safe first.
Will you provide a report for my insurer?
Yes. We provide clear documentation and reports suitable for insurance and health & safety records.
What causes most racking damage?
The most common cause is forklift impact, followed by overloading, incorrect beam placement, missing components and general wear over time.
Can you carry out temporary repairs?
Yes. Where appropriate we carry out temporary stabilisation and make-safe works to secure the area before completing permanent repairs.
How often should racking be inspected?
Best practice is a documented visual inspection at least weekly by a trained person, plus an expert inspection at least annually. Any impact damage should trigger an immediate inspection.
Do you carry out racking inspections?
Yes. We provide emergency and routine racking inspections with clear reporting and risk ratings.
What industries do you work with?
Warehousing, logistics, retail and food distribution, manufacturing, automotive, cold storage, pharmaceutical, e-commerce, 3PL and general industrial storage operators.
Do I need to close my warehouse after an impact?
You must isolate and stop using the affected bays. Whether wider closure is needed depends on the damage — our engineers will advise on-site.
