Racking Relocation UK — Everything You Need to Know Before You Move

By Rackstor UK Ltd

Moving warehouse is one of the most disruptive events in the life of any business. The answer to what to do with your existing pallet racking, in most cases, is to relocate it.

Introduction

Moving warehouse is one of the most disruptive events in the life of any business. The answer to what to do with your existing pallet racking, in most cases, is to relocate it.

What Is Racking Relocation?

Racking relocation is the process of dismantling existing pallet racking at one location, transporting it to a new location and reinstalling it to SEMA standards. The result is a pallet racking installation at your new premises at a fraction of the cost of buying new.

When Does Racking Relocation Make Sense?

Racking relocation makes financial sense in almost every case where the racking is less than fifteen years old and in reasonable condition. The cost of relocation is typically 40-60% of the cost of equivalent new racking.

The Racking Relocation Process

Pre-relocation survey — engineer visits your existing site, surveys the racking installation and designs the optimal layout for the new site. Fixed-price quotation.

Dismantling — systematic dismantling and labelling of all components.

Transport — all components transported in our own vehicles by our own teams, no subcontractors.

Reinstallation to SEMA standards.

PUWER certificate on handover — every relocation is handed over with a written PUWER 1998 compliance certificate.

How Much Does Racking Relocation Cost?

Typically 40-60% of the cost of equivalent new racking. For a free pre-relocation survey and fixed-price quotation call 0800 654 6955 or visit rackrelocation.co.uk.
