Racking Relocation Dorset — Dismantle, Move & Reinstall
Dorset's more compact industrial estates around Poole and Ferndown make racking relocation a smart option when moving premises rather than replacing everything new.
Relocation vs Replacement in Dorset
Before you price a new installation, price the move. For most Dorset operators, dismantling, transporting and rebuilding sound existing racking works out materially cheaper than replacement, avoids new-build lead times, and keeps perfectly serviceable steel out of the scrap stream.
How We Move Racking in Dorset
A Dorset relocation begins with a free site survey and a fixed-price quotation. From there our crews destock, isolate services, dismantle beams before frames, label and bundle every component, load onto our own transport, and rebuild the system to SEMA standards at the new premises — handing over drawings, load notices and a PUWER certificate.
No Agency Crews on Your Dorset Project
The installers on your Dorset site are our own employees, trained to SEMA standards and IPAF/PASMA certified. The scissor lifts, forklifts and trucks are ours as well. That means predictable quality, no hire-fleet delays and a single organisation responsible from survey to sign-off.
Your Dorset Handover Pack
We finish Dorset projects with paperwork, not just steel: a PUWER 1998 completion certificate, as-built reinstall drawing, load notices fitted to every run, and a post-installation inspection record. It's the evidence pack your insurer will ask for if anything ever goes wrong.
SEMA-Aligned Setting Out and Sign-Off
Every Dorset reinstallation is set out from a drawing and built to SEMA standards, with new floor fixings, verified frame plumb, fully engaged beams and correctly fitted safety pins. Damaged uprights identified during the survey are replaced rather than reused.

Dorset FAQs
How quickly can you get to a Dorset site?
Surveys are often available the same day you call, and for urgent relocation or make-safe works we can mobilise a crew to Dorset at short notice.
What will it cost to move our racking in Dorset?
Price depends on bay count, height, access and haulage distance, so we survey first and then quote a fixed figure. For most Dorset sites the relocation cost is well below the price of an equivalent new installation.
What racking types can you relocate in Dorset?
Adjustable pallet racking, narrow aisle, drive-in, cantilever, longspan and shelving, in all the common UK brands — Dexion, Link 51, Redirack, Stow, Mecalux, Apex and HiLo among them.
Will the moved racking still satisfy our insurer?
That's the point of the handover pack. Dorset relocations are rebuilt to SEMA standards and signed off with a written PUWER completion certificate, load notices and inspection records.
Do you use hired plant in Dorset?
No — the scissor lifts, forklifts and MEWPs on your Dorset site are ours, operated by our own IPAF/PASMA-certified installers, so there are no hire-fleet delays.
