Racking Relocation Kent — Dismantle, Move & Reinstall
As the UK's busiest cross-Channel freight corridor, Kent sees frequent racking relocations as logistics operations expand and adapt.
A Cost-Effective Alternative to Buying New
Relocating existing racking in Kent is one of the highest-value decisions a warehouse operator can make. Reusing frames, beams, mesh decks and pallet supports you already own typically delivers significant savings compared with specifying a brand-new installation, with the added sustainability benefit of avoiding unnecessary steel manufacture.
From Survey to Handover Across Kent
Relocating racking is far more than a removal job. In Kent we start with a measured survey of both sites, produce a reinstall drawing and method statement, dismantle in a controlled top-down sequence with full component labelling, transport on our own HGVs, and reinstall to SEMA standards — finishing with load notices and a PUWER completion certificate.
In-House Labour, Access Equipment and Haulage
Labour, MEWPs, forklifts and transport for Kent projects all come from Rackstor UK Ltd. Because nothing is subcontracted or hired in, we control the programme, the standard of workmanship and the cost — and you deal with one company throughout.
Your Kent Handover Pack
We finish Kent 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 Compliant Reinstallation
All racking we reinstall in Kent is set out and built to SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers' Association) standards. Floor fixings, frame plumb, beam engagement, safety pins, row spacers and signage are all installed and checked in line with current UK guidance — protecting your people, your stock and your insurance position.

Common Questions From Kent Operators
How much does racking relocation cost in Kent?
Relocating existing racking in Kent usually costs significantly less than buying new. We provide fixed-price quotations following a free site survey — no day-rate billing and no surprise extras.
Can you move our older racking in Kent?
In most cases yes. We work with every major UK make — Dexion, Link 51, Redirack, Stow, Mecalux, Apex, HiLo, Polypal, PSS, Stakapal and more — and identify at survey any components that need replacing before reinstallation.
Can you work weekends or overnight in Kent?
Yes. Many Kent relocations are phased over evenings and weekends so the warehouse keeps trading, and urgent make-safe works can be attended at short notice.
Do you use hired plant in Kent?
No — the scissor lifts, forklifts and MEWPs on your Kent site are ours, operated by our own IPAF/PASMA-certified installers, so there are no hire-fleet delays.
Will the moved racking still satisfy our insurer?
That's the point of the handover pack. Kent relocations are rebuilt to SEMA standards and signed off with a written PUWER completion certificate, load notices and inspection records.
