Racking Relocation Merseyside — Dismantle, Move & Reinstall
The Port of Liverpool's continued expansion means Merseyside businesses frequently need racking relocated to keep pace with growth.
Why Reusing Your Own Racking Makes Commercial Sense
The steel already sitting in your Merseyside warehouse is an asset, not a liability. Where racking is sound, relocating it costs substantially less than buying the equivalent new system — and because nothing new has to be rolled, galvanised and shipped, the carbon saving is significant too.
How We Move Racking in Merseyside
A Merseyside 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.
In-House Labour, Access Equipment and Haulage
Labour, MEWPs, forklifts and transport for Merseyside 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.
Sign-Off, Load Notices and Records
Before we leave a Merseyside site we issue a PUWER 1998 completion certificate, fit load notices matched to the rebuilt bay and beam configuration, and hand over inspection records and drawings. Nothing is left for you to chase afterwards.
SEMA-Aligned Setting Out and Sign-Off
Every Merseyside 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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Merseyside
What are your response times in Merseyside?
Free surveys are typically arranged within a day or two, and urgent relocation or make-safe attendance in Merseyside can usually be mobilised same-day depending on crew availability.
Do you handle mixed-brand installations?
Yes, and we make a point of identifying each run's manufacturer during the Merseyside survey. Mixing beam profiles between makes is a common cause of post-move problems, so runs are kept matched on reinstallation.
What will it cost to move our racking in Merseyside?
Price depends on bay count, height, access and haulage distance, so we survey first and then quote a fixed figure. For most Merseyside sites the relocation cost is well below the price of an equivalent new installation.
Who actually carries out the work on our Merseyside site?
Our own directly-employed installers, using Rackstor UK Ltd scissor lifts, forklifts and HGVs. No agency labour, no subcontracted crews and no hired-in access plant.
What paperwork do we get after a Merseyside relocation?
A PUWER 1998 completion certificate, an as-built reinstall drawing, load notices fitted to every run, and a post-installation inspection record.
