Lead times vary depending on the scale and complexity of your storage project. For standard stock items and simple industrial shelving, we can often provide next-day delivery. For larger, bespoke installations—such as complete warehouse fit-outs, heavy-duty pallet racking, or custom mezzanine floors—lead times typically range up to 6 weeks. We always provide a clear, transparent project timeline during your initial consultation to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.

Absolutely. We understand that upgrading your commercial storage is a significant capital investment. To help you manage cash flow while still expanding your operational capacity, we offer flexible, competitive financing options for all our racking and mezzanine installations. Contact our team to discuss a budget-friendly payment plan tailored specifically to your business needs.

Under UK health and safety legislation, your warehouse racking must be maintained in a safe working condition. The Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (SEMA) highly recommends that a formal, documented inspection is carried out by a technically competent person—such as a SEMA Approved Rack Inspector (SARI)—at least once every 12 months. Alongside this annual check, you should conduct regular in-house visual inspections to spot immediate damage. Ikon offers comprehensive, SEMA-aligned inspection and maintenance packages to keep your facility fully compliant.

In most cases, installing a mezzanine floor inside your existing warehouse does not require planning permission, as it is considered an internal alteration. However, it will always require Building Regulations approval to ensure it meets strict structural, fire safety, and accessibility standards. At Ikon, our end-to-end service means we manage the entire Building Regulations application process on your behalf, ensuring your new mezzanine is completely compliant and hassle-free.

The load capacity of industrial pallet racking varies significantly depending on the specific system, the height of the frames, the type of beams used, and how the weight is distributed. For example, standard adjustable pallet racking can often hold several tonnes per level, while heavy-duty systems like Drive-In racking are engineered for high-density bulk storage. To ensure maximum safety, load capacity signs (Safe Working Load notices) must always be clearly displayed. If you are unsure what capacity you need, contact Ikon for a free site survey to calculate your exact requirements.

Yes, absolutely. We do much more than just install new systems. If you are moving premises, we offer complete warehouse relocation services, safely dismantling your existing racking and re-installing it at your new site. We also provide certified racking repair services; if a forklift collision damages an upright or beam, our maintenance team can replace the compromised components swiftly to minimise operational downtime and keep your racking SEMA-compliant.

SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association) is the UK’s leading body for safe storage practice. Their guidelines cover the safe design, installation, use, and maintenance of warehouse racking. Key SEMA recommendations include ensuring all racking is installed by qualified professionals, conducting annual expert safety inspections, promptly reporting and repairing accidental damage, and displaying clear load capacity notices on every rack. Ikon strictly adheres to SEMA guidelines across all our installations and maintenance services to guarantee the safety of your workforce.
