Upright Repair Kit
Damaged uprights compromise the safety of your entire warehouse. Our warehouse rack repair kits provide a professional, cost-effective alternative to full upright replacement. By focusing on the damaged section rather than the entire frame, facilities can restore structural integrity with minimal downtime and zero welding.
Why Choose Repair Kits Over Replacement?
Traditional warehouse rack repair requires labor-intensive upright removal, the unloading of multiple bays, and often the expensive breakdown and reassembly of fire sprinkler systems. Our engineered kits solve these challenges:
- No Welding Required: The bolt-in design of each pallet rack repair kit allows for a clean installation, making it an ideal task for competent maintenance crews.
- Zero Sprinkler Interference: Avoid the high costs of “dropping” sprinkler lines or re-piping around new frames.
- Operational Continuity: In most cases, the rack can be repaired without dismantling the entire system, keeping your inventory in place.
- Engineered Safety: Our kits are designed to meet or exceed the original rack’s load capacity, providing a permanent solution rather than a temporary patch.
Our Most Common Repair Solutions
We provide versatile kits suitable for almost any upright height and configuration. Based on common warehouse impacts, we prioritize three primary repair types:
Standard Lower Repair Kit:
This is our most utilized solution. Since the majority of forklift impacts occur within the first 24 inches of the floor, this pallet rack leg repair kit reinforces the “impact zone” and restores the structural base of the upright.
Single Column Rack Repair Kit:
For damage occurring higher up or on a specific side of the frame, the single-column kit is the ideal choice.
- Versatility: Can be installed anywhere from 24 inches above the floor to the very top of the frame.
- Stability: Employs aircraft-grade cable for superior tension and compression bracing.
- Reach: Available in lengths up to 144 inches to address significant vertical damage.
Cantilever Lower Repair Kit:
Specifically designed for facilities that use lower shelves for heavy picking, this kit includes custom beams for lower-shelf use. It not only repairs existing damage but is engineered to prevent future impacts at that specific location.
- Universal Compatibility: Our kits are engineered to work with a wide range of rack profiles and brands without requiring a full system replacement.
- Bolt-In Design: Eliminates the need for “hot work” permits and fire watches during installation.
- Durable Finish: Kits are finished to resist wear and can be color-matched to your existing racking for a seamless look.
