Does a Damo Pro increase the original rack's load capacity?

No. A DAMO PRO repair kit is not designed to increase the original load capacity of your pallet rack upright. Instead, it is engineered to restore the rack to its original rated capacity and configuration, as intended by the rack manufacturer. In other words, if your rack was properly designed and labeled for a specific vertical load, a correctly installed DAMO PRO restores the damaged location to its original safe capacity. 

Here’s what changes when you install a DAMO PRO: you dramatically increase protection, durability, and reliability at that location. 

The DAMO PRO is built from 1/4-inch structural steel and forms a heavy-duty shell around the damaged portion of the upright. It’s designed to withstand everyday warehouse abuse, forklift blades, outriggers, pallets, and low-level impacts in high-traffic areas. Instead of repeatedly damaging and replacing OEM uprights, you effectively “armor” that position with a permanent engineered repair. 

Every DAMO PRO kit is:

  • Custom-made to your rack – It matches your upright’s dimensions and original brace pattern, so structural behavior and capacities are maintained. 
  • Bolt-on and code-conscious – Installed using high-shear Hilti screw-type anchors, with no on-site welding or hot work permits required. 
  • Fast to install – Typically installed in under an hour with little to no unloading, thanks to our proprietary lifting device and certified installation crews. 

Where you see a real upgrade is in impact resistance and lifecycle cost, not in posted capacity. The DAMO PRO comes with a lifetime impact warranty: if the repair kit itself becomes significantly damaged under regular use, Damotech will repair or replace it. That means the repaired upright is not only back to its original capacity, but also now far better protected against repeat damage and unplanned downtime. 

If you’re unsure about your current rack load capacities or want them verified after repairs, pair DAMO PRO with Damotech’s engineering and load capacity calculation services for complete peace of mind.
