Our expertise and customer service are what distinguish us from competitors. We start with a call (or email) and then visit your warehouse where damage has been reported for a free rack damage evaluation. Our specialists will assess the condition of your racking systems and offer advice on the scope of the repair work needed. They will also inform you whether it is safe to continue using the system or if it needs to be unloaded. If a rack column has been damaged, our expert will take the necessary measurements to prepare a leg repair kit proposal. An adjustable brace repair kit could be specified if one is missing or bent, saving you from replacing an entire upright.
Our rack repair specialist will review the damage and let you know the specific type of rack repair kit needed for every identified rack damage. We will prepare a detailed quote for you to approve and schedule the production and installation. Depending on the overall condition of your warehouse and your budget, we may split the work into different phases and prioritize the more urgent repairs to ensure your warehouse is safe to operate.
Once a purchase order is approved, your units will be put into production and ready for shipping in a matter of weeks. Damotech has the industry’s shortest production time for custom-built repair products. This results from significant investments in our LEED-certified production facility with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology & automation. The short manufacturing lead time is one of the many benefits of using Damotech repair kits over OEM replacement parts.
Once an installation date has been identified, your units will be shipped by freight. We usually ship the repair kits directly to your warehouse so they are on-site when the certified installers arrive. The rack repair units are mounted on wooden pallets with corrugated cardboard and stretch-wrapped for their protection. All the necessary installation hardware, such as backplates, bolts, and anchors, is included in the shipment.
Our large network of certified installers allows us to service your warehouse regardless of geographic location, anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. Installations are carried out by seasoned installers trained and certified by Damotech. Each rack repair kit is generally installed in less than 45 minutes using our proprietary Easy-Lift repair jack. The installation is coordinated in advance for a time that best suits your schedule and should not impact your regular operations. Voila, your rack frames have been permanently repaired, have regained their full load capacity, and can now withstand impact from most forklift operations!
Our DAMO PRO repair kits are permanent and put an end to the ongoing cycle of upright replacement prevalent in most modern warehouses. They are robust and have a lifetime warranty that provides full peace of mind. This makes our rack repair units a smarter solution to rack damage and a better long-term investment than upright replacement.

There are several advantages to replacing a bent or missing brace on your uprights instead of replacing the entire upright. First, unloading or dismantling your racks is unnecessary to address the issue, saving you time and money. But did you know you could also easily save 85% versus rack replacement costs?

Damotech's repair kits are installed using a proprietary pallet rack jack − the DAMO EASY LIFT − for quick and safe installation, with minimal unloading required. It supports the rack while we install the repair kit.
Repair vs. replacement needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In most cases, a repair kit is a better option as it can save time and money since the product can generally be manufactured much faster than new racking. Rack repair kits can also be stocked for instant replacement and to minimize downtime. The ideal pallet rack repair kit is easy to install and engineered to fit your existing uprights perfectly. This means that once installed, it will restore the rack’s original load capacity and permanently protect against future impact from forklifts.
It is important to note that not all rack repair kits are one and the same. Depending on which company you purchase from, the quality of the kit will vary. Some will repair but not protect against future impact. Damotech repair kits are engineered to last a lifetime of sustained abuse.
