Pallet Rack Repair Kits vs. OEM part Replacement?

When faced with a damaged rack upright, one can choose to repair the damaged part or replace the entire upright. Pallet rack repair kits are a better solution as they are more cost-effective, quicker to ship, and easier to install (they usually require no unloading.)

Damotech's engineered rack repair kits are built-to-measure and fit on any rack from any manufacturer in the United States or Canada. They follow the original configuration of the rack, maintain its load capacity, and offer protection against future damage.

Less Warehouse Downtime

Lead time on pallet rack repair kits is much shorter than ordering replacement parts from a rack manufacturer (OEM), which can take several months to arrive. A Damotech rack repair kit requires minimal to no unloading of pallets. A replacement, on the other hand, requires you to unload stored merchandise, momentarily store it elsewhere, dismantle the afflicted rack, un-clip and remove all the beams, install the new upright and beams, and re-load your pallets.

Pallet Rack Repair Frequently Asked Questions

Accordion Group Headline

I have damaged uprights. What should I do?
FAQ arrow
As racks get damaged, they may lose load capacity and compromise the rest of the system. We recommended you contact Damotech so we can arrange for one of our experts to survey the damage and offer a solution.
Is repairing an upright cheaper than replacing it?
FAQ arrow
YES! Although the cost of an upright replacement and a repair kit can be somewhat similar, once the values of time, safety, ease of installation and built-in prevention are taken into account, the value proposition of a engineered pallet rack repair kit becomes very clear. Plus, the replacement of an upright is ripe for being damaged again as soon as it is installed. By comparison, our permanent repair kits come with a lifetime warranty. Install it and forget it! See our infographics on rack column repair kits and rack brace repair kits.

  6. Maintains the upright strength and load bearing capacity.
  7. Requires less space for storage of pallets during installation, optimizing workspace efficiency.

  11. May remove requirement to disengage sprinkler systems or electrical wiring going through the top of a rack frame.
