ADJUSTABLE RACK REPAIR KIT

DAMO FLEX is a modular rack repair kit designed for areas with less forklift impact—think mid‑aisle positions with lower traffic. It uses the same patented design principles as DAMO PRO, with a 3/16" front post and modular components measured and cut on‑site for a precise fit.

DAMO FLEX line carries a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Although this kit is substantially sturdier than any original damaged upright it is replacing, it does not carry a lifetime warranty against impact like our PRO line.

COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION

Compared with replacing uprights, DAMO FLEX cuts labor and downtime. Crews install it with the DAMO EASY LIFT in under an hour, usually without dismantling beams or unloading full bays. Standard sizes let you stock units and reduce freight cost per pallet.

Best uses for DAMO FLEX

  • Tight maintenance budgets
  • Low‑traffic, low‑velocity zones
  • Mid‑aisle locations
  • Standard rack systems under 20 ft
  • When you want more units per pallet to optimize freight

Benefits of modular rack repair kits

Strong

We use high-quality structural steel with a heavy gauge to offer true impact resistance.

Bolt-On Kits

DAMO FLEX kits are shipped ready to be installed, with all the necessary hardware. No welding is done on-site.

Any Type of Rack

We will repair and protect any type of rack, even those that are no longer manufactured.

Powder Coated Paint

A process called electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) is used to achieve the application of the powder coating. All our paint is done in-house, in our new facility.

Peace of Mind

Our repair kits also protect the rack column after the installation is done. This means you no longer have to worry about damaging it again.

Custom Units

Our units are made-to-measure in height and size. We also offer the possibility of special paint color, galvanizing the unit or modifying the footplate.

CONTACT US

Our rack repair solutions are designed to respect the specifications of your original racking system. They restore the original load capacity while extending their lifespan — safely and permanently.

Our experts will visit your warehouse, take all the necessary measurements and specify the right product for each reported deficiency.

Our units are made-to-measure for your specific needs. No matter the dimensions, finish (paint color, galvanization), type of foot plate (seismic), or rack configuration, we'll custom build the units to your exact requirements.

When faced with damaged racking components, one can choose to repair them with dedicated repair units or replace them with original OEM parts. Rack repair products offer several advantages that need to be considered:

Permanent

Our repair products are permanent, robust, and come with a warranty that provides full peace of mind. Replacing with OEM parts means your uprights remain vulnerable to impact and may get damaged again and again.

Quick Delivery

Lead time for Damotech products is short. Units are ready to ship in two weeks. That's much faster than ordering OEM parts which can take weeks to arrive.

Less Disruptive

The installation process is quick and easy, and unloading is usually not necessary, thanks to the Easy Lift. No need to dismantle and reattach beams, which means less downtime. It's more cost effective and has less impact on your day to day operations.

All these reasons make our repair products a smarter solution and a better long-term investment.
Visit the Why Damotech page to learn why top warehouse operators trust Damotech as their partner for rack safety.

Because we strive to offer consistent installations regardless of location, all our installers are trained and certified by our most experienced engineers. A standard repair kit can be installed by our certified installers in under an hour.

We aim to have your made-to-measure repair units ready to ship in two weeks or less.

At Damotech, we stand behind our products. DAMO FLEX comes with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. This means that the product you purchase will be free from defects in material and workmanship.

What is DAMO FLEX?

FAQ arrow

A modular, adjustable rack repair kit for mid‑aisle, lower‑risk areas. Braces are cut on‑site to fit your exact geometry, and the front post is 3/16" structural steel. It bolts on—no on‑site welding—and installs in under an hour with the DAMO EASY LIFT, often with minimal unloading. FLEX is inventory‑friendly and ships efficiently due to separate components and standard sizes. It carries a 10‑year manufacturer’s warranty against defects.

When should I choose DAMO FLEX vs. DAMO PRO?

FAQ arrow

Use FLEX in low‑traffic, mid‑aisle locations and budget‑sensitive applications. Choose PRO for higher‑risk zones (ends of aisles, drive‑in/VNA, heavy traffic) and where a lifetime impact warranty matters most. Both restore original capacity; PRO adds maximum durability and lifetime coverage.

I found damage in my warehouse. What's the next step?

FAQ arrow

As racks get damaged, they may lose some capacity and compromise the rest of the system. We recommended you call Damotech so we can arrange for an expert to survey the damage and offer a solution.

Who can install Damotech’s column repair kits, and who are the Orange Pros?

FAQ arrow

Installation can be seamlessly handled by Damotech’s certified Orange Pros team, who manage everything from initial scheduling to logistics, ensuring minimal disruption to your warehouse operations.

Benefits of working with Orange Pros include:

How long does installation take—and will I need to unload?

FAQ arrow

A standard kit typically installs in under one hour with the DAMO EASY LIFT. In many cases, little to no unloading is required because beams are not dismantled. Your site conditions and damage severity drive final steps.

How long does it take for your products to ship?

FAQ arrow

Damotech targets a shipment of made-to-measure units in approximately two weeks, subject to scope and volume. Priority scheduling is available via our certified Orange Pros installation team.

What kind of paint do you use on your products?

FAQ arrow

Our products are powder coated onsite. This means a high-quality finish that withstands the roughest and toughest conditions. It provides a durable and attractive finish that reduces the risk of scratches, chipping, abrasions, corrosion, fading and other wear issues.

What does DBRS mean?

FAQ arrow

DBRS stands for Doubled Back Reinforcement System—an option to repair both the front and rear columns at the same time. It is available on PRO and FLEX. The term is also referred to as Double Leg.

Will you tell me what type of repair kit I need for every damaged location?

Yes. Our repair specialist will assess the damage in your warehouse and advise you on what type of rack repair kits you need for every location. Your quote will contain the location of the damage and the proposed product for that location.

Does a repair restore the original rack capacity?

FAQ arrow

This aligns with RMI/ANSI MH16.1 guidance that repairs must restore at least the original design capacity. Engage qualified rack safety professionals as needed.

Does FLEX work in freezers or temperature‑controlled areas?

FAQ arrow

Yes. Damotech’s bolted repair approach avoids on‑site welding and is suitable for installations in environments including freezers, with proper procedures and crew.

Is on‑site welding required?

FAQ arrow

No. FLEX kits are bolt‑on solutions. They ship with hardware and are installed by certified professionals to maintain safety and compliance.

How does FLEX support safety and compliance?

FAQ arrow

Repairs are engineered to restore original capacity and follow the rack’s original configuration. Industry standards referenced by safety professionals include ANSI/RMI MH16.1 (U.S.) and CSA A344 (Canada). Your facility should maintain clear load plaques and documented inspections.
