No matter how prepared and safe you are in a warehouse with pallet rack, accidents will occasionally happen. Especially when you drive around on a forklift that can bend metal with just a light tough.
Locker-Supply.com representing ABAL Material Handling has been provided a quick and easy solution to replacing damaged pallet rack uprights. When you damage an upright or beam, you should immediately empty out that section of rack so there is no load on the damaged area to cause a possible collapse. Next, call Locker-Supply.com to come survey your damaged material to see if you are a candidate for pallet rack repair kits. If you have damaged the pallet rack upright too high up, it's just easier to replace the upright rather than install a repair kit.
Here is just a brief summary of how repair kits work. Locker-Supply.com by ABAL will send a trained sales person to your facility to survey the damage. We will match the replacement repair kit to your existing pallet rack style. We then ask you to remove all material from the sections that are putting a load on the upright that needs repair. Yes, this does take time for your to do, but it is less time removing the material and cutting off a damaged leg rather than an installer to removed all beams and decking and replacing the upright all together.
Next, we will attach our jack to your existing upright and pump lift it off the ground so that we can make a clean and even cut across the pallet rack upright leg. The jack will support the weight of the remaining upright and beams. Once the damaged portion of the upright is removed, we replace with a repair kit as soon below. There are different styles of repair kits. You can get them reinforced to be stronger than what you currently have. Once the kit is attached to your upright, we attach the struts the to the repair kit and anchor it to the ground. Your upright is as good as new with minimal work on your end.
