Why Warehouse Pallet Rack Repair is Essential

In your warehouse, racking serves an important function: storage. After all, your materials, etc. are placed on these horizontal pallet racks by your forklifts. Since some of these loaded pallets can be heavy, it is important that your racking is very sturdy and dependable.

However, did you know that when your racking gets old or damaged you don’t need to replace it? That’s right—you simply need to restore it. Read on to learn more about this and why rack repair is so beneficial.

To start, there is no easy way to tell if a rack is completely safe after it has been damaged. There is the potential that, after the damage is incurred, it can collapse after the next load is delivered. This load could fall on your employees, causing serious injury. This is why it is a good idea to perform routine rack inspections annually. These inspections ensure that you are compliant with OSHA regulations.

As mentioned, once your racking becomes old or damaged, you don’t need to replace it; you simply need to restore it. How is this possible? We represent ROS Rack Repair. They are able to restore racking through hydraulic restoration. Through precision forming dyes and the controlled application of pressure, hydraulic restoration presses the upright racking back into its original shape.
