PALLET RACK REPAIR · RACKCYCLE

Protect People, Prevent Failures, Reduce Downtime

Rack damage isn't a question of if, it's a question of when and how bad. Our RACKCYCLE process repairs damaged uprights in 20–30 minutes per kit, often without unloading the rack, at up to 80% savings versus full replacement.

Why Repair vs. Replace

The part many warehouses get wrong

A damaged rack component doesn't always fail immediately. A bent upright can keep carrying load, at reduced capacity, with reduced safety margins, for months before a critical incident happens. Most warehouses handle this the same way: notice the damage, assess it informally, decide it "looks okay," and move on. That informal call is where serious accidents, OSHA citations, and real liability exposure originate.

Up to 80%

Typical savings vs. replacement

Certified repair kits restore a column to its original load rating without the cost of a full upright replacement.

20–30 min

Per-kit installation time

We can repair your upright while the rack is still loaded, no product unloading needed in most cases.

OSHA Compliant

Engineer-approved kits

Custom punch styles and color options to match your existing racks, engineered stronger than the section being replaced.

Repair also keeps steel out of the furnace, quantify it with the environmental savings calculator.

Three ways to engage

Rack repair and facility maintenance are two channels of the same offering: keeping your operation running. Whatever state your rack is in, there's an entry point.

1 · Rack Safety Inspection

Find what needs attention

A 172-point inspection built on FM Global, ANSI RMI MH16.1, and DS89 standards, existing damage plus anything likely to cause it, documented to insurance grade.

2 · Rack Repair

Fix known damage

Certified RACKCYCLE repair kits installed by our crews, typically 20–30 minutes per kit, often without unloading the rack.

3 · Maintenance Plan

Stay compliant on a cadence

The Rack Safety Maintenance Plan: Standard or Priority, pairs scheduled inspections with a written action plan, repair discounts, and priority response.

The path most customers take: inspection first. It surfaces the work, then the plan keeps you compliant year over year.

Red Flags: Be Aware

What to look for during a walkthrough

Not all rack damage requires immediate action, but all rack damage requires honest assessment. Use this working classification during your own inspections, and flag anything moderate or severe for a professional assessment.

Watch For

01
Bent or twisted uprights
Dents or tears within the bottom 24"
Loose or missing anchors
Beam-end connector deformation
Rusted or cracked baseplates

Damage Severity Classification

02
Cosmetic
Paint scratches, minor surface rust, minor dents that don't affect the cross-section. Monitor, no immediate action.
Moderate
Visible deformation of a column or beam, base plate damage, impacted anchoring. Assess promptly, likely needs repair or replacement.
Severe
Significant column deformation, rack visibly out of plumb, base plate torn from the floor. Remove from service immediately.

Building an Inspection Program

It doesn't need to be complex

Our inspections are data-driven, not just a checklist: we log the aisle and bay location of every repair, so over time you get hot-spot reports, year-over-year damage trends, and real numbers for R&M budgeting, plus the documentation trail that protects you if something is ever questioned.

Common Questions

Rack repair, quick answers

In most cases, yes. RACKCYCLE repair kits typically install in 20–30 minutes and are designed to reestablish structural integrity without requiring the rack to be unloaded first.

We offer 48-hour emergency repair availability within 300 miles of the Memphis area, with experienced local installation crews.

It's compliant, not a workaround. Our kits are engineered and manufactured to be stronger than the section being replaced, and are OSHA-compliant and engineer-approved. For enterprise clients under FM Global or similar safety mandates, a documented repair relationship is part of the compliance program.

Scheduled rack safety inspections (annual or semi-annual), a written action plan for anything found, discounted repairs, and priority scheduling. Two tiers: Standard, and Priority for larger or higher-risk facilities with faster critical response and a facility-wide safety action plan. Most customers start with a single inspection and convert from there.
