Introducing Engineered Pallet Rack Repair Solutions & Protection
Shoppa’s Material Handling now offers pallet rack repair and protection, delivered through a strategic partnership with Damotech, the industry leader in engineered rack repair systems. This expanded capability allows Shoppa’s to support customers not only in rack design and installation, but throughout the lifecycle of their storage systems—including inspection, damage mitigation, repair, and long-term protection.
Engineered Rack Repairs
Pallet rack damage is a common issue in active warehouse environments, typically caused by forklift impacts, overloading, or improper handling. Damaged uprights, beams, or frames can significantly reduce a rack system’s load-bearing capacity and may place facilities out of compliance with OSHA regulations and Rack Manufacturers Institute (RMI) standards.
Temporary fixes like field welding, straightening, or bracing are not engineered solutions and may further compromise rack integrity. Proper repair requires an engineered approach that restores original design capacity and meets applicable safety codes.
Damotech specializes in engineered, code-compliant rack repair systems designed to restore structural integrity without requiring full rack replacement. These solutions are independently tested and engineered to meet or exceed original rack load capacities. Damotech repair columns and kits are designed to absorb impact energy and isolate damage, reducing the risk of progressive failure in racking systems.
Restore Safety With Confidence
Rack repair can often be a better option than replacement, particularly when minimizing downtime and operational disruption is a priority. Because Shoppa’s stocks many common repair kits, repairs can typically be completed quickly, keeping operations running smoothly. Repairs require fewer installers than a full replacement and generally do not require heavy rental equipment such as forklifts or scissor lifts. This means fewer personnel and equipment entering the facility, and it eliminates the need to unload and move all inventory, as is often required for an upright replacement. By focusing on targeted, engineered repairs, customers can restore rack integrity efficiently while maintaining continuity in their live operations.
Targeted Rack Protection
In addition to repair services, Shoppa’s offers rack protection products designed to prevent damage before it occurs. These include column protectors, end-of-aisle guards, and impact-resistant solutions engineered to withstand forklift collisions and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Implementing protection at high-impact areas can significantly extend rack life and improve overall warehouse safety.
The addition of pallet rack repair and protection services reinforces Shoppa’s commitment to safety-driven, engineered material handling solutions. By partnering with Damotech, Shoppa’s delivers proven repair technology that protects personnel, inventory, and infrastructure while maximizing the lifespan of existing rack systems.
