Can I install your repair kits myself?

Damotech’s protection products, such as column guards and end-of-aisle protection, can often be self-installed by your in-house maintenance team or a local contractor, provided they follow the installation instructions and adhere to your corporate safety policies. Many customers choose this option for straightforward guarding projects or when rolling out protection in phases across multiple facilities. 

Rack repair kits, however, are different. Because they directly affect the structural integrity and load capacity of your pallet racking, Damotech repair kits are installed by trained and certified professionals. Handling rack repair is serious work: an improperly installed kit can compromise the system, create hidden safety risks, or lead to audit failure. That’s why we rely on our network of certified installers and our dedicated Orange Pros installation team. 

Orange Pros specializes in rack repair and protection installations, following strict engineering guidelines and safety best practices. Using proprietary equipment like the DAMO EASY LIFT, they can typically install a repair kit in under an hour with minimal to no unloading of pallets. All installers are recertified annually, follow OSHA and site-specific safety rules, and carry appropriate insurance. This ensures your repairs are completed correctly, safely, and with minimal disruption to operations. 

For very large companies or distribution centers, a limited self-installation program may be possible. Still, it requires formal training, certification from Damotech, and a signed agreement acknowledging responsibility for the quality and safety of the installation. 

If you’re considering a repair project, the best approach is to have our experts handle the installation, ensuring your racking is structurally sound and compliant. Our Orange Pros team also offers turnkey project management, national coverage, flexible scheduling, and proactive communication throughout the project.
