Is rack repair disruptive to my warehouse operations?

Rack repair with Damotech is explicitly designed to minimize disruption to your day-to-day operations. One of the most significant advantages of our repair solutions is the way they’re installed. Instead of dismantling bays, unloading long stretches of racking, and bringing in welders, our certified crews use a patented lifting device, the DAMO EASY LIFT, to safely support the rack. At the same time, the damaged section is removed, and the repair kit is bolted in place. 

In most cases, this method requires little to no pallet unloading. The upright is slightly lifted off the slab, the damaged portion is cut out, and the engineered repair kit (such as a DAMO PRO) is installed and anchored to the floor. Because everything is bolted, there is no on-site welding, no hot work permits are required, and no fire watch is necessary. This not only reduces safety and compliance headaches, but it also shortens the time your aisles are partially restricted. 

A standard rack repair kit can typically be installed in under an hour, often in 30-45 minutes for standard configurations. Our teams coordinate with your supervisors to schedule repairs at convenient times, sequencing work so that traffic lanes stay open and critical pick locations remain available whenever possible. For multi-site operators, our Orange Pros installation team and dealer network manage logistics across locations to keep projects on schedule without derailing your production targets. 

Compared to complete upright replacement, which can involve unloading, dismantling beams, waiting on OEM lead times, and re-commissioning the system, Damotech’s rack repair approach is faster, cleaner, and far less disruptive. Once installed, the repair kit restores the rack’s original load capacity and protects that location against most future impacts, reducing the need for repeated interventions.
