DAMO ADVANTAGE Rack Repair Kit (Standard Front)


DAMO ADVANTAGE
A Repair Kit with a punched Front Column

This pallet rack repair kit fixes the most common rack column damage. The front column will be punched to match the style of your OEM frame. The internal reinforcement strengthens the corners of the column while still allowing for low-beam attachment. The standard and non-protruding versions of DAMO ADVANTAGE are also ideal for very narrow aisles (VNA) configurations as they do not protrude within the aisle.

Punch Style Compatibility

The punch hole patterns on DAMO ADVANTAGE repair kit are specifically created for convenience and flexibility. They match the standard hole configurations on your OEM pallet racks, allowing existing beams to be reattached seamlessly without requiring additional drilling or new brackets. This compatibility simplifies the repair process, reduces installation time, and ensures a strong, secure connection. Several custom punch types are available; ask a Damotech representative.

STRONG AND ADAPTABLE REPAIR KIT

DAMO ADVANTAGE is designed to reuse existing OEM struts/braces or accept new repair struts when needed (learn about DAMO BRACE). The front post is reinforced with a backer channel for additional strength. The kit has a 3/8" thick oversized footplate and comes with two 3/4" x 7" anchors, providing high resistance to impact and column twisting. The standard DAMO ADVANTAGE comes without a deflector, allowing for beam attachment at floor level.

Our rack repair solutions are designed to respect the specifications of your original racking system. They restore the original load capacity while extending their lifespan—safely and permanently.

Our experts will visit your warehouse, take all the measurements, and specify the right product for each reported deficiency.

Our units are made-to-measure for your specific needs. No matter the dimensions, finish, type of footplate, or rack configuration, we'll custom-build kits to your exact requirements.

When faced with damaged racking components, one can choose to repair them with dedicated repair kits or replace them with original OEM parts. Rack repair products offer several advantages that need to be considered:

Permanent

Our robust repair products have a warranty that provides full peace of mind. Replacing with OEM parts means your uprights remain vulnerable to impact and may get damaged repeatedly.

Quick Delivery

The lead time for Damotech products is short. Units are ready to ship in weeks, which is much faster than ordering OEM parts that can take months to arrive.

Less Disruptive

Thanks to our proprietary lifting device, the installation process is quick and easy, and unloading is usually unnecessary. There is no need to dismantle and reattach beams, which means less downtime. It's more cost-effective and has less impact on your day-to-day operations.

All these reasons make our repair products a smarter solution and a better long-term investment.
