Do You Provide Warehouse Racking Repairs?
Yes. We carry out warehouse racking repairs UK-wide, covering all major systems including selective pallet racking, drive-in racking, push-back racking and cantilever racking.
We repair bent or buckled uprights, damaged beams and connectors, displaced base plates and worn or missing safety clips and locking pins. Where a component can be fixed in place, we'll repair it. Where it's beyond economical repair, we'll replace it with a compatible part rather than requiring a full rebuild.
Our engineers assess damage on site and provide a written report before work begins, so you know exactly what's needed. Get in touch and we'll arrange a visit.
How Quickly Can You Respond To Urgent Racking Damage?
For red-risk damage requiring immediate action, contact us directly and we will prioritise your visit. For planned repairs, lead times vary by location but are typically within a few working days.
What Types Of Pallet Racking Do You Repair?
Yes. We carry out repairs to all common racking systems including selective pallet racking, drive-in racking, push-back racking, cantilever racking, narrow aisle and VNA systems. If you are unsure whether your system is covered, call us and we will advise.
Is Pallet Racking Repair Always Possible?
Not always. Some damage, particularly to uprights that have been severely impacted, may be beyond economical or safe repair, in which case component replacement is the correct course of action. Our engineers will always give you an honest assessment and will not recommend replacement where repair is a viable option.
Can You Repair Racking From Any Manufacturer?
In most cases, yes. We source compatible replacement components for all major racking manufacturers. In rare instances where a proprietary component is not available, we will advise you on the appropriate alternative.
Do You Offer Cantilever Racking Repairs?
Yes! We repair cantilever racking across the UK, addressing the most common forms of damage we see on site.
The most frequent issues are bent or buckled arms, usually caused by impact from forklifts or loads being placed incorrectly. Damaged or leaning uprights are another common problem, often the result of a collision or uneven loading over time. We also regularly repair damaged base plates, which affect the stability of the whole upright, along with worn or missing arm locking pins and damaged bracing between uprights.
There are a few signs that indicate a cantilever system needs a repair visit rather than just monitoring. Visible bending or twisting in an arm or upright is the clearest warning sign, as is any leaning or misalignment along a run of racking. Look out too for cracked welds, loose or missing fixings at the base and any arms that no longer sit level. If loads are slipping, catching or difficult to place cleanly, this can also point to an underlying structural issue rather than a loading technique problem.
If you notice any of these signs, the section should be taken out of use and assessed before it's loaded again. Get in touch and we'll arrange an inspection and repair visit.
Do I Need A Racking Inspection Before A Repair Visit?
Not necessarily. If you have identified damage and need it repaired, we can attend and carry out both the damage assessment and the repair on the same visit. If you require a formal inspection report for compliance purposes, our pallet racking inspections service covers this in full.
