The repair kit for an industrial
pallet racking frame according to the present invention is a freestanding, welded assembly constructed from fabricated steel components. The repair kit is used to replace a damaged lower section on a structural or roll-formed industrial pallet racking frame and is an alternative to a complete frame replacement or a field welded spliced frame section. The repair kit does not require complete unloading of goods supported by the frame, as would be required in a complete frame replacement. The repair kit does not require any field welding as a welded splice requires, making this a much desired repair in a hazardous material, food, or drug warehouse, or where welding permits are required. The kit provides for alternative repairs, generally to replace the damaged section of the
pallet racking with structural equivalents for the materials that were damaged and requiring repair. The repair kit is a very cost effective and a permanent repair due to its high impact and impact deflecting capabilities.
When the rear leg of the
pallet racking frame is damaged or corroded, an optional rear post repair kit is provided to be used in conjunction with the main repair kit. The rear post repair kit is installed after removing the damaged section of the rear post of the pallet racking frame and mechanically splicing the rear post with the rear post repair kit, thereby obtaining the same advantages obtainable when connecting the repair kit to an undamaged rear post of a pallet racking frame.
The repair kit is designed to replace the damaged lower post section of the
pallet racking frame. The damaged section of the pallet racking frame is removed, the repair kit is inserted and the pallet racking is mechanically spliced to the repair kit. The repair kit captures and bonds the undamaged back leg of the pallet racking to the repair kit. The repair kit does not, in any way, use the undamaged back leg of the
pallet racking to support, or increase the impact capacity of the repair kit. The repair kit reinforces, strengthens, captures and bonds to the repaired frame.
