Abstract: An integral pallet rack post reinforcement kit for protecting the lower pallet rack frame from forklifts, etc. which takes the place of the lower six to twelve inches of the front frame post and fastened in its place. The kit is, for example, square tube welded to a three-sided outer clamp which bears a front angle deflector. These components are welded to a four inch by twelve inch by three-eighths inch footplate with two three-quarter inch by five inch by half inch wedge bolt anchors for attachment to the warehouse floor. Accordingly, this footplate replaces the original footplate. By using the reinforcement kit with the angle deflector, frontal impacts are deflected off to one side. The front post of the original pallet rack the present reinforcement kit would, over time, fail from cyclical or repeated impacts.

Abstract: The repair kit for an industrial pallet rack frame has a front post having an upper end and a lower end, and an intermediate post having an upper end and a lower end. The front post and the rear post are connected by an upper cross member and a lower cross member in parallel and spaced apart relation defining a rectangular or square frame having an interior. The front and intermediate posts and the upper and lower cross members are preferably made from rectangular tubular metal stock. Both the front post and the rear post have an anchor plate attached to the lower end of the posts facing the interior of the frame. The front post has an outer clamp jaw defined by a U-shaped channel attached to its upper end, as well as a support plate perpendicular to the outer clamp jaw which caps the front post. An inner clamp jaw is removably attachable to the outer clamp jaw to clamp the front post of a pallet rack frame therebetween, the bottom of the pallet rack frame post resting on the support plate.
