  • MODULAR AND ADJUSTABLE UPRIGHT REPAIR DEVICE FOR INDUSTRIAL STORAGE RACKS
    Publication number: 20250019161
    Abstract: The modular and adjustable system repairs structural damage or proactively prevents future damage to the upright frames of industrial pallet racks. The system includes several components to repair damage to pallet racks having a variety of shelf and upright connection types at various heights and depths. An angular adjustable strut may be fitted between a replacement column and the floor to provide additional stability without overloading a repaired component of the pallet rack. Additionally, a cuff provides further adjustability for small differences between manufacturers or field installation conditions such as shimming at the floor. In combination, the system transfers various forces on the pallet rack below the original repair back to the floor.
