Rack maintenance and rack repair

Many factors can lead to damage to Shelving Systems, high racks, and storage shelving or cause them to fail under the stresses they endure. For instance, improperly stored pallets can overload the inner supports and beams. Cracked or poorly welded seams and damaged shelf beams no longer meet stringent safety requirements. A sustainable solution is Rack Repairwhich is often more cost-effective and time-saving than replacement. With this, you can opt for our proprietary rack repair process , which helps conserve resources and reduce waste.

If we identify such or similar defects during a rack inspection, you should act immediately: with rack repair or maintenance! Our SNI repair profile ensures that the carbon footprint is minimized. Instead of replacing and discarding the entire frame, our profile allows only the damaged part to be repaired. This enables the frame to remain fully functional without being compromised by a replacement.

We offer nationwide customers the organization and repair of damaged rack components, defective braces, and rack frames. Repairs are carried out during ongoing operations, ensuring no warehouse downtime. This is the only way to guarantee safe working conditions in the warehouse shortly after rack maintenance. As an industrial specialist in shelving and storage technology, we ensure operational safety in warehouses with our rack repair services.

The advantages of rack repair

  • Low time and cost expenditure
  • sustainable solution
  • No downtime as repairs can be carried out during operation
  • Restoration of viability
  • reinforced collision protection
  • CO2 footprint is minimized

Rack repairs with structural analysis at SNI-Nord

During rack repair, we restore your damaged storage equipment using repair profiles. The rack frames are repaired using specially manufactured sheet metal constructions. The applied structural repair profile was subjected to a pressure test of 16 tons and 20 tons by DEKRA. Since no deformations were detected during the test, our profile received the DEKRA test certificate with the certification number 2014-423-00054-01..

Rack repairs can only be approved if it is proven that they are sufficiently safe, either through calculations or practical tests. This is explained in the DGUV Information 208-043 (BGI 5166) "Safety of Racks" by the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for Trade and Goods Distribution (BGHW).

Repairs to racks may, in principle, also be carried out by companies that are not the manufacturer of the rack and without the manufacturer's approval. The following conditions must be met: The repairer guarantees and certifies to the operator that the load-bearing capacity of the rack is at least as good as when new. Upon request by authorities (such as trade supervisory boards or social accident insurance institutions), the repairer must provide proof of sufficient load-bearing capacity. This proof can be provided through calculations and/or testing." (Source: BGHM – https://www.bghm.de/)

Innovative Process for Rack Maintenance/Rack Repair – Simple and Hassle-Free (by SNI Nord)

Designation: Method for Straightening, Method for Maintenance, and Press Device for Straightening a Deformed Load-Bearing Profile.

The innovative method for straightening, maintaining, and the press device for straightening a deformed load-bearing profile allows for the straightforward straightening of the deformed load-bearing profile using a hydraulic press. Following this, a repair profile is added around the previously affected load-bearing profile for reinforcement and securely attached. The advantage of this method is that the repair is significantly less complex and cumbersome, as previously, the load-bearing profile of the rack frame had to be replaced. This required unloading the rack and, in some cases, partially disassembling it before the repair. Our method is therefore:

• uncomplicated
• easier
• time-saving
• preventive

Rack Repairs:

Cost Reduction & Time Savings in Repairs

In most cases, damage to rack components involves either the replacement or repair of the affected parts or the entire rack system. 

 

Rack Inspection Before a Potential Repair:

If defects classified as red or orange hazard levels (severe damage) are identified during an inspection of a warehouse rack, the warehouse operator must act immediately. If the racks are left unaddressed for an extended period, the cost of repairing rack components can become substantial. As a specialized company for rack repairs and warehouse systems, we have thoroughly explored this topic to develop cost-effective solutions for warehouse operators.
