In today’s fast-paced warehouse environments, racking damage is inevitable. From time sensitive lead times to consumer demands, there are many factors that can result in minor incidents that cause damage. But over time, this damage can impact day-to-day operations and profit.
In fact, the costs related to racking collapse incidents within the UK warehousing industry is estimated to be around £1.5 billion per year.
Eighty five per cent of all racking damage occurs below 600mm but with the right internal processes in place – or even structural support – this number could be reduced. The most common causes of racking damage include forklift collisions, overloading the weight capacity, components being damaged and poor load distribution onto the racking itself. But regardless of the actions that cause damage to racking, they all lead to the same result – an impact on your downtime and an increase in your costs.
There are a number of ways to minimise damage to your racking. But what if there was a way you could not only repair your racking, but also prevent it from future damage?
Introducing the Goliath™ Upright Repair Kit
There are existing solutions available on the market that protect against racking upright impact and repairs, but none of these do anything to stop the most severe impacts. PD Industrial, one of the UK’s leading providers of large-scale warehouse racking, installation and repairs, have an innovative solution. Goliath™, a new upright repair kit, has been designed to not only repair damaged racking uprights, but also prevent future damage from occurring. Designed to fit all types of pallet racking, Goliath™ has been designed to end the repetitive cycle of damage and replacement.
Manufactured from 6mm structural steel, Goliath™ has been designed to far exceed upright load carrying capacities, and enhances, rather than alters the design of your existing racking. Designed to withstand even the most demanding warehouses and reduce the effects of impact.
Designed to be compatible with all types of pallet racking, Goliath™ is a flexible solution that can support any warehouse environment. Meeting industry standards including BS EN 15512:2020 + A1:2022, BS EN 15635:2008 and SEMA Code of Practice for the Design of Adjustable Pallet Racking; Goliath™ provides peace of mind through an enforced safety measure keeping your staff safe whilst also protecting the value of goods on site.
Repair and Protect
What sets Goliath™ apart from other market solutions is that it can be installed in as little as 30 minutes, reducing disruption to busy warehouses. Its design means it’s compatible with all manufacturers, fitting all redundant and current racking systems in the UK & Europe.
To maintain safety standards in the UK, the warranty for the kit includes the bay load/structure and repair of the pallet racking, meeting industry standards. The intuitive design also means pallet racking is only enhanced by Goliath™, rather than altered – all bolstered further by the Lifetime Warranty, ensuring warehouses can continue to run efficiently and safely, whilst enjoying reductions in cost.
With the Goliath™ Rack Repair kit, you can stop replacing and start protecting. Not only does this solution save you money in the long run, but it can actively support you with your sustainability goals, reducing your carbon footprint. Make this the last piece of racking steel you ever replace!
