If your facility is like many others, you probably have damaged pallet rack that needs to be replaced. You also might have delayed doing anything about the damaged rack because of the cost, down time and inconvenience involved. However, by putting it off, you are putting your facility, product and personnel at risk.

The capacity of a rack column that is out-of-plumb or out-of-straight can be significantly reduced and could, if severe enough, compromise your entire racking system. The ANSI/RMI Specification shows the maximum out-of-plumb ratio for a loaded rack column to be 1/2″ per 10 feet of height. Columns whose out-of-plumb ratio exceeds this limit must be unloaded and re-plumbed and any damaged parts must be repaired or replaced. This ratio can also be used for straightness. The out-of-straightness limit between any two points on a column should not exceed 0.05″ per foot of length (1/2″ per 10 feet).
