We have the perfect solution for repairing damaged frames with the minimum amount of disruption and cost - the Sacrificial Leg.
- Independently tested by the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, Sheffield University
- Meets all the requirements of the SEMA code
Racking systems suffer from regular fork lift truck impact and inevitable damage to frames, yet in 90% of cases damage is restricted to the first 1000mm of the upright. It seems logical therefore, that only the damaged area is repaired rather than having to replace a complete frame requiring the dismantling of a number of rack bays, a time-consuming and expensive repair. The sacrificial leg overcomes the problem of damaged frames with minimal fuss. Sacrificial leg frames have a splice built into the front leg and the bottom diagonal is reversed. Any impact the frame suffers is absorbed by the specially-designed leg, leaving the rest of the frame undamaged.
Benefits:
- No need to wait for delivery of a new frame
- Leg can be replaced in as little as twenty minutes
- Ease of repair encourages operators to deal with damage as and when it occurs, creating a safer working environment
Comments from our Customers:
Kieron Dunne of Delbanco Meyer: "With such narrow aisles, damage to the racking uprights is unavoidable. The sacrificial leg is a brilliant solution."
Ron Hattersley, Logistics Director at Chatsworth Bathrooms: "The sacrificial leg is an ingenious idea. Having an easily replaceable section in the front upright will enable us to make substantial savings on repair time and ultimately costs."
Paul Blackman, Morphy Richard's Operations Manager: "With such a busy operation, damage to the racking is inevitable, no matter how well trained our reach truck drivers are. Redirack’s sacrificial leg is an excellent accessory, enabling a damaged upright to be replaced in a matter of minutes."
Unique to Redirack, the Sacrificial Leg makes time-consuming rack repair a thing of the past.
