Automotive Rack Repair & Refurbishment
Get your racks back in service, fast.
Racks take a beating in daily shipping, forklift damage, normal wear, changing programs. We handle everything from minor dunnage replacement to complete structural rebuilds, on-site or off-site, and get equipment back in service for less than the cost of buying new.
How repair works
1
Tell us about your racks. Type, quantity, what needs fixing, location, photos.
2
We assess and quote on-site or from your photos and details.
3
You choose on-site or off-site repair based on scope and downtime.
4
We repair and test and help coordinate the whole way.
Tell us about your racks
Share the rack type, quantity, and what needs fixing, and upload photos or drawings if you have them. We will get an estimate and timeline back to you and start the conversation.
Quick process: Tell us about your racks → Get an estimate → On-site or off-site repair → Tested and back in service.
On-site and off-site repair options
Pick the approach that fits your downtime, budget, and how far along your program is. We flex to your operation.
On-site repair programs
Lighter-duty repairs that do not need heavy fabrication or paint. Our teams show up with parts and can replace, cut, bend, and weld your racks back into shape.
- Zero transportation costs, no shipping racks out
- Immediate assessment, diagnosed and quoted on the spot
- Minimal downtime, done during scheduled maintenance windows
- Fleet visibility, all equipment condition in one report
One-time repairs
Got a backlog, or far enough into a program’s lifecycle that a single repair pass is the smart move? Our mobile teams handle one-off repairs at your facility.
- Mobile welding equipment for metal repairs
- Common parts inventory on service vehicles
- Custom fabrication available when planned ahead
- Donor-rack solutions to keep production running
Scheduled maintenance programs
Prevent failures with regular maintenance visits that catch problems early.
- Quarterly inspections that find problems before downtime
- Preventive repairs that replace wear items before failure
- Fleet condition reporting to plan replacements
- Bulk parts ordering that lowers per-unit repair cost
Off-site refurbishment
For extensively damaged or heavily worn racks, full off-site refurbishment delivers like-new performance.
- Full inspection, every component evaluated and tested
- Structural repairs, welding, reinforcement, frame straightening
- Complete repainting, sandblast, primer, and powder coat
- Load testing where the program calls for it
Repair and replacement capabilities
Tube steel repair & replacement
Bent frames often need heat treatment, specialized equipment, and experience to bring back to spec. We straighten, reinforce, and replace as needed.
Caster wheels & hardware
Rolling equipment takes constant abuse and needs regular attention. We replace with the same parts or upgrade for better performance.
Dunnage & protective materials
Interior components that protect parts during shipping wear out and need periodic replacement, including foam, urethane, plastic, rubber, and wood.
Hardware & fasteners
Small components make a big difference in rack performance. We stock standard and material-handling-specific hardware.
Repainting & protective coatings
From surface prep to powder coating, liquid paint for touch-ups, and protective treatments like polyurea spray coatings.
Custom dunnage design
New parts often need new inserts and separators. We handle part analysis, material selection, prototyping, and production tooling for a consistent fit.
Reworking, modifications, and custom dunnage
Changing a part does not have to mean buying all new racks. Often we can modify what you already own.
Program reworking & modifications
When parts programs change, existing racks can often be modified instead of replaced.
Dimensional changes:
- Height adjustments for taller or shorter parts
- Width and depth changes for size and packaging variations
- Load-rating review after changes
Configuration updates:
- Compartment resizing for different part counts
- Separator repositioning for new arrangements
- Access and securement updates for loading and tie-down
Custom dunnage design & manufacturing
New parts often need new protective inserts and separators, engineered to fit.
Design process:
- Part analysis to identify protection requirements
- Material selection based on part characteristics
- Prototype development, testing, and production tooling
Manufacturing capabilities:
- CNC foam cutting for precise fit
- Thermoforming for complex plastic shapes
- Water jet cutting for metal separators
- 3D printing for prototype development
Testing and documentation
Repairs are only worth it if the rack is safe and the records hold up. We verify both.
Repairs are checked and documented
Racks are checked as they are repaired, and the work is documented.
- Weld quality assessment
- Coating coverage verification
- Dimensional checks against original specs
- Hardware function testing on all moving components
What you get back
Documentation travels with the work, so your quality and safety records stay clean.
- Repair work orders with detailed scope and procedures
- Material documentation for replacement components, on request
- Test results with photos and measurements
Fleet management programs
We help automotive manufacturers and suppliers optimize their entire rack fleet, not just fix one-offs.
Inventory management
- Asset tracking
- Condition monitoring through regular inspections
- Repair scheduling based on usage patterns
- Replacement planning for end-of-life equipment
Cost control
- Repair vs. replace analysis for each rack
- Budget planning with predictable maintenance costs
Performance optimization
- Usage analysis to find improvement opportunities
- Standardization programs to reduce parts inventory
- Upgrade recommendations for better performance
- Training programs for proper handling and maintenance
