It takes an average of just 25 minutes to repair a damaged section of racking using the ROS rack repair system. The speed of repair, zero disruption to operations and cost savings are just a few of the reasons why ROS UK are innovation category finalists at Thursdays SHD Logistics Awards.
With the ROS UK method clients enjoy 40% to 80% saving over traditional methods. The patented hydraulic tool combines a precision-formed die and controlled hydraulic pressure, reforming damaged racking uprights back to their original shape and strength – whilst the racks are under full pallet load!
The patented upright repair system is totally unique. It has been tried and tested by organisations for the last decade and verified by independent tests carried out by top research institutes.
The benefits of ROS:
– A process that returns damaged racking uprights to their original form in less than 30 minutes
– Racks can remain loaded whilst repairs are carried out
– Save up to 80% of the cost of replacement, whilst minimising operational disruption
– Over 150,000 upright repairs carried out each year
– Certified to British and European standards
– It’s green – reducer your carbon footprint by repairing rather than replacing uprights
– It is up to 200% more productive, with 25 repairs per day in comparison to only 8 replacements
The ROS method
Step one: A trained team of technicians carry out an initial inspection of the damaged upright. This is to ensure that the level of damage falls within the stringent parameters governing the use of the repair system.
Step two: A custom, precision-engineered die is secured to the damaged upright and controlled hydraulic pressure is applied. The repair process works three dimensionally, to ensure correct re-profiling of the front face, side walls and corners.
Step three: After the repair is completed, the hydraulic pressure is gradually released and the precision-engineered die is retracted. The repaired upright is then revealed, having acquired its original shape and form, with no loss of strength, fit or function.
