General Converting Incorporated, a Bolingbrook Illinois company specializing in the design and manufacture of custom packaging and point-of-purchase displays, reached out to RMH Systems for help in improving the storage for their printing dies.  By developing an innovative solution that saved GCI thousands of dollars over the next best solution, RMH became their vendor of choice for storage solutions.

A handful of months and an equal number of storage solutions later, Jim Scott at GCI mentioned that he had a couple of rack components that were damaged.  Upon inspection, the RMH PM identified seven pieces of racking that had come to harm, as shown here:

Replacing damaged uprights due to damage is a complicated process that involves business interruption from unloading the rack and disassembling it so that the frame can be replaced.  In this instance, we recommended a rack repair solution to save time, and money and avoid business interruption.

First, the floor level and a single beam level of storage were removed, permitting us to use a custom jack to provide support for the frame and the rest of the beam levels and material, like this:

With the jack in place, the damaged section of the upright was removed:

Then the frame repair kit was installed to replace the removed section of the upright:

Repeat six more times over the next three hours and the damaged frames ended up stronger than the original and completely RMI compliant.

Jim Scott had this to say when the project was complete:  “This was a very easy process, RMH came out and went through all the repair areas with the repair team to make sure everything went smooth.”
