Apex Companies, a warehouse solutions provider, has introduced the new Rack Repair Mobile App, available free for both iOS and Android devices. Rack Repair App is the cornerstone of the Apex Rack Repair & Safety Program and the first mobile app developed to guide warehouse personnel through a complete pallet rack damage and safety inspection.

Two pallet rack audit options are available: “Do It Yourself” using the new app or “Leave it to the PROS”, which relies on the independent audit services of the Apex Professional Rack Audit team. Both options guarantee a comprehensive damage assessment and non-biased repair or replace solution.

Option 1: Do It Yourself

With step-by-step instruction, the Rack Repair App guides users in identifying damaged components and properly capturing all necessary specs for repair or part replacement.

• Identify pallet rack damage
• Determine severity of damage
• Capture all needed specs
• Receive complete damage report & repair/replace recommendations

“We’ve embraced the latest mobile technology to put Apex’s rack audit know-how into our customer’s hands,” says Brian Butler, President of Apex Cos. “Whether you’re using the app on your own or relying on the Apex PROs, we guarantee an independent repair solution,” adds Butler. “This means we don’t exclusively recommend repair kits – we evaluate each location to determine the safest, most cost-effective and long-term solution.”

The app is the cornerstone of the Apex Rack Repair & Safety Program.

Option 2: Leave it to the PROs

For warehouse owners and operators who prefer to hire a professional, Apex has a Professional Rack Audit Team.  All Apex auditors are certified through an education and training program approved by SEIZMIC Engineering, a professional engineering firm specializing in material handling system safety.  Auditors use the Apex Rack Repair App to conduct the rack damage and safety assessments.
