Every upright we repair is an upright that never gets scrapped, remelted, and remade. Our kits are manufactured from recycled steel — so the repair path saves money and steel at the same time. Run your own numbers below.
A replacement upright is new steel at this week's mill price. A RACKCYCLE repair kit is a fraction of the material — made from recycled steel — which is a big part of why repair runs up to 80% less than replacement, and why that gap widens when steel climbs.

Enter your project. Every repaired upright keeps a full upright in service — steel that never has to be scrapped and remade.
Estimates use industry-average steelmaking intensities (worldsteel) and EPA greenhouse-gas equivalencies. Each installed kit also uses ~35 lbs of recycled steel instead of new. Ask for project-specific figures with your inspection report.
Repair-first maintenance is one of the few safety programs that also reads as an ESG win. Every inspection report we deliver can include the diverted-steel and CO2e figures for the recommended repairs — documentation your sustainability team can use as-is. Behind us, American Material Handling reconditions and recycles 50,000+ tons of steel a year.
