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.
