Rack load capacity inspection

Rack load capacity inspection

Rack load capacity inspection

(OP)
I have some sheet metal stamping die racks. Some of them are pretty old and have no labeling or marking of their load capacity. I would like to find a company or licensed PE to evaluate the racks and provide a load rating. The only thing I've found googling are companies that want to sell racks. Does anyone have a recommendation of any companies that do this?

RE: Rack load capacity inspection

I've experienced the same problem. Unless you have a lot of racks it is probably cheaper to buy new ones. Otherwise, all you can do is search for a P.E. who is willing to take on your project. Or you can do as I did and move your company to another state.

RE: Rack load capacity inspection

Post a complete set of pictures typically representing a die rack, then perhaps you'll get some proposal
