Case Study: 597 XL Goliath™ 125 Units Installed on XHD Redirack System
When a major logistics distribution centre in Lowestoft needed a long-term solution for damaged XHD pallet racking uprights – and OEM replacement parts proved scarce, expensive to import, and subject to extended lead times – the answer was clear: Goliath™. This installation represents the single largest deployment of the Goliath™ Upright Racking Repair Kit completed to date in the UK and EU – 597 units of the newly launched XL Goliath™ 125, engineered specifically for extra-heavy-duty (XHD) racking systems.
The Problem
XHD Redirack Uprights becoming redundant
What They Tried
Sourcing replacement uprights, with no viable solution.
The Solution: Goliath™
– 597 Goliath™ Units Installed
– XHD Racking Classification
– XL 125 Goliath™ Product
Redirack is a robust and well-regarded heavy-duty pallet racking system, and for good reason – it is built to handle demanding warehouse environments. However, like many legacy racking systems still in active use across UK warehouses, sourcing like-for-like compatible replacement uprights presents a significant operational problem:
● Replacement parts are scarce in the UK market
● Extended lead times mean damaged uprights stay out of service for weeks or months
● Downtime directly impacts throughput, storage capacity, and operational efficiency
For a high-volume logistics distribution centre processing large quantities of goods daily, even a handful of condemned uprights represents a measurable loss of capacity. Across 597 damaged uprights, the scale of disruption – and the cost of conventional replacement – would have been substantial.
“Replacing individual uprights within a legacy XHD racking system isn’t simply a matter of ordering parts. The procurement lead times, import costs, and operational downtime can dwarf the cost of the steel itself. There had to be a better way.”
