It cannot be altered casually; it is considered special equipment, and any modifications require supervision and inspection during the repair process. As for whether it is possible to weld the steel plate back together, it is recommended that you consult the manufacturer.
It’s not allowed. New equipment must be reported to the Special Equipment Inspection Institute, and repairs also require prior notification
This file needs to match the equipment; otherwise, it’s difficult to complete the registration
Affixing patch plates is not allowed; only repair welding is permitted. For products that have been inspected and released according to regulations, if the repair required constitutes a major repair under the relevant procedures, it should be handled through consultation with the manufacturing unit.
Have someone from the manufacturing factory come to provide on-site service; it’s possible that the issue can be resolved using automotive bodywork techniques.
Welding a steel plate certainly can’t be done carelessly. It’s better to have someone from the manufacturing factory handle this. Just because there is a dent doesn’t necessarily mean the strength is compromised, but it’s a bit irresponsible for the manufacturer to release equipment in such condition
