What type of damage can typically be restored by installing an insert?

Installing an insert is typically used to address damage that cannot be repaired by other means. This process involves placing a new piece or section into the original structure to restore its functionality and integrity. Inserts are particularly effective when the damage has compromised the container to a level where conventional repairs, such as welding or patching, would not be effective or permissible under industry standards.

In contrast, damage that can be fixed with minimal reshaping usually allows for a straightforward repair without the need for an insert. Significant structural weaknesses that require complete replacement indicate that the damage is too extensive for any kind of insert to be effective, necessitating a more comprehensive approach. Lastly, while dents in non-structural panels may be repaired through various means, they often do not require the installation of an insert, as these repairs can typically be handled through bodywork or similar methods. Thus, the concept of using an insert applies primarily to those situations where the damage is beyond conventional repair options.
