I'd slip a close-fitting sleeve over the break. Maybe a 6" long piece of hollow square section alloy (if it's square) or tubing if it's round, fixed in place with an epoxy adhesive or even self-tappers to prevent it from moving along the rail.One of the cross members on my elevating bike rack snapped.
Good idea, I was thinking welding some plates along each side might do it, going to the effort of sleeving the whole thing, i could probably put the same effort into replacing the broken beam. It's just 30mm square aluminium tube. prob 2mm thickness.I'd slip a close-fitting sleeve over the break.

I doubt that butt welding the broken ends without some reinforcement would last very long.
