Rack Protection

Rack Protection Products:-

Rack protection products are designed to minimize the cost of damaged racking, shelving, mezzanines and any other structure that requires it’s frame to be protected from forklift trucks and any other moving objects within the area.

These products are designed to absorb the impact of collisions, protecting your racking, shelving, mezzanines ect and the products stored on them from damage.

Upright Guards/Column Guards:-

Warehouse rack protectors are usually installed on the sides or ends of the racks, and can be made from a variety of materials, such as steel or plastic. Some common types of warehouse rack protectors include column guards, guard rails, and end-of-aisle protectors. These devices help to ensure the safety and integrity of the shelving/racking/mezzanine.

Rack End Protection Barriers:-

Rack end protection barriers are required by law and HSE guidelines to be fitted at the end of each frame to ensure the protection and integrity of Pallet Racking within the warehouse. Rack end barriers are a visible warning to forklift trucks to stay within the aisle lane and protect front face of racking frames so as forklift truck does not cut corner and strike racking.

Guide Rail:-

Guide Rail Systems are used to control forklift truck movement in racking environments whilst maximizing the travel speed. Guide Rail is a perfect solution for narrow aisles where space is at a premium and gangway widths need to be kept to a minimum. Guide Rail Systems work in perfect harmony with cantilever , heavy-duty racking or any standard pallet racking system

Anti-Collapse Mesh:-

Anti-collapse mesh is made up of individual panels bolted together to form a mesh wall behind pallet racking to ensure aisles and walkways are safe areas should a forklift strike the racking and force a product fall. Mesh panels are held in place with stand-off brackets, this ensures the pallet on the rack has enough entry space to sit on the racking beams safely.

EU or UK Standards That Affect Warehouse Racking Protection.

EU and UK standards that can affect warehouse racking protectors. In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has established guidelines for the design, installation, and maintenance of racking systems in warehouses and other storage facilities. These guidelines are designed to ensure that racking systems are safe and secure and can withstand the weight and forces applied to them.

In the EU, the Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures is a set of standards that applies to the design of steel structures, including racking systems. These standards cover a wide range of issues, including material properties, structural analysis, and design recommendations. It's important for manufacturers of warehouse racking protectors to be familiar with these standards and to ensure that their products meet the requirements set forth in them.
