During warehouse business operations, it goes without saying that pallet racking works hard and takes a beating. Therefore it’s important to have proper protection to extend its lifespan and also keep staff safe from potential accidents.

With over 25 years experience in the industry providing new and second-hand pallet racking solutions to a number of clients across the UK, we know the best protection products you need to get the best out of your system.

Here are some recommendations to enhance your storage system.

Racking Reinforcements

Racking reinforcements are designed to do exactly that. The purpose is to reinforce your racking on uprights to provide extra bracing and stability. 

By adding these to your pallet racking, it will improve the overall strength of the structure and reduce the chance of your racking buckling due to impact. This is especially important when you consider how much damage forklift trucks can cause to racking over time.

If you are considering or in the process of installing an entirely new pallet racking system, racking reinforcements can be added during production to save time if this is something you would like your system to feature.

Post Protectors

When it comes to protecting your pallet racking, post protectors are a must-have. Unprotected posts are more likely to be vulnerable to racking failure and over time repeated impact can cause wear and tear.

Typically bolted to the floor, post protectors are an inexpensive way to save yourself money in the long run on pallet racking damages and repairs. 

Guide Rails

Guide rails are designed to keep operating forklift trucks at a safe distance from your pallet racking. To prevent accidents and impact, guide rails are laid on the floor around the racking to provide a buffer.

They can be used for a wide range of areas but are particularly good for pallet racking protection.

End of Aisle Protectors

Another essential when it comes to pallet racking protection, this product is particularly good because the end of an aisle is typically a high traffic area during operations.

End of aisle protectors are usually bolted to the floor to provide extra security and will save you money as opposed to repairing an entire rack.

Guard Rails

A taller option than guide rails, guard rails have the ability to provide even more protection for your racking system. They are an inexpensive, sturdy, and durable option to provide a protection barrier than other solutions available.
