What is a Steel Rack Guard ?

The ends of rows of pallet rack are particularly vulnerable to damage from forklift trucks, personnel carriers and other motorized vehicles found in a warehouse. These ends of rows often intersect heavy traffic corridors where equipment is moving at it’s fastest and therefore most dangerous. A forklift turning from the main aisle onto a row can clip the front leg of the rack frame and damage it. This type of damage can result in anything from a small cosmetic ding to a damage that might collapse a bay or even a row of pallet rack. This type of catastrophic failure can cost product damage or even injury to an employee and possibly death.

A simple way to protect those row ends is to install heavy duty, yet low profile, steel rack guard. Lagged to the floor, it receives the impact and protects the rack. These guards can protect a single rack frame or back to back rows. Call the number listed below and discuss your warehouse layout with our experts. You will be glad you did.
