To extend the life of the racking units and guarantee their quality, it is important to invest in sufficient protection against damage, a/o due to the use of forklift trucks.
Rack protection, a must when safety is the priority
Installing a safe warehouse starts with determining the possible risks. In a warehouse, there is a lot of activity. Products are loaded and unloaded, forklift trucks and cherry pickers are driving around, existing warehouse installations are extended and adapted. Safety is and remains the most important aspect. The nature of the goods stored can vary greatly and they must be kept in their place. It is unavoidable that the racks themselves are also damaged during use. Moreover, a collision can create an unsafe situation because it threatens the stability of the racks. To limit damage to a minimum, protective equipment of different types is installed. Here is a list of the main ones.
Corner protection
Upright protection
Frame protection
Backstop
Pallet gate
Wire netting and grids
Grid walls
Synthetic polymer rack guards
Depending on the specific risk, the protections can be adapted and tailormade.
