An Overview of Pallet Racking Protectors
As referenced by their name, pallet racking protectors are a product that is designed to protect all kinds of pallet racking systems. While there are several types of pallet racking protectors available, pallet rack leg protectors are the most commonly used. These units are installed at the base of pallet racking system legs to help protect the system from forklift impacts or collisions from other types of equipment. When an upright protector is installed, this unit will absorb the impact and keep the racking behind it safe, drastically reducing the chance of damage or a collapse. Pallet racking protectors are commonly used in warehouses, shops, factories, truck terminals, and the automotive industry.
Benefits of Pallet Racking Protectors
Pallet racking protectors offer the following benefits for facilities of all sizes:
Enhanced Employee Safety
Accidental collisions between material handling equipment and racking systems can happen even if operators are highly experienced. By installing upright protectors throughout your facility, you can ensure that your employees remain safe even if they accidentally collide with a racking system. Pallet racking uprights are also highly visible from any angle. This means that they simultaneously help to protect against collisions while reducing the chance of a collision happening in the first place.
Reduced Racking Wear and Damage
If an accidental collision between a forklift and a pallet racking system occurs, this can cause the system to collapse. Pallet rack protectors are specifically designed to help prevent pallet rack uprights from being damaged by forklifts and other material handling equipment by deflecting even the strongest of impacts. This helps to keep your racking systems in good condition, ensuring optimal performance and safety for years to come.
Easy to Install
Pallet rack protectors come equipped with a baseplate that has three anchor holes. This allows for easy installation on nearly any type of existing pallet racking system, allowing you to quickly install multiple units and significantly enhance the safety of your facility.
