Whether you have new pallet racking or existing warehouse storage, guarding your equipment against damage should be a priority. Collisions can be costly to your bottom line in repairs, downtime and product loss. And, worse yet, a damaged or collapsed rack can cost your company a fortune in lawsuits and liabilities. Adding guard pallet racks with post protectors to areas where forklift traffic is high can help to protect your investment and reduce the chance of a costly collision.

What are the most important considerations with pallet racking?

Metal column guards are a simple and cost effective solution for protecting your warehouse rack frame from forklift collisions. These metal warehouse safety equipment deflectors either strap or snap around the upright frame and are anchored to the concrete floor. They transfer the impact of a collision to the concrete or the pallet racking itself and thus help prevent expensive damage or collapses.

Steel outrigger pallet racking column protectors prevent forklift damage to the lower portion of your warehouse storage system where over 85% of all damage occurs. These floor mounted column protectors are made from 1/4″ steel and have a bull nose design to deflect impacts. They are easily adjustable in 2″ increments and are available in heights of 12″, 18″ and 24″. They bolt directly to the upright without the need for a base plate.
