Barriers

Upright protection for the end of your runs.

Why should you use racking upright protection?

Upright protection in any form can help prevent your uprights, posts or columns being damaged by materials handling equipment. Damage to uprights could have serious consequences, including the potential of collapse & injury to personnel! It can also act as a reference point for materials handling & forklift operators so they can easily avoid racking – think hi-vis jacket for your racking!

Barriers are used where physical protection is considered vital to ensure a warehouse’s safe and effective operation protecting racking and pedestrians from any form of impact.

What is racking upright protection?

Pallet racking uprights can be referred to as posts, frames & columns. Upright protection is a form of barrier or defence against accidental damage which could be caused by your materials handling equipment, such as forklifts. There are 2 primary forms of upright protection; end of rack barriers & post protectors such as Rack Armour.
