Aisle End Barriers

Measure Twice - Cut Once

This week an example of the old adage that rings true today. While we try to supply drawings on all products, for clarity of our offerings, sometimes the littlest things can mess with your day. There are pallet racks constructed with different base plates for various reasons, seismic for stability reasons, bolt together designs for rack with varying capacity utilizing similar components that feature different width and/or depth base plates and probably others I haven't contemplated. Look closely to the configuration on the floor where your column protector will rest. Not all pallet racks are 3" dead even and therefore universal.

Oversized Baseplate Protectors

Rack uprights generally have oversized footplates to withstand shock waves associated with earthquakes.

We can adapt mant of our rack protectors to fit around these baseplates. Call with your dimensions & quantities for a special quote.

Pallet Rack Protector Height

What height should I buy? Good question. What is likely to cause the damage? A load, a pallet truck, the counterweight of a forklift, the forklift forks, or something else.  If operators are driving safely then the loads and forks are close to the floor; indoor counterbalanced forklifts, straddle lifts, and reach trucks have low ground clearances typically 4" or less. Many loads today are stacked beyond the confines of the pallet, so perhaps the product being moved becomes the contact point. If it's tailswing from the forklift, you need to invest in more operator training! There's not much thaty withstand pounding from those beasts. Every operation is different, a walk thru the warehouse will likely point to your solution.
