Safeguarding Your Investments: The Importance of Pallet Racking Protection

Buy pallet Racking protection or call us on 0800 368 6846

Pallet racking systems serve as the backbone of efficient storage and inventory management across all industries in the UK. Correctly designed systems allow businesses to maximise their storage space, streamline operations, and optimise inventory control.

We will provide you with the correct guidance during the planning and installation process and advise on pallet racking protection to ensure your warehouse systems work for you in a safe and efficient way and remain a valuable asset and not a health and safety liability!

  1. Ensuring Employee Safety

Employee safety is paramount in any workplace, and warehouses are no exception. Our pallet racking protection plays a pivotal role in safeguarding workers from potential hazards. By installing protective measures like anti collapse mesh, column guards, and rack end barriers, our customers significantly reduce the risk of accidents caused by collisions, falls, and unstable loads. These protective elements act as a barrier between employees and potentially dangerous situations, creating a safer work environment.

  1. Preserving Inventory and Equipment

The inventory stored on pallet racking systems represents a significant investment for any business. Damaged inventory not only results in financial losses but also disrupts supply chains and customer satisfaction. Pallet racking protection helps prevent inventory damage by minimizing the impact of accidental collisions, forklift mishaps, and other incidents. By protecting your racking correctly, we ensure that you safeguard your valuable assets and prevent unnecessary losses.

  1. Minimizing Downtime and Maintenance Costs

Repairs and maintenance can be costly and time-consuming. Damaged pallet racking not only disrupts operations but also incurs expensive replacement parts and labour costs. Pallet racking protection acts as a proactive measure to minimize downtime and maintenance costs. By preventing damage in the first place, businesses can allocate their resources more effectively and ensure smooth warehouse operations.

  1. Compliance with Regulations

As a company you are required to conform to the applicable safety and regulatory standards. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines, legal liabilities, and even closure of operations. Our pallet racking protection helps you meet these compliance requirements by creating a safer working environment that adheres to industry standards and guidelines. By investing in protection measures, you demonstrate your commitment to maintaining a responsible and compliant operation.

  1. Long-Term Cost Savings

While the initial investment in pallet racking protection might seem like an added expense, it ultimately translates into long-term cost savings. By reducing the frequency of repairs, minimizing inventory losses, and avoiding legal complications, businesses can achieve a higher return on investment over time. Additionally, a well-protected racking system extends its lifespan, reducing the need for premature replacement and the associated expenses.

Pallet racking protection is not just an optional add-on to your warehouse operation; it is an essential component of responsible and efficient warehouse management. From ensuring employee safety and safeguarding inventory to minimizing downtime and complying with regulations, the benefits of investing in pallet racking protection are clear and far-reaching. By making a commitment to protect your investments and prioritize safety, you create a more resilient and productive warehouse environment that sets your business up for long-term success.

Completing your used pallet racking installation

used pallet racking

If you know the sizes and quantities of the used pallet racking that you are looking for, you may think that you are ready to order. But there are a number of other important components to consider which will help to make sure that your warehouse racking is safe, secure and fit for purpose.

If your pallets are old and likely to sag, or you just want some re-assurance that they will safely take the weight of whatever you are storing, then pallet support bars are a simple and effective way to help keep your goods secure. We have support bars in stock at the standard depths of 900mm and 1100mm but we can supply for other frame depths on request.

Timber or wire mesh decking can also be used to support your pallets, but these options are also useful to provide a strong shelf for non-palletised items. They are easy to install and stay firmly in place without the risk sagging which may come with chipboard decking. Again, we have standard depths (900mm and 1100mm) in stock but we can supply decking to fit almost any pallet racking configuration.

Column guards are a relatively cheap way to avoid dangerous and expensive damage to your racking uprights from forklift collisions. We prefer steel column guards which bolt to the floor (fixing bolts included) in front of the racking to create a “crumple zone” and reduce the risk of damage. We also have rack end barriers available in sizes to cover standard single and back to back bays of industrial racking.

Small parts, such as fixing bolts, levelling plates (shims) and beam locks are available for all leading pallet racking manufacturers (Dexion, Link 51, Apex, PSS, Redirack and many more). These can be dispatched quickly and delivered by courier.

We deliver to any UK mainland address, so whether you are in Manchester, Glasgow, Kent or Cardiff, we can supply you with the complete pallet racking system you need, quickly and at a great price. Call us now on 0800 612 3210, or send us an enquiry form and one of the team will get back to you quickly.
