Warehouse Safety: The Value of Aisle and Rack Protectors

Columns and other warehouse structures like uprights or racks are often hit by forklifts, specially in busy areas and tight corners. This increases the chance of damage, worker injuries, expensive repairs, and downtime. Column and rack guards protect these structures from forklift hits and help guide drivers to safer paths. In warehouses with a lot of forklift traffic, it's important to consider using pallet rack protectors as well. Installing column protectors or rack guards creates a barrier that reduces the risk of collisions, providing reliable protection from accidental impacts.

There are different options available for both column and pallet rack protection.

  • Aisle Guards:

    These guards effectively prevent costly damage to steel columns, pipes, and tubing through wrap-around protection. Securely attached to either a base or the floor, they absorb forklift impacts before any consequential damage occurs.

  • Column Protectors:

    Post protectors serve as a simple and cost-effective method to minimize forklift damage to rack frames. They absorb impacts from the forklift, effectively safeguarding rack structures.

  • End-of-Aisle Guards:

    These products provide an additional layer of protection for pallet racks. End-of-aisle guards and barrier systems offer defense against accidents involving forklift traffic.

The investment in column and pallet rack protectors is a proactive measure that pays dividends in terms of warehouse safety, operational efficiency, and cost savings. By implementing these protective measures, businesses can mitigate the risks associated with forklift impacts, reduce the likelihood of structural damage, and safeguard their workforce from potential injuries.
