Racking Protection

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guide Warehousing and Storage - A Guide to Health and Safety HSG76 advises that racking exposed to potential impact from lift trucks or other vehicles should be adequately protected. To comply with this guidance, every upright in your racking system should be protected.

At A-Z Storage Systems, we offer a variety of racking protection solutions designed to safeguard your inventory and keep your staff safe.

Our Racking  Protection Supplied and Installed

Failing to safeguard your racking can have dire consequences for your operations, from damaged stock and revenue loss to the worst-case scenario, a racking collapse, leading to injuries and complete warehouse or storeroom shutdown. Ensuring each pallet racking bay is equipped with racking protection is more than a recommendation; it's a crucial step for peace of mind, injury prevention, and stock damage reduction.

Fitting your racking with protection isn't just about safeguarding your investment; it serves multiple critical purposes, including:

• Minimising damage from collisions with warehouse vehicles.

• Enhancing safety for both workers and visitors in your facility.

• Decreasing or even eliminating rack repair costs due to collisions.

• Extending the lifespan of your racking system.

• Preventing downtime caused by damage to the racking system.

• Mitigating the risk of pallet racking system collapse.
