Pallet truck crash guards

Crash guards for pallet racks

In warehouses, the pace of work is often fast and fast moving forklift trucks or other vehicles loaded with heavy loads can damage the column elements of storage racks. Impact guards protect the column elements at the ends of the shelves and the edges of the drive tunnels from being hit by a forklift truck. In a large warehouse or factory, damage to pallet racking can make the working environment unsafe and cause costly product loss. With impact guards, you protect both people and property. By using guards, you extend the life of your storage racking and improve workplace safety. With the right safety components, you can ensure that the contents of your storage shelves are protected and your staff can work with confidence.

You will find shock-absorbing, elastic polypropylene guards (600 mm) and steel front post guards (400 mm) in our range. The choice of material can prevent the fasteners from coming loose from the floor in the event of an impact, thus reducing the labour costs of reattachment. We offer impact protectors for both single and double sided shelves. Sturdy, steel guards are designed to protect the corners of storage shelving and other furniture. They are also suitable for protecting machinery or partition walls, for example. Fixing accessories are included, but the installation tool for the plastic shelter should be ordered separately. The impact shields are coloured in yellow to make them easier for the user to distinguish. We can also process the products in other colours if required.

At Rastec, you can get impact guards to increase the safety of your warehouse. With a push-pull guard, you can protect machinery, electrical control panels, vertical beams of storage shelves, personnel access or delimit areas, for example. The very strong crash barrier can be bolted to the concrete floor for a strong and secure fixing. For the same application, you can choose a low or high arched crash barrier. The arch and post are made of welded steel tube. They are a handy way of delimiting loading bays and unloading areas or separating different compartments and areas. The yellow colour attracts attention and reduces the risk of accidents in busy storage corridors.

Our range also includes a hot-dip galvanised, steel floor rail to even out loads on asphalt or other materials with lower load-bearing capacity, for example. Ask more about our range!

Impact protectors make the working environment safe

Safety components for pallet trucks are an important part of a safe working environment. Working in warehouses can be dangerous without the right equipment. Collision guards are a simple way to increase safety in industrial, production and warehouse environments, as well as other workplaces where forklifts or other vehicles are used. With the right accessories, you can protect people, machinery and shelving from being hit by a forklift or other vehicle. With a collision guard, you can prevent accidents at work and prevent damage. It makes sense to invest in safety components and even with a small investment you can make your warehouse safe and functional and extend the life of your storage shelves.

Delivery and installation of impact shields

Pallet racking impact shields are delivered to the customer for installation. We offer fast and competitive delivery. If we also supply the customer with larger pallet racking systems, we can also carry out the installation at the customer's premises at an attractive price.

By special arrangement, we can also carry out inspection visits to your company's premises, for example once a year. This will reveal if the pallet racking has been damaged in use. The safety inspection of the shelving includes a report of the findings and, if you wish, monitoring of the progress of the repairs. A safe working environment and its maintenance is extremely important. The eye easily gets used to a familiar environment that is seen almost every day. For this reason, it is easy to miss safety deficiencies and it is worth asking an external observer to come in and make observations. It is often easier for an outsider to notice the deficiencies.

Optimal shelving solutions from Rastec

Impact protection is an effective means of protecting structures, machinery and stored goods. High quality forklift impact guards significantly reduce post damage to pallet racking and extend its service life. It is also worth fitting other safety features, such as rear safety nets. The rear safety net is installed on the rear side of the single-sided pallet rack. If there is a walkway or workstation behind the shelf, the net prevents storage items from falling on the back of the shelf, thus preventing personal injury and material damage. If there is traffic on the side of a double-sided shelf, it is also advisable to install a safety net at the end of the shelf to protect the work area.

Impact protection is always designed and implemented taking into account the specific characteristics of the application. The dimensions are calculated taking into account forklift and pedestrian traffic. We are happy to help you choose the right equipment and create a safe working environment.
