Necessary Racking Accessories for Safety Purposes
Safety has to be of the highest priority when it comes to Racking, the likes of end frame barriers help to prevent damage as your frames are the most vulnerable to accidental damage from vehicles in your warehouse. Equipment like forklifts can cause a surprising amount of damage at reduced speeds. Heavy duty barriers can be installed to prevent this equipment from getting to close and causing damage. Column guards are also a brilliant way of preventing damage to your upright columns, if they were damaged it would cause the racking to destabilise and make it unsafe. Finally pallet supports are used when there is especially heavy loads going on Pallet Racking to provide support. The pallet supports spread the load and prevent smaller pallets from becoming dislodged in the racking. Dont forget here at Azil we can supply all of the above.
