5 Ways to Protect Pallet Racking from Forklift Impact

Pallet racking damage is expensive and dangerous. These five measures will protect your racking and extend its life.

1. Rack leg protectors

Install column protectors on every upright that faces traffic.

2. End-of-aisle guards

Protect the ends of racking runs where most impacts occur.

3. Floor marking

Clearly mark traffic lanes and keep forklifts away from racking.

4. Bollards

Use bollards around high-risk corners and doorways.

5. Regular inspection

Inspect racking for damage and replace protection as needed.
