What are the protective devices for selective pallet racking?

Selective pallet racking is used to store unitized palletized goods with aisle stacker cranes and other storage and transport machinery for operation. High-level racking is mostly of monolithic construction, generally consisting of sections of welded racking pieces (with pallets), linked by horizontal and vertical ties as well as crossbeams and other components. Forklift trucks and stacker cranes present a risk of collision if they are not operated correctly. Slightly inadvertent avoidance maneuvers with other vehicles or passers-by can result in collisions with selective pallet racking. Clearly marked footpaths and lanes can prevent collisions. In an emergency, various safety components can prevent selective pallet racking from sustaining serious damage or even collapsing, causing serious injury. This is why the installation of safety components is so necessary. This is followed by a description of the protective devices for selective pallet racking.

Penetration protectors

Penetrating protectors can be mounted at pallet height and screwed securely to the frame. Rear wall grilles can also be fixed to the back of the shelves. Rear wall grilles and push-through guards can also be used together for added safety and should be installed on every shelving system.

Plunger protection system

The purpose of a plunger protection system is to prevent major damage in the event of a collision with a forklift truck. Plunger protection can usually survive a small collision without damage but is often damaged in a strong impact. However, major damage to racks and goods as well as serious injury can be avoided by a collision caused by a protective device before contact with selective pallet racking.

Collision protection devices

A U-bracket protector is installed on the floor next to the racking posts. The corner protector is also fixed on the floor. The end protection wall consists of two corners and a flat wall screwed to them for the end face of the rack. The post protector is mounted directly on the shelf post and is fitted with a rubber bumper to absorb at least part of the impact.

Anti-rollover protection

This elevation is attached to the side ends of the selective pallet racking and is bolted to the shelf posts. It prevents individual components from tipping sideways. The end post-frame extension can be easily combined with all other safety components. Normally, pallets are placed directly on the columns of this type of racking system. However, for selective pallet racking, complete racks can also be used to store other goods. Particleboard, grids, or steel sheets are available. Particleboard and grating can be placed on top or evenly between the uprights.
