A simple innovative approach to pallet racking protection has put the RackDefender firmly at the leading edge of safety in the warehouse.
Modern pallet racking itself is no longer a crude amalgamation of adapted heavy weight pieces of metal arranged to store pallets. Racking is now designed and manufactured to exact tolerances with regard to the cost of material and manufacture
Where this risk has been identified and assessed best practice is to eliminate the exposure of the racking uprights to these impacts through an effective means of protection.
The RackDefender racking upright protector is an innovative flexible protector that fits around the upright. It is manufactured from a rubber compound and is specifically designed to ensure that it has excellent impact dispersal and absorption qualities. Additionally, the material gives the RackDefender the ability to grip on to the racking at any level without any fixings.
All RackDefenders have a resettable impact indicator strip that shows whether the RackDefender has been hit and the severity of the impact. This feature is unique to the RackDefender as it prompts for inspection; an important part of compliance to the guidelines recommended by SEMA (Storage Equipment manufactures Association). Inspection of the upright is easily achieved by simply peeling back the RackDefender. The RackDefender web site (www.rackdefender.com) has a video download showing a severe reach truck impact on a RackDefender-protected traditional pallet rack together with other case study downloads and information sheets
