Many businesses only consider investing in Pallet Racking Protection and Pedestrian Safety Barriers after an incident occurs. Avoiding the initial expense can lead to higher costs down the line due to repairs, absent employees, and downtime caused by damaged racking.

In today’s dynamic warehouse environments, safeguarding both staff and stored items is essential. Efficient warehouse management involves not just optimising space but also protecting all aspects of the operation against potential risks.

This highlights the importance of advanced racking protection systems. QTS now offers a new line of Racking Protection products designed to enhance safety and efficiency in warehouses. This range includes End of Aisle Rack Protectors, Pallet Racking Upright Protectors, and Rack Deflectors, all available at competitive prices.

The Need for Advanced Pallet Racking Protection & Pedestrian Safety Barriers

Warehouses are active areas where accidents can occur frequently, especially when forklifts and other heavy machinery are used. A single error can cause significant damage to both racking systems and the valuable inventory they hold. More importantly, it can put employees at risk of injury.

Installing robust rack protection is more than just compliance with safety regulations. It’s about fostering a safety-focused culture. This approach helps protect both people and assets.

Features of QTS’s Racking Protection Range

End of Aisle Rack Protectors

End-of-Aisle Rack Protectors are crucial for maintaining a safe and efficient warehouse environment. Their sturdy and highly visible design ensures that structural elements are safeguarded, risks are minimised, and operational flow is maintained. These protectors are essential safety features for any facility that relies on racking systems for storage and inventory management.

  • Protection of Structural Integrity: Guards the racking system against impacts that can compromise its stability and safety.
  • Inventory Safety: Minimises the risk of stock damage from accidental impacts, preserving valuable inventory.
  • Enhanced Safety: Reduces the risk of accidents by providing a clear visual and physical barrier at the end of racking aisles to avoid upright damage.
  • Cost Efficiency: Lowers repair costs and operational expenses by preventing damage before it occurs.
  • Operational Continuity: Reduces downtime related to repairs and accidents, maintaining smoother, more efficient warehouse operations.

Pallet Racking Upright Protectors

Pallet Racking Upright Protectors are essential for maintaining the safety and efficiency of warehouse and storage operations. Their robust design and strategic installation provide a critical defence against the daily wear and tear of industrial activities, ensuring that both personnel and products are protected. These protectors are a wise investment for any business looking to enhance the longevity and safety of their storage solutions.

  • Structural Protection: Shields racking uprights from impacts that can cause structural damage or collapse.
  • Inventory Safety: Minimises the risk of damage to stored goods, safeguarding inventory from accidents.
  • Enhanced Safety: Increases overall safety in the warehouse by reducing the risk of racking system failures.
  • Cost Efficiency: Reduces the need for costly repairs and replacements of racking components, providing long-term savings.
  • Uninterrupted operations: Helps maintain smooth operations by minimising downtime related to damaged storage systems.

Rack Deflectors

Rack Deflectors are critical safety accessories designed to protect the structural integrity of warehouse racking systems. These compact protectors are strategically fitted to the front of racking uprights, providing robust protection against impacts from forklifts, pallet jacks, and other material handling equipment. Constructed from materials with high impact-absorbing properties, Rack Deflectors minimise the risk of damage, ensuring the longevity and safety of your storage solutions.

  • Enhanced Protection: Reduces the likelihood of damage to racking systems, thereby preserving the integrity and stability of storage installations.
  • Cost Savings: Prevents costly repairs and replacements of racking components by mitigating the effects of collisions.
  • Operational Efficiency: The unobtrusive design does not compromise the storage capacity or operational space, maintaining efficiency in warehouse operations.
  • Safety Improvement: Increases overall warehouse safety by reducing the likelihood of accidents caused by damaged racking

Pedestrian Safety Barriers

Pedestrian Safety Barriers are designed to enhance safety in warehouses and industrial areas. They separate pedestrian walkways from areas where vehicles operate. The barriers create a physical barrier between pedestrians and vehicles helping to prevent accidents and injuries.

These barriers are available in single or double-rail designs and are made from collision-absorbing materials that are brightly coloured for optimal visibility. Customisable to fit any warehouse layout, they play a crucial role in minimising the risk of accidents and managing traffic flow within dynamic environments.

  • Enhanced Pedestrian Safety: Significantly reduces the risk of accidents involving pedestrians and moving vehicles within the facility.
  • Accident Prevention: Acts as a physical and visual barrier, preventing collisions and potential injuries.
  • Traffic Management: Helps organise the flow of human and mechanical traffic, improving operational efficiency and safety.
  • Adaptability: Easily integrated into existing safety systems, providing flexibility in layout changes and expansions
