Low maintenance High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic barriers only need replacing when frequent, major impact has occurred.
Unlike metal barriers, there is minimal floor damage when impact occurs, saving maintenance costs long term.
Available in a range of striking, high visibility colours that are easily detectable, preventing accidents before they happen.
Fully recyclable and non-toxic. Suitable for use in food production facilities and freezer environments.
Rust and corrosion can seriously weaken racking
Key things to know:
REPAIR: Monitor cases of rust and corrosion, replacing all components that pose a safety risk.
PREVENT: Store components inside and away from moisture. Choose racking made from galvanised or stainless steel to slow down any corrosion.
All racking is required to have a Safe Working Load Sign
Key things to know:
REPAIR: Replace damaged Weight Load Signs or order replacement signs if your storage system has been altered since installation. Need help calculating your safe weight load? We can help.
PREVENT: Ensure all aisles of racking have Weight Load Signs to avoid beams becoming overloaded and unsafe.
Beam end connectors are prone to knocks and tears
Key things to know:
REPAIR: Damaged beam end connectors often result in a replacement of the entire beam to preserve the safety of the racking system.
PREVENT: Regular inspections of the system, professional repairs, and skilled operators can all help reduce the risk of beam end connector damage.
Beams can be hit when loading pallets and MHE turning in aisles
Key things to know:
REPAIR: Replace damaged beams above a category green risk to ensure your racking is safe and operational.
PREVENT: Ensure the correct beam is being used for your storage needs and regular training is given to operators to reduce the number of beam impacts.
Bracing and frames can be hit by moving pallets or MHE.
Key things to know:
REPAIR: Replace or repair damaged bracing as soon as is required of the SEMA code of practice.
PREVENT: Although sometimes unavoidable, protecting racking frames with impact protection barriers can help reduce how close MHE can get to the racking. Training operators on careful and accurate placement of pallets can also help prevent damage.
Anti-Collapse Mesh prevents accidents from falling objects
Key things to know:
REPAIR: Request anti-collapse mesh to be installed on any existing racking systems that require a barrier between operatives and stored items.
PREVENT: Add anti-collapse mesh to racking when installed to ensure the racking is safe before use.
Missing bolts and locking pins can result in dislodged components
Key things to know:
REPAIR: Order replacement bolts and safety locks. Replace any damaged beams that have become dislodged and require repair.
PREVENT: Regular inspections should include checking for any missing bolts / locks, as well as any dislodgement of beams. Hold stock of safety locks to replace any missing components.
Base plates are essential components for the safety of racking
Key things to know:
REPAIR: Damaged base plates should be repaired or replaced as soon as they pose a safety risk.
PREVENT: Ensure all base plates are secured to an unbroken floor with at least 1 bolt. Protect MHE from hitting uprights and base plates with racking protection guards.
Racking front and rear uprights are often impacted by MHE.
Key things to know:
REPAIR: It’s advised that damaged racking uprights are replaced rather than repaired to ensure safety compliance.
PREVENT: Most damage occurs within the first 600mm of the upright. Protect racking uprights from being damaged in the first place. Protection guards deflect and absorb impact before it can cause damage to the upright.

We can dismantle and remove all unwanted racking equipment from customer sites.
Materials are removed from site with limited disruption to customer operations.
We inspect all materials, disposing of anything that is beyond repair in an environmentally friendly way.
An on-site assessment of existing racking layout is carried out.
A new layout proposal is supplied with CAD drawings.
Layouts are designed to utilise the space available as efficiently as possible.
We offer an initial on-site survey to assess whether the site can safely accommodate the proposed new storage systems.
A full CAD drawing is supplied alongside an installation brief for approval.
A quote is submitted upon design approval with a schedule of works.
