SAFETY: PALLET RACK DOORS VS. PALLET RACK NETTING
Companies want to keep their employees and products safe. Sometimes a company can learn the hard way a cheaper alternative to safety isn’t always the best solution. Installing a mesh netting solution along the pallet rack uprights isn’t always the best solution for employees and the products. Pallet Rack doors may be the answer you need.
A normal workday in a warehouse often means an employee will be adding pallets to a warehouse rack. Sometimes a pallet can be pushed too far and it is tipped off the rear beam. Security netting can hold the pallet for a short time, but sometimes the weight of the pallet and the force put on the mesh netting will cause it to be stretched too far. A pallet can land on anything behind the row of pallet rack uprights. It can also possibly land on employees. An accident could be very costly.
If you have a variety of pallet rack heights and products, Warehouse Rack Safety Panels is the solution to prevent an incident with netting breaking from happening in the future.
Mesh panels are constructed of 10-gauge or heavier-duty 6-gauge wire welded in a 2” square mesh pattern and welded securely into a 1-1/4” x 1/8” thick full angle frame—providing the ultimate strength and durability. They attach to the existing pallet rack uprights with either the patent-pending Gripper Bracket or the innovative L-shaped or Sleeve brackets.
The Grrripper Bracket (patent-pending) is the world’s first and only drop-in bracket. The pin drops into a tear-drop rack upright and it won’t disengage upon impact when it’s installed correctly. The Gripper Bracket makes installation easy saving on time and money.
The Warehouse Rack Safety Guarding Panels are preferred over most nylon mesh netting. The wire mesh panels provide a definite stop to keep pallet loads or stray boxes from falling into pedestrian aisleways, like what happened to this customer.
Unlike plastic netting or nylon mesh netting—which are flexible by nature, The welded wire mesh design, won’t allow sharp objects to damage or cut through the wire providing a more secure guarding option.

And, your employees will feel safer knowing the panels are there to protect them. Pallet Rack doors will keep your employees safe. Contact us today to improve the safety of your warehouse.
