Racking Protection - Upright Protectors
Modern adjustable pallet racking is manufactured to safely support the rated load but offers little in the way of accidental lower leg impact resistance. The RackDefender product protects the racking against such accidental mishaps but there are times when there is a need for a more substantial product.
Under normal circumstances, traditional column guards stand off the racking and are mechanically fixed to the floor in isolation from the racking upright. This arrangement allows the column guard to receive the impact rather than the racking upright but begins to fail after a number of impacts at which stage the floor fixings work loose. When this happens, the column guard fails to protect and itself becomes a danger to the racking.
The flying buttress is a purpose designed column guard which fits around racking uprights that can also be independently protected with the innovative RackDefender. The flying buttress is unique in that it provides a rounded front face together with six bolt floor fixings on the inside of the guard. Not only does it deflect any impact better than most traditional column guards, but the combination of steel and the RackDefender protects the valuable upright better than ever before.
When used with the RackDefender upright protector, any steel column guard is better to cope with most casual impacts. In the event of a full faced impact the steel and the energy absorbing characteristics of the RackDefender combine to protect the racking upright more than ever before.
