Rack protection
Deploy steel or polymer frame guards on pallet rack uprights up to at least 400 mm height.
B2B purchase intent
Warehouse safety and logistics infrastructure protection
Rack protection, traffic segregation, and appropriate safety equipment reduce collisions and protect warehouse assets. This page guides procurement of column guards, safety barriers, and industrial trucks.
B2B Procurement Context
- Column protectors for racking frames are required by DIN EN 15635 to prevent structural failures.
- Traffic planning must separate forklift routes from pedestrian walkways through physical barriers.
- High-strength steel and warning colors (yellow/black) for guards guarantee long-term durability and visibility.
Decision Guidance
Traffic segregation
Use safety guardrails and energy-absorbing barriers to physically separate forklift paths from pedestrians.
Safe material handling
Select forklifts with alert systems (blue spot, warning sensors) and gate safety systems.

Procurement FAQ
What are the minimum requirements for rack upright guards?
According to European standards, protectors must guard the frame up to a height of at least 400 mm and be anchored independently to the floor.
Are polymer safety barriers better than steel ones?
Polymer barriers absorb impact energy and return to their original shape, protecting concrete floor anchors from tearing, whereas steel barriers must be replaced after severe impact.
How do you protect elevated mezzanine edges?
Install 1.1 m high handrails with toe boards and a system safety pallet gate.
