Protection of the racking against collision from a forklift truck is important. The expected lifetime will be extended and repairs limited. A number of basic protectors are available and for specific applications dedicated protectors have been developed, for example fall through protectors.
Push through protectors
Push through protectors can be used in single and double entry racks. They are often used to protect the wall of the building, for instance in cold-stores, or to guarantee the space between the pallets in double racks for the fire protection system. The stop beam can also be used to fix cladding on the back of the racking.
