Rack impact protection from ROS
Rack impact protection provides far more protection than one might initially assume. Naturally, its primary function is to protect the rack itself. This is partly because shelf impact protection is always equipped with a bright yellow signal color. This increased visibility allows the rack impact protection to be noticed before a potential collision occurs, and often, this alone can prevent the collision from happening. This means that rack protection against collisions prevents many possible damages.
However, rack impact protection also provides protection when a collision cannot be avoided. It helps to prevent significant damage to vehicles and protects the goods stored on the shelves.
In the case of an unavoidable collision, rack impact protection reduces the severity of the impact, which often prevents the goods from falling out or getting damaged. It also significantly reduces damage to vehicles, thereby minimizing repair costs and downtime.
Furthermore, rack impact protection also enhances personnel safety. The safety and protection of staff are always a priority in the company.
The different forms of rack impact protection
Rack impact protection includes rack post protectors, corner impact protection, column protection, bollards, and rack end protection. All these protective measures help to avoid serious accidents.
If a collision does occur, rack impact protection ensures that the goods on the shelf do not immediately fall out, thereby avoiding risks to drivers or other uninvolved parties. Rack post protectors are available in different sizes for profiles ranging from 70 to 120 mm, making them compatible with all common brands.
Corner impact protection is another type of rack impact protection. It safeguards the corners both on the inside and on the outside. For indoor use, soft PVC is used. The staggered anchoring makes it highly unlikely for the anchoring to be pulled out.
Additionally, the closely fitted column protection is also part of rack impact protection. It is self-supporting, eliminating the need for drilling holes or floor anchoring.
For indoor use, the bollards are made of metal, and for outdoor use, hard PVC is employed. On one hand, they are robust, and on the other hand, they have a strong impact absorption.
As the name suggests, rack end protection offers optimal protection for the front-end posts and braces. It is suitable for both single and double rows.
Don’t overlook the need for rack impact protection
Rack impact protection ensures that racks, walls, doors, pipes, and machines are optimally protected indoors. Therefore, don’t skimp on protection and take the necessary precautions.
Rack impact protection comes in various forms. We are happy to provide advice on this and ensure that you are well-equipped.
