pallet rack end guard rail protects warehouse racks from forklift collision

RackEnd Guard Rails

Keep Racks and Inventory Safe From Damage

Reduce the risk of pallet rack collapse and prevent damage from forklift collision. A-SAFE RackEnd guard rails shield rack aisle ends where turning forklifts can impact vulnerable structures. Like other A-SAFE guard rails, they flex, cushion and reform repeatedly upon impact saving on maintenance and vehicle repairs. Circular end posts and spinning collars provide added deflection and dissipation of impact forces and glancing blows. Huge return on investment from incident prevention and downtime avoidance as guard rails, vehicles floors and racking do not need replacing or repair, and stock is protected from collapse.
