Steel Racking Impact Guard – Heavy-Duty Forklift Collision Protection for Warehouse Uprights
Description
Protect your warehouse racking uprights, shelving systems, and machinery from forklift and pallet truck impacts with the BarriersCo Heavy-Duty Steel Racking Impact Guard. Built from 6 mm thick steel plate and powder-coated in high-visibility yellow and black, this impact guard provides long-lasting protection in high-traffic industrial environments.
Designed for both indoor and warehouse applications, these robust post protectors absorb collision forces and prevent costly structural damage to rack uprights and shelving systems. The reflective finish ensures clear visibility even in low-light conditions, while pre-drilled base plates allow for fast, secure bolting to the warehouse floor.
Ideal for distribution centres, manufacturing plants, logistics hubs, and warehouse aisles, the Racking Impact Guard is engineered to withstand repeated forklift impacts without deforming or compromising strength.
