Racking & Warehouse Protection

One of the most common types of damage in warehouses is to the uprights of your racking system, which can be caused by accidental impacts from forklifts, pallets, and other moving equipment. Upright guards provide a protective shield around the vertical posts of your racking, absorbing the impact and preventing damage that could compromise the strength and stability of your racking system.

In line with the SpaceSmart ethos, investing in upright guards not only protects your racking system but also helps you maintain an organised and efficient storage environment. By preventing damage to the uprights, these guards extend the lifespan of your racking system, saving you time and money on costly repairs and replacements. This proactive approach to warehouse safety ensures that your space remains safe and secure while maximising the longevity of your equipment.

Barriers are another essential form of racking protection that serve to define clear, safe zones within your warehouse. These barriers can be placed around your racking systems, aisle-ways, or areas with high foot traffic to create a protective perimeter. By separating equipment, personnel, and storage areas, barriers help reduce the risk of accidents caused by collisions between warehouse vehicles and racking systems.

The SpaceSmart approach emphasises the importance of safety alongside space efficiency. With upright guards and barriers, you ensure that your warehouse operates smoothly while keeping traffic moving safely around your racking systems. With clearly defined safe zones, you create an environment where both workers and equipment can function without the risk of damage or injury.

One of the significant benefits of installing upright guards and barriers is the reduction in operational downtime caused by racking damage. When racking systems are damaged, the affected sections often need to be taken out of service for repairs, disrupting the flow of operations. By preventing damage in the first place, upright guards and barriers keep your racking system fully operational, reducing the need for costly repairs and minimising downtime.

Aligned with the SpaceSmart philosophy, these racking protection solutions enable you to maintain uninterrupted workflow, which contributes to higher productivity and lower operational costs. By avoiding costly repairs and ensuring your racking systems stay intact, you can allocate resources to other areas of your business, maximising the efficiency of your entire facility.

Upright guards and barriers are designed for easy installation and minimal maintenance. Most systems can be quickly attached to existing racking without the need for complex modifications, ensuring that your racking protection can be set up with minimal disruption to your operations. Additionally, these protective solutions are built to last and require very little ongoing maintenance.

The SpaceSmart approach emphasises solutions that are both efficient and low-maintenance. With upright guards and barriers, you get a protective solution that enhances safety and longevity with little effort. Their robust design means that once installed, they continue to perform effectively with minimal upkeep, helping you save both time and money.
