Warehouse racking

Warehouse Accessories

Racking accessories help limit forklift impact damage and secure goods at height: upright guards, barriers, pallet stops, decking, anti-fall mesh, retention trays and load notices. Selection depends on the rack, loads, traffic and site constraints; EN 15635 is a reference framework for racking use and inspection, not an automatic compliance claim for every installation.

Available products

Upright protector Protects the frame foot from impacts; the catalogue illustrates yellow steel floor-fixed shapes and indoor/outdoor variants. Confirm shape, dimensions and anchoring.
Side barrier / guide rail Low timber barrier reinforced by two galvanized U profiles. The catalogue lists 1,150, 2,000, 3,000 or 3,500 mm lengths; confirm fixing and final dimensions.
Upright guard Flexible plastic protector H 600 mm for 75 to 100 mm uprights according to the catalogue; check compatibility with the existing profile.
Pallet stop Rear stop limiting pallet movement. Geometry, position, length and compatibility with beams and pallets must be confirmed.
Anti-fall mesh / netting Rear mesh panel or net retaining parcels and pallets in case of tipping. The need for overhead or rear retention depends on the risk assessment, layout and site rules.
Protection posts, rails and barriers Posts, rails, high-visibility barriers and dock protections for vehicle traffic areas. Historical heights of 500, 800 or 1,100 mm are references to confirm against the risk and visibility requirements.
Timber or steel decking Floor laid on the beams to store non-palletised loads. Panel type, span and load must be checked in the Rack decking sheet and against the rack load notice.
Retention tray Collects leaks from liquids and chemicals. Material, useful volume, chemical compatibility and applicable obligations must be checked against the stored product and spill scenario.
Load notice Signage showing the loads approved for each level and bay. Values must come from the validated racking design; EN 15635 provides an operating reference and does not replace that study.

Storage catalogue, printed pages 40–43: upright and frame guards, barriers, stops, mesh and traffic protection. Part reference, rack profile, slab, loads, anchors and site rules still require confirmation.

How to make your warehouse safe?

EN 15635 provides a prevention and inspection framework around racking; the measures to retain depend on the risk assessment and the site:

Frequently asked questions

Which accessories help secure warehouse racking?

The families to assess are upright guards, impact rails or barriers, pallet stops, decking, anti-fall mesh or netting, retention trays and load notices. The right combination depends on the loads, traffic and site layout.

How do you choose forklift impact protection for a rack?

The study considers exposed upright feet, aisle ends, manoeuvres, the floor and visibility before selecting a guard, upright protector, rail or barrier. There is no universal height or fixing for every warehouse.

Can accessories be added to existing racking?

A retrofit can be studied, but it must check upright profiles, beam length, depth, pallets, loads, anchors and the floor. A brand name or photograph alone is not enough to confirm compatibility.

What is the difference between decking, a pallet stop and anti-fall mesh?

Decking creates a level for non-palletised goods; a pallet stop limits rearward pallet movement; mesh or netting retains parcels or pallets that could tip. Their need and sizing are assessed separately.

What information is needed to size rack protection?

Share photographs, the brand or model if known, upright and beam profiles and dimensions, pallet sizes and weights, forklift traffic, aisle widths, the floor type and the areas to protect. This gives the team a basis for a study and quote.

Does a retention tray suit every product stored on racking?

No. Material, useful volume, chemical compatibility, load and rack configuration must be checked against the stored product and spill scenario. Applicable obligations are confirmed case by case; no collection-wide environmental compliance claim is made.

How should rack accessories be installed and inspected?

Installation is defined against the floor, anchors, rack and site traffic. After an impact or deformation, isolate the component and have it checked before reuse. Inspection frequency and the competent person's role must follow the manufacturer, operation and applicable site rules.
