Common Types of Pallet Racking Guards & Protectors

SSA offers a range of pallet racking protectors designed to protect both your racking systems and inventory. Some of our most popular products include:

Corner Guards: Corner guards are typically used at the end of single entry runs to protect the corners of a pallet racking setup. Typically, this means two corner guards are required per aisle end - one for each corner - to provide effective protection from forklifts or pallet jacks entering or exiting the aisle. They are a cost-effective solution for rack protection, and to ensure compliance with AS4084:2023 racking standards. 

Column Guards: Column guards are U-shaped protectors designed to wrap around the base of upright within your racking aisles. Column protectors help shield vulnerable areas from forklift or vehicle collisions, and are commonly used as a preventative measure for upright damage. 

End Row Barriers: End row barriers provide comprehensive protection for the end of racking rows. These barriers cover both corners and the front face of the racking, safeguarding it from impact. End row barriers are available in various sizes to suit both single-entry and double-entry rows of pallet racking.

Bollards: Bollards serve as a versatile protective solution throughout the warehouse. Commonly used near entry/exit points, equipment areas, or pedestrian zones, bollards act as strong physical barriers to help prevent accidental collisions. 

Rear Mesh Protection: Rear mesh protection is installed on racking where the back of the system is adjacent to a pedestrian aisle or walkway. The rear mesh prevents stock from falling, reducing the risk of injury or damage to stock.


Installation Tips for Pallet Racking Guards

To ensure your pallet racking protectors are effective, it’s important to follow these installation tips:

Proper Placement: Position rack protection at all exposed points of your racking system - including corners, aisle ends, and other high-impact or vulnerable areas. Ensure protective materials are installed in all required locations to maintain compliance with AS4084:2024 racking standards. 

Secure Fastening: Make sure all pallet rack guards and pallet protectors are securely fastened to avoid loosening or shifting over time. Proper attachment ensures maximum protection for your racking system.

Regular Inspections: Even after installation, regularly inspect your pallet racking guards and pallet protectors for any signs of damage or wear. This ensures they continue to perform effectively and that your warehouse remains safe.

Professional Installation: For the best results, we recommend professional installation services. SSA offers expert installation of rack protection, ensuring that everything is set up according to safety standards and that your warehouse is fully compliant.


Finding the Right Pallet Racking Guards at Shelving Supply Australia

Choosing the right pallet racking guards depends on several factors. Consider the following when selecting the best protection for your warehouse:

Racking Configuration: Selecting the appropriate rack protection depends on the configuration of your racking layout. SSA offers a range of rack protection materials to suit various layouts, ensuring you have the adequate protection for your specific system. 

Warehouse Layout: The layout and traffic flow in your warehouse are key considerations. In high-traffic areas or cross-aisles, it may be beneficial to install additional protective measures such as column guards or bollards to minimise the risk of impact and damage.
