Pallet Rack Safety Systems
Pallet Rack Backing: Secure and Reliable Protection
Enhance workplace safety and prevent inventory shrinkage with wire mesh pallet rack backing panels. These systems create a sturdy barrier between your employees and stored materials, reducing the risk of falling items. Unlike industrial netting that only catches materials, our steel mesh panels prevent sharp or unbalanced loads from slipping through altogether.
Key Features of Pallet Rack Backing Systems:
Durable Steel Mesh Construction:
Provides superior strength and protection.
Direct Mounting:
Panels bolt directly to pallet rack uprights, forming a secure wall.
Customizable Coverage:
Panels stack to the desired height (e.g., (2) 5’ high and (1) 4’ high panels for 14’ coverage).
Open Mesh Design:
Allows for visual inspection and does not obstruct sprinkler system performance.
NFPA Compliance and Fire Safety
Wire mesh rack safety systems help your company stay compliant with NFPA standards by maintaining an open flue space. Attaching steel mesh panels to back-to-back uprights ensures flames vent vertically, slowing horizontal fire spread and enabling sprinklers to effectively extinguish flames.
Flexible Design and Easy Installation
Versatile Configurations:
Available in rugged 2” x 2” x 10GA or 1 ½” x 3” x 8GA welded wire mesh.
Framed and Unframed Panels:
Choose steel angle-framed panels with predrilled mounting holes or unframed panels with offset brackets for quick installation.
Offset Brackets:
Allow for pallet overhang or flush mounting as needed.
Extension Kits:
Expand panels above racks to contain top-level loads.
Quick Assembly:
Nut-and-bolt construction simplifies installation, saving time and costs.
Pallet Rack Enclosures: Complete Security Solutions
Wire mesh panels can also be combined with mesh doors to create fully enclosed bays. These enclosures secure inventory by restricting access to valuable materials while maintaining visibility and ventilation.
