Pallet Rack Safety Systems

Protect Workers & Equipment, Prevent Inventory Shrinkage with Pallet Rack Backing and Enclosures

Pallet Rack Backing:
Form a sturdy wall of protection between your employees and your inventory with wire mesh pallet rack backing panels. Unlike industrial netting, which aims to catch materials, these systems utilize sturdy steel mesh to prevent sharp or unbalanced loads from slipping through. The panels bolt directly to the back of your existing pallet rack uprights creating a sturdy barrier between stored items and the ground below. To provide coverage, panels will stack to the desired height. For example, you might use (2) 5’ high and (1) 4’ high panels for 14’ of coverage. The open mesh design allows for quick visual inspection and will not obstruct sprinkler system performance.

Wire mesh rack safety systems can also keep your company NFPA compliant. By attaching steel mesh panels to the inside of back-to-back uprights, the panels maintain an open flue space that enables flames to vent vertically instead of outward. This vertical rise helps to effectively slow down the horizontal spread of fire, while ensuring unobstructed access for sprinklers to reach and extinguish burning materials.
With several manufacturers to choose from, rugged 2” x 2” x 10GA or 1 ½” x 3” x 8GA welded wire mesh panels come in both steel angle framed and unframed configurations. Framed panels have predrilled mounting holes and can be flush mounted, or a variety of offset brackets are available to allow for pallets that overhang the beams. Unframed panels are attached using offset brackets. Adjustable extension kits that allow panels to extend above the rack to contain loads stored on the top beam are also available. Simple nut-and-bolt assembly makes installation quick and easy to minimize costs and maximize savings.

Pallet Rack Enclosures:
With the ability to be used as backing, between continuous bays, and at the end of a row, wire mesh panels can be combined with wire mesh doors to create a fully enclosed bay, ensuring restricted access to valuable inventory.
