Pallet Racking Safety Add-Ons: Wire Decking, Guards, and Row Spacers Explained

Pallet racking solutions are essential for safety and performance in an industrial environment. If you’re investing in new pallet racking in Edmonton, it’s important to ensure that you purchase safety add-ons. 

These safety solutions include wire decking, guards, and row spacers to protect warehouse staff and inventory and decrease the possibility of injuries and accidents. 

Pallet Racking Safety Add-Ons

In a warehouse, safety is your number one priority. Our pallet packing systems have a variety of safety add-ons that will help keep warehouse, retail, and distribution personnel safe.

Wire Decking

One of the key safety add-ons in an industrial warehouse is wire decking – a grid-design mesh support that is attached to pallet rack beams and other supports to improve air circulation and increase visibility of stored items between pallets. 

The use of wire mesh decking is important to prevent pallets or goods from falling and to provide versatility in pallet organization. Wire decking, which is easy to install, is also used in bulk racks for compact storage in smaller spaces. 

Pallet Guards

Rack guards are installed along the edges of pallet beams to protect them from coming into contact with the racks. If a forklift bumps into a pallet, for example, and shifts goods off the rack or breaks, installing a pallet guard minimizes the risk of injury to people in a warehouse or retail store aisles.

Row Spacers

Row spacers are typically used when your pallet racking needs stability by connecting rows of pallet racking. This structural design element also prevents extra force between pallets, maintains a flue space (fire protection), and provides adequate spacing between rows.
