Don't Let Your Racking Get Whacked

Everyone knows that with forklifts zooming around the warehouse, it's only a matter of time before the pallet racking gets **WHACKED**. Even with the strictest safety rules, these accidents happen. However, forklift strikes don't have to cost you a bundle in racking repairs. A typical new upright replacement, can cost upwards of $1,000 to $1,500. This includes replacement parts, freight, removal and installation labor, and downtime. And if someone gets hurt...that's just a horrific thought.

You can take steps to reduce costly accidents and valuable employees getting hurt, by installing pallet racking guards. The ROI of installing pallet racking guards in a busy warehouse is a no-brainer and there are plenty of options to fit your specific needs.

Your maintenance crew may have been well intentioned and tried to save the company money by installing it in-house, but this could be a very costly shortcut. Pallet racking needs to be squared and checked with a level, laser alignment or snap-line. Once the racking is squared, get it anchored.
