The protective accessories are widely used in industrial racks. These accessories not only protect the safety of forklift operators but also stabilize pallets on the racks.
However, some users feel that adding these protective accessories is not necessary because of the extra cost. They believe that as long as the forklift operator operated properly, the safety problem will not happen to them. Is it necessary to install protective accessories for pallet rack or cantilever rack?
Absolutely!
Unlike the display shelving in the supermarket, the warehouse storage racks are designed for heavy-duty pallets and they need to use storage equipment such as forklifts to assist in storing and receiving goods.
Once the safety accident occurred, the owner will make a great loss, such as injury of the operator, destruction of goods, longer downtime and large fines.
The safety problems can be affected by many factors, such as the operation of forklift operator, quality of beams, wrong design of the layout.
