A patented longitudinal flue space divider that maintains consistent flue spacing and prevents pallet push-through.

• Sizes: 12″ · 18″ · 24″
• Install: Tek screws included

The single-stop version of Flue Guard™. It mounts on one pallet rack beam instead of spanning a back-to-back pair, and stops pallets before they can be pushed through into the flue space. Stocked with a 3″ base flange in standard gray powder coat.

• Configuration: Single stop, mounts on one beam
• Stock size: 3″ base flange

The original transverse flue space keeper, designed to keep boxes from encroaching into the transverse flue space so sprinkler water can penetrate the pallet rack. The brackets also act as pallet safety stops at various elevations and install quickly on all major rack brands (US Patent #7,857,152).

• Standard size: 42″ × 3″
• Flue space: 3″ on each side of the post (6″ total)
• Members: Heavy-duty tube for frames up to 48″ (custom available)
• Function: Pallet safety stop at pallet or product levels

The heavy-duty version of the back-to-back Flue Guard™: the same double stop that holds the longitudinal flue open between rows, with an angle-iron brace along the bottom for heavier pallet loads than the standard stop is built for. Made to order to your flue width and beam.

• Configuration: Double stop, spans a back-to-back pair of beams
• Reinforcement: Angle-iron brace along the bottom
• Sizing: Made to order to your flue width and row spacer

The heavy-duty version of the single-sided Flue Guard™. It mounts on one beam like the standard single stop, with a perpendicular brace down the side for heavier pallets and harder pushes than the standard unit is built for. Made to order; base flange to suit your beam.

• Configuration: Single stop, mounts on one beam
• Reinforcement: Perpendicular brace down the side
• Sizing: Made to order; base flange to suit your beam

A single-sided Flue Guard™ built for structural pallet rack: a heavy steel plate stop rather than the formed standard unit, for the loads and beam sections structural rack carries. Made to order to your beam.

• Configuration: Single stop, mounts on one beam
• Construction: Heavy steel plate
• For: Structural pallet rack

A World XBar pallet support bar, also called a pallet rack cross bar, whose double-flanged design lays on top of the rack beam — which the manufacturer says helps reduce beam spread. Drops in place for easy installation and adds support under full-pallet loads where full wire-deck coverage isn't required. The manufacturer publishes no load rating for the World XBar range, so if the bar is carrying load in your calculation, get the figure on the quote.

• Style: Double flanged, lays on top of beam
• Material: 16 ga. steel, four-corner roll-formed
• Fits: All 1-5/8″ step beams
• Finish: Galvanized standard (optional powder coat)

• Heights: 12″ · 18″ · 24″
• Fits: 4.5″–8.5″ inside width (all uprights & baseplates)

A low-profile upright protector engineered to fit over oversized seismic baseplates, installing over the top of the baseplate rather than surrounding it — which keeps it from eating aisle floor space. Steel V-face on a heavy two-anchor mounting plate, powder-coated safety yellow.

• Mount: Floor-mounted · 2-anchor mounting plate
• Construction: Steel, V-face
• Height: 12″
• Inside width: 3-1/4″ or 4-1/4″

A slim steel deflector that bolts directly into the accessory holes on the rack upright, so no floor anchoring or drilling is required. It adds steel exactly where impacts land, and comes off again without leaving anchor holes in your slab. Powder-coated safety yellow.

• Mount: Bolt-on to upright accessory holes (no floor anchors)
• Construction: Slim-profile steel
• Heights: 12″ · 24″
• Models: BP-12 (8 lb) · BP-24 (16 lb)

A post protector that bolts to the sides of the upright rather than the floor, so it can be fitted at any beam level instead of only at the base. Formed from 3/16″ steel in 12″ and 24″ heights, it suits bays where a floor-anchored guard would foul pallet placement or where damage is occurring above the first beam. Clearances cover standard 3-1/8″ and 4.1″ columns plus a Mecalux-specific 3.25″ option.

• Height: 12″ or 24″
• Construction: 3/16″-thick steel
• Clearances: 3-1/8″ · 3.25″ (Mecalux) · 4.1″
• Mounting: Bolts to upright sides, no floor anchor

A low 4″-high guard sized for the outrigger legs of a reach truck, which strike the column far below the first beam. Available in 1/4″ or 3/8″ steel and fixed with a single floor anchor, it stays under low beam levels where a taller protector will not fit. An optional plastic cap closes the top for food-grade and sanitary environments where an open section would trap debris.

• Height: 4″ (fits under low beam levels)
• Construction: 1/4″ or 3/8″ steel
• Clearances: 3.25″ or 5.5″
• Mounting: Single floor anchor (sold separately)

A 5″-high outrigger guard in heavy 3/8″ steel that bolts straight to the rack face and needs no floor anchoring at all. Skipping the concrete work makes it the fastest option to retrofit across a large number of bays, and the only one that can be moved later without leaving anchor holes in the slab. The trade-off is that impact loads transfer into the upright rather than the floor.

• Height: 5″
• Construction: 3/8″-thick steel
• Clearance: 3″
• Mounting: Bolts to rack face, no floor anchoring

A 12″-high, 9″-deep guard that anchors both in front of and behind the upright, leaving no baseplate projecting into the aisle. Because nothing protrudes past the frame line, it avoids the trip hazard and pallet-jack snag that a conventional footplate creates in a busy pick aisle. Built from 3/16″ steel with a 5″ clear opening.

• Height: 12″
• Depth: 9″
• Clear opening: 5″
• Construction: 3/16″-thick steel

A side-bolting protector slotted to clear rack hardware where the first beam level is set high off the floor. In that configuration the exposed run of column is longer than a standard base guard covers, so the protector mounts higher up the upright instead. Formed from 3/16″ steel with a 4.25″ clear opening; an optional plastic cap suits food-grade areas.

• Height: 12″
• Clear opening: 4.25″
• Clearance: 3″
• Construction: 3/16″-thick steel

A 16″-high guard in 1/4″ steel with a closed top, sized for narrow-aisle bays where a wide footplate would eat into the working aisle. The closed top is the reason it is specified in food and pharmaceutical facilities: there is no open section for dust, water or product debris to collect in, so it washes down cleanly. Fits structural and open-back frames, and mounts to the rack face or the floor.

• Height: 16″
• Construction: 1/4″-thick steel, closed top
• Clearance: 3″
• Frame fit: Structural · Open Back

A curved 3/16″ steel plate welded to a heavy base, shaped so a glancing forklift hit is deflected around the column instead of stopping against it. The 8-1/4″ × 6″ × 1/4″ baseplate is punched at all four corners for 1/2″ anchors, and the 5-1/4″ × 4″ inset clears rack posts up to 5″ wide. Supplied in 12″, 18″ and 24″ heights, powder-coated safety yellow.

• Heights: 12″ · 18″ · 24″ (custom on request)
• Construction: 3/16″ curved steel plate, welded base
• Base plate: 8-1/4″ × 6″ × 1/4″ steel
• Fits: Rack posts up to 5″ wide

The wide-inset version of the crescent protector, built identically in 3/16″ steel on the same 8-1/4″ × 6″ × 1/4″ base but opened out to an 8-1/4″ × 4″ inset. That extra width is what lets it fit heavy structural uprights and deep-column frames up to 8″ wide, which the standard crescent will not clear. Same 12″, 18″ and 24″ heights and the same anchor pattern.

• Heights: 12″ · 18″ · 24″ (custom on request)
• Construction: 3/16″ curved steel plate, welded base
• Base plate: 8-1/4″ × 6″ × 1/4″ steel
• Fits: Rack posts up to 8″ wide

A structural steel channel on a four-hole base plate that sits in front of an in-aisle rack upright and takes the forklift, hand-truck or cart strike instead. Made for 3″ and 4″ uprights in 12″, 18″, 24″ and 36″ heights. The manufacturer recommends its optional flush-head anchors so the bolt heads don't catch truck tires.

• Fits: 3″ or 4″ wide rack uprights
• Heights: 12″ · 18″ · 24″ · 36″
• Base plate: 8″ × 6″ (3″ model) · 9″ × 6″ (4″ model)
• Construction: Structural steel channel

A heavy end-of-aisle rack protector for severe environments and high-traffic intersecting aisles, protecting the entire depth of the upright where most damage occurs. Built with 5/16″-thick construction on a pre-punched angle base and available in right, left or double-end designs.

A 5 mm steel guard that wraps the exposed corner of an end-of-row upright, doorway or wall corner to take the brunt of forklift strikes. Floor-mounted on an 8″ × 8″ base plate with three 1/2″ wedge anchors, it leaves a 6″ × 6″ clearance around the column. Available in 12″, 18″, 24″ and 42″ heights, powder-coated safety yellow.

• Mount: Floor-mounted · (3) 1/2″-dia. wedge anchors
• Construction: 5 mm (1/5″) thick steel
• Heights: 12″ · 18″ · 24″ · 42″
• Base plate: 8″ × 8″ (6″ × 6″ inside clearance)

A floor-mounted guard that runs the depth of the end frame and curves outward into the aisle, taking the hit before a truck reaches the upright. Standard duty is an 8″ upright on 5″ × 3″ angle in 1/4″ steel; heavy duty steps up to a 12″ upright on 6″ × 4″ angle in 1/2″ steel for intersecting aisles and high-traffic ends.

A low-profile end guard built from 4.5″ OD Schedule 40 pipe with welded end caps, standing only 5″ tall. The round face turns a square-on strike into a deflection, and the low height keeps it clear of pallet overhang at the first beam level. Bolted to the floor in 36″, 42″ and 48″ lengths.

• Height: 5″ (low profile)
• Construction: Schedule 40 pipe, 4.5″ OD, welded caps
• Lengths: 36″ · 42″ · 48″
• Mounting: Floor-bolted

The heaviest end guard in the range, formed from 3/8″ steel for very narrow aisle operations, where wire-guided trucks, order pickers and AGVs run within inches of the frame at speed and an end-of-row strike carries far more energy than in a conventional aisle. Its square-end profile saves up to 5″ of aisle space against a conventional end guard. Left, right or double-ended, in 42″ and 48″ lengths, anchored with 3/4″ wedge anchors.

• Construction: 3/8″ steel
• Lengths: 42″ · 48″
• Configurations: Left · Right · Double-ended
• Aisle saving: Up to 5″ against a conventional end guard

An end-of-aisle guard with a notched profile that nests in close to the rack frame, so it protects the row end without taking the floor space a conventional end guard needs. At 12″ high it stays below the first beam and does not block the first pallet position. Heavy-duty 3/8″ steel, installed around the rack legs at the end of the aisle.

• Construction: Heavy-duty 3/8″ steel
• Profile: Notched to nest close to the frame
• Height: 12″ low profile; does not block the first pallet bay
• Install: Around the rack legs at the end of the aisle

A row-end protector with a 12″-high, 3/8″ steel crescent welded to an L5″ × 3″ × 1/4″ structural floor angle, wrapping the end frame from the aisle side. Single-sided suits a row end against a wall or flue; double-sided is used where aisles intersect and impact can come from either direction. Note that right- and left-hand crescents must be ordered as pairs.

• Crescent: 12″ high, 3/8″ steel
• Floor angle: L5″ × 3″ × 1/4″ structural steel
• Single-sided: 24″ · 42″ · 48″ · 54″
• Double-sided: 42″ · 48″

A bolt-together end-of-aisle protector: a 1/4″ steel floor angle with an 8″ protector head on one or both ends, sized for 42″ or 48″ rack bays. Because the heads bolt on rather than being welded, the same angle makes a left, right or double-head unit, and heads and angles are sold separately as replacement parts. It is the medium-duty, lower-cost option to the XT, built in Wisconsin and shipped with anchors.

• Protector head: 8″ H × 1/4″ thick, bolted (1/2″ × 1-1/2″ bolts included)

• Size: 12″ tall × 5-1/2″ wide (5″ tall version available)
• Design: Hybrid rubber elastomer + U-shaped steel insert
• Performance: Up to 72% lower peak column stress in frontal impact (manufacturer-stated)
• Fits: Roll-formed or structural columns, 3″ wide and up to 3″ deep

A molded high-density-polyethylene guard that snaps onto the upright, for bays where a steel guard is more than the traffic warrants. The color runs through the plastic, so there is no paint to flake or chip, and a backside bolt tightens it to the column to stop it sliding. Stands 9″ tall to fit 3″×3″ posts in safety yellow.

• Material: HDPE / high-density polyethylene
• Mount: Snap-on · backside bolt to secure
• Height: 9″

• Size: 24″ tall × 3-1/2″ wide
• Thickness: 3/16″ steel
• Deflector: 3″ high × 5/16″ bull-nose
• Fit: Universally punched for all rack brands (3″ cols; 4″ avail.)

A continuous run of 5″ × 3″ × 1/4″ structural angle bolted to the slab along the base of a rack row, wall or partition. Rather than guarding a single upright, it takes glancing contact along the whole length and steers the truck back into the aisle, which is what makes it useful in front of pallet flow rails and in-plant offices. Supplied in lengths up to 20 feet.

• Material: 5″ × 3″ × 1/4″ structural angle steel
• Lengths: Up to 20 ft standard
• Protects: Rack supports · pallet flow rails · walls · offices · partitions

An engineered single-column repair kit, built around a 1/4″-thick hollow structural steel (HSS) closed-tube post that splices in below the damage. It bolts on with no on-site welding and installs in under an hour, typically without unloading the rack. The maker is clear that a repair does not raise the rack's manufacturer-specified capacity — it restores the damaged column so the frame can go back into service, with beams re-seated using the hook-over accessory or bolted connections.

• Design: 1/4″-thick HSS closed-tube front post
• Install: Bolt-on, no welding, under 1 hr, typically no unloading
• Engineering: Engineered kit; restores original rated load capacity
• Heights: Cut to damage height, up to 24 ft column

The double-leg Pro kit repairs both the front and rear columns of a frame at once with two 1/4″-thick HSS closed-tube posts tied together by a C3-channel horizontal brace. It bolts to the existing rack with no welding and installs in under an hour, typically without unloading. Because it replaces the full base of the upright on both columns, it puts a heavier closed-tube section where the forklift strikes land — the maker does not claim a repair raises the rack's specified capacity, and neither do we.

• Design: Two 1/4″-thick HSS posts + C3-channel brace
• Install: Bolt-on, no welding, under 1 hr, typically no unloading
• Engineering: Engineered with braces; restores original load capacity
• Heights: Cut to damage height, up to 24 ft column

It uses the same 1/4″-thick HSS closed-tube construction and bolts on with no welding, installing in under an hour and typically without unloading the rack. Each kit is engineered and made-to-measure to restore the sloped frame's original rated load capacity.

• Design: 1/4″-thick HSS closed-tube post with angled base
• Fits: Slanted/sloped racks, structural & cold-formed · single or double leg
• Install: Bolt-on, no welding, under 1 hr, typically no unloading
• Engineering: Made-to-measure; restores original load capacity

Warehouse safety netting for pallet rack: woven mesh that spans the back or ends of a bay to catch product and debris before it falls into aisles or onto pedestrians, which is the secure-storage duty OSHA 1910.176(b) puts on you. It hooks to standard teardrop or slotted uprights and keeps the longitudinal flue space clear for sprinklers. Standard bay sizes stock from 8′ to 13′ wide, with custom and offset versions for overhanging loads.

• Type: Woven-mesh rack guard / debris net
• Function: Catches falling product/debris off the back or ends of a bay
• Mounting: Hooks to standard teardrop or slotted uprights
• Sizing: Standard bay widths, with custom and offset versions

Heavy 2″ polyester webbing straps that span the back or side of a bay as a rear stop, keeping palletized and shrink-wrapped loads from pushing through into the flue space or falling into aisles — a tool-free alternative to a backstop beam, and one way of meeting the secure-storage duty OSHA 1910.176(b) puts on you. They mount flush to standard rear uprights with teardrop, slotted, structural, or J-hook hardware and remove for access in seconds. Standard lengths fit 4–13 ft bays, with custom sizes available.

• Type: Polyester webbing rear/side-stop strap
• Material: 2″ polyester webbing · ~2,400 lb assembly burst strength
• Function: Rear stop against pallet push-through into flue or aisle
• Mounting: Flush to rear uprights · teardrop, slotted, structural or J-hook

Welded-wire back-guard panels that bolt to the rear uprights of standard pallet rack to stop product push-through into aisles and protect pedestrians below — the secure-storage duty OSHA 1910.176(b) puts on you. Built from 10-gauge steel wire welded into 2″ × 2″ mesh on a steel angle frame, panels stack to any height and start at the floor or any level where protection is required. Stocked in 1-ft width increments in 4′ and 5′ heights, with flush or offset mounting for overhanging loads.

• Type: Welded-wire back-guard panel
• Material: 10-ga wire · 2″ × 2″ mesh · steel angle frame

All-welded panels of 2″ × 2″ × 10 GA mesh in a 1-1/4″ × 1-1/4″ × 12 GA angle frame, fixed to the back or ends of a bay as a rigid alternative to netting. Where a net stretches and needs periodic inspection for cuts and broken webbing, a welded panel either is intact or is visibly damaged, which is why it is often specified over pick faces and pedestrian routes. Flush, offset and special-angle brackets cover pallet overhang and panels extending above the top beam.

• Mesh: 2″ × 2″ × 10 GA welded wire
• Frame: 1-1/4″ × 1-1/4″ × 12 GA structural angle, all-welded
• Heights: 3 ft to 5 ft
• Widths: 8 ft to 16 ft

A steel stop that slides onto the rear beam and physically limits how far a pallet can be pushed into the bay. It stops the two failures that follow over-travel: product pushed off the back of the rack, and pallets driven into the flue space where they block sprinkler penetration. Flush, 3″ and 6″ overhang versions suit different load depths, and it also holds waterfall wire deck in place on a 1-3/4″ × 1-3/4″ mesh grid.

• Fits beam: 2-3/4″ deep × 4-3/4″ or 6-1/2″ face
• Versions: Flush · 3″ overhang · 6″ overhang

A polymer bollard that flexes on impact and returns to shape, rather than resisting rigidly like a steel pipe. Because the material absorbs and dissipates the energy, far less of it is transferred into the slab and the anchors, which is what usually turns a hard strike on a steel bollard into concrete repair as well as bollard replacement. Rated to PAS 13, the traffic-management barrier standard, by impact energy rather than a lb-at-mph figure. Yellow and grey as standard, on an electrophoretic-coated base.

• Heights: 32-7/8″ · 47-1/4″ · 78-3/4″
• Material: Impact-absorbing polymer, flexes and rebounds
• Rated to: PAS 13 — 5,800 J, equivalent to 4.7 US ton at 4 mph
• Impact zone: 0–47-1/4″ (90° approach)

An 84″ bollard set into the slab rather than bolted to it, so the concrete itself resists the impact instead of four anchors in shear. That makes it the choice for exterior dock approaches, gate posts and yard traffic where a surface-mounted baseplate would shear off under a hard strike. Available in 5.5″, 6.5″ and 8.5″ outside diameters, in safety yellow or red, with a plastic cap and striped decal.

• Length: 84″ overall (buried depth per site conditions)
• Diameters: 5.5″ · 6.5″ · 8.5″ OD
• Install: Direct bury into slab — no baseplate or anchors
• Colours: Safety yellow or red

High-density polyethylene sleeves that drop over an existing bollard to restore high-visibility colour without repainting, and to stop rust bleeding onto the slab. Because they are plastic they do not chip or need masking off, which is why they are common in food and retail-facing areas where a repaint means downtime. Internal diameters of 4.5″, 7″, 8-7/8″ and 10-7/8″ cover the usual bollard sizes, in heights from 52″ to 72″.

• Material: Heavy-duty high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Internal diameters: 4.5″ · 7″ · 8-7/8″ · 10-7/8″

• Base plate: 10″ × 10″ × 3/8″, drilled for 5/8″ holes
• Heights: 24″ · 36″ · 42″ (60″ custom)
• Anchors: 1/2″, 4 recommended, not included

Blow-molded HDPE column guards that wrap around a building column in two halves and strap together with no tools, putting a highly visible barrier at the base of the column where forklifts and material handling equipment strike. They are sold as a lightweight, easy-to-install alternative to steel guarding, and because they strap on, they can be repositioned or replaced as the layout changes. The standard model is 42″ tall with a 24″ outside diameter, with square openings for 6″ to 12″ columns (which also fit round columns) and a 9″ round opening. A 24″ Short, a 6″ Slim and a Bolt Together model for 14″ to 18″ columns complete the range.

• Material: Blow-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE)
• Fits columns: 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″ square openings (also fit round) · 9″ round · Bolt Together 14″, 16″, 18″

A curved steel guard, 16-1/2″ high, that bolts to the floor against a building column, drain pipe or other fixed equipment. It comes prefabricated, so there is no welding or cutting on site, and the anchors sit inside the curve out of the way of traffic. The maker recommends a set of four to cover all sides of a column.

• Height: 16-1/2″
• Mounting: Two 5/8″ internal holes · 1/2″ anchors, not included
• Coverage: Set of four recommended for all sides of a column

A tight-fit polymer column guard for square and rectangular building columns. Interlocking corner sections and expansion panels close onto all four sides of the column with a minimal footprint, and a step at the base encloses the column’s base plate to shield its fixings. Each guard covers an impact height of 0 to 20-1/2″, and guards stack to reach any height. The maker positions it for light impacts and glancing blows, and rates it at 1,600 J at a 90° approach, which it equates to a 2 US ton vehicle at 3 mph.

• Fits: Square and rectangular columns · built to size from corner sections and expansion panels
• Impact height: 0–20-1/2″ per guard; stack guards for more height
• Maker rating: 1,600 J at 90° · equivalent to 2 US ton at 3 mph
• Compression: 4″ at maximum energy

A polymer guardrail built around a column rather than onto it. The rails are set apart from the column, so a strike is absorbed by the barrier and kept away from the structure. It fits columns of any size and section, square, rectangular, round or irregular, and can be supplied as a two- or three-sided unit for corner columns or columns against a wall. Rails and posts can be replaced in place without taking the rest of the guard apart. The maker rates the rail at 5,800 J at 90° on 59″ post centres, which it equates to a 2.5 US ton vehicle at 5 mph.

• Fits: Any column shape or size · full, two- or three-sided
• Rails: 4″ diameter polymer rails, stood off from the column
• Posts: 44-4/7″ high on a 7″ × 7″ base

The iFlexRail Column Guard with an integrated Traffic Rail added at the base, for columns in high-traffic areas. Like the standard guard it stands off from the column and fits any column shape or size. The maker rates it at 13,750 J at 90°, which it equates to a 4.2 US ton vehicle at 6 mph, for vehicles with an impact height of 8″ to 15-5/9″.

• Adds: Integrated Traffic Rail at the base
• Fits: Any column shape or size
• Posts: 44-2/3″ high on a 9″ × 9″ base
• Maker rating: 13,750 J at 90° · equivalent to 4.2 US ton at 6 mph

A triangular steel wedge, bolted to the floor and painted safety yellow, that stops a forklift or pallet truck wheel where it should not go: at dock edges, staging bays and aisle ends, before racking, walls or the dock lip. Sized at 2″ high, 6″ wide and 42″ long so it stops the wheel without blocking walkways. Four 3/4″ wedge anchors hold it down; no concrete work.

• Size: 2″ high × 6″ wide × 42″ long
• Material: Heavy-duty steel
• Finish: Powder-coated safety yellow

A sensor fitted to the rack upright that registers a forklift strike at the moment it happens and flags which frame was hit. The problem it solves is under-reporting: an operator who clips a frame at the far end of an aisle rarely reports it, and the damage then stays in service until a quarterly inspection finds it or the frame fails under load. Detection turns that into a same-shift notification, so the bay can be unloaded and assessed before it is loaded again.

• Function: Registers forklift impact on a rack upright
• Alerts: Identifies the struck frame at time of impact
• Fitting: Mounts to the upright; retrofit to existing rack
• Purpose: Closes the gap between unreported damage and inspection

An all-welded steel gate that pivots across the dock opening when no trailer is docked, standing 42″ high so it reads as a barrier rather than a trip rail. It mounts over a 6″ × 42″ bollard, which means the bollard takes any impact instead of the gate hinge. Supplied in 5 ft to 14 ft widths in 1 ft increments, single or paired for wide openings.

• Height: 42″ (OSHA guardrail height)
• Widths: 5 ft to 14 ft in 1 ft increments
• Construction: All-welded steel
• Mounting: Over a 6″ × 42″ bollard

The heaviest barrier in the dock range, rated by the manufacturer at 30,000 lbs at 4 mph — an order of magnitude above interior guardrail, because a loaded truck reversing at a dock edge carries far more energy than an aisle strike. Built on 5″ steel posts with 12″ × 12″ × 5/8″ offset base plates and 1″ pins, with a sliding locking plate and no pinch points. Clearances of 8, 10 and 12 ft.

• Impact rating: 30,000 lbs at 4 mph (manufacturer-stated)
• Height: 42″
• Posts: 5″ steel on 12″ × 12″ × 5/8″ offset base plates
• Clearances: 8 ft · 10 ft · 12 ft

A vertical-lift barrier that rises straight up rather than swinging, for openings where there is no floor space for a gate arc. Air assist takes the weight so it can be raised one-handed, and aluminium rails keep the moving section light while the carbon steel posts carry the load. The 42″ top rail meets OSHA guardrail height when lowered.

• Action: Vertical lift, air-assisted
• Posts: Carbon steel, 4.5″ × 2″
• Rails: Aluminium, 1.5″
• Top rail: 42″ (OSHA guardrail height)

A retractable industrial fabric barrier that pulls across a dock or door opening at about 3 lbs of effort, so it actually gets used on every cycle rather than being left open. At 42″ high it provides a visible stop for pedestrians and pallet trucks while still letting air move through, which keeps a ventilated dock ventilated and blocks birds, insects and blown debris. Widths from 8 ft to 20 ft.

• Height: 42″
• Pull force: ~3 lbs
• Widths: 8 ft · 9–10 ft · 11–12 ft · 13–16 ft · 17–20 ft
• Airflow: Permeable — blocks debris, insects and birds

A 48″-high steel guard set in front of the vertical track of an overhead door. A bent track is one of the more expensive dock repairs because the door is out of service until it is fixed, and the damage usually comes from a forklift clipping the track rather than a direct hit. Formed from 3/16″ steel on a 1/4″ baseplate with 7″ standard clearance, up to 14″ on request, in left- and right-hand versions.

• Height: 48″
• Construction: 3/16″ steel, 1/4″ baseplate
• Clearance: 7″ standard, up to 14″
• Handing: Left or right

A short steel channel guard that bolts down in front of an overhead door track, where fork trucks and other moving equipment can damage it. It comes 24″ or 36″ tall on a 6″ × 8″ base plate and is 5″ wide overall. Yellow with black safety stripes, and it takes standard 1/2″ anchors.

• Heights: 24″ or 36″
• Footprint: 6″ × 8″ base plate · 5″ overall width
• Anchors: Standard 1/2″ (optional 1/2″ low-profile)
• Finish: Yellow with black safety stripe

A counterbalanced dock-edge gate whose rail folds as it lifts, so it covers a 10 ft or 12 ft opening without needing the overhead clearance a straight gate does. Closed, it puts a 42″ top rail across an open dock door or truck pit and is rated by its maker for 200 lbs of top-rail pressure; raised, it clears the opening completely. Gas cylinders take the weight, and it can be set up to open either way.

• Clear openings: 10 ft or 12 ft
• Top rail: 42″ above floor when closed
• Top-rail load: 200 lbs; meets the OSHA 1910.23 load force protection requirement when properly anchored (manufacturer-stated)
• Shipping weight: 85 lbs (10 ft) · 91 lbs (12 ft)

A counterbalanced straight rail that lifts up out of the way of a standard dock door and drops back down to close it off. Closed, the top rail sits 42″ off the floor and its maker rates it for 200 lbs of top-rail pressure. It comes in 8 ft and 10 ft clear widths. Because the rail lifts straight up, check the headroom: the 10 ft gate needs about 167″ when raised.

• Clear openings: 8 ft or 10 ft
• Top rail: 42″ above floor when closed
• Top-rail load: 200 lbs; meets the OSHA 1910.23 load force protection requirement when properly anchored (manufacturer-stated)
• Shipping weight: 62 lbs (8 ft) · 67 lbs (10 ft)

A self-closing pallet gate built from six independent spring-loaded arms on integrated casters, so a strike damages one arm rather than the whole gate — and that arm is replaced individually. The arms close behind the load automatically, keeping a barrier at the edge whether the pallet is in place or not. Widths of 4, 6 and 8 ft at 42″ high, with clearances of 48″, 72″ and 96″ for roll-formed and structural rack.

• Height: 42″
• Widths: 4 ft · 6 ft · 8 ft
• Clearances: 48″ · 72″ · 96″
• Arms: 6 independent spring-loaded arms, individually replaceable

An all-welded tubular steel gate that pivots so one side is always closed: as the loading side opens, the edge side closes, and the worker is never exposed to the drop. The manufacturer cites OSHA fall-protection requirements for elevated work surfaces (29 CFR 1910.28 / 1910.29). Standing 79.5″ high and 66″ deep, in single-pallet (63″ W) and double-pallet (120″ W) versions with clear openings from 55″ to 120″.

• Height: 79.5″ · Depth 66″
• Single pallet: 63″ wide
• Double pallet: 120″ wide
• Clear openings: 55″ · 60″ · 72″ · 96″ · 108″ · 120″

A pallet-drop gate that keeps the edge guarded while it is loaded: raise one side and the other comes down, so there is always a rail between the platform and the drop. The frame is cut to width on site, from 10 ft down to 3 ft, which suits openings that aren’t a standard size. It takes pallets up to 6′-1″ high and 7′-1″ deep.

• Action: One side closes as the other opens
• Interior width: Cut to fit on site, 109-1/8″ down to 25-1/8″ (outside 120″ to 36″)
• Pallet clearance: 7′-1″ deep × 6′-1″ max pallet height
• Footprint: Outside width 120″ to 36″ × 84-1/2″ D × 85-7/16″ H

A pallet gate that rotates up into a vertical cradle, for openings with little floor space either side, and you need overhead room equal to the gate width. It stays hinged to its centre post throughout, so it cannot be dropped over the edge. Closed, it gives a 42″ rail with toe board.

• Openings: 4 ft to 8 ft (custom sizes available)
• Vertical clearance: Equal to the gate width
• Height: 42″ rail with toe board
• Construction: 1-1/2″ dia. steel tube; 3″ × 3″ posts on 6″ × 6″ base plates

A trackless slide gate that rolls along the rail line on silent polyurethane wheels, leaving the deck clear and working where headroom is limited. The person opening it stays behind the gate and rail for the whole slide, and the gate latches when closed. Plan for clear rail-line space of twice the opening plus 36″.

• Openings: 4 ft to 8 ft (custom sizes available)
• Clearance along rail: 2 × opening + 36″ (132″ for 4 ft, up to 228″ for 8 ft)
• Height: 42″ rail with toe board
• Construction: 1-1/2″ square steel tube, trackless on polyurethane wheels

A single or bi-parting swing gate that rolls on an 8″ wheel, letting it float over the floor as it opens, which suits openings with little headroom. Singles latch to the opposite post; doubles close with a cane bolt and latch. Spring-closing is an option.

• Single gate: 3 ft to 6 ft
• Double (bi-parting): 3 ft to 12 ft
• Height: 42″ to match railings, with toe board
• Construction: 1-1/2″ dia. steel tube on 8″ wheel(s)

A true safety gate for pick modules and mezzanines: raise one side and the other closes, so the ledge is never open. The arms pivot at more than one point and swing up outside the side panels, which leaves room for taller pallets than a pivot gate. It bolts to most makers’ rack uprights or stands alone on the deck, with expanded-metal sides and a built-in kickplate.

• Action: One side closes as the other opens
• Pallet clearance: 54″ deep × 86″ high (standard models)
• Widths: 4 ft to 12 ft clear; single or double-wide pallet
• Mounting: Rack-mounted (most makers’ uprights) or freestanding on the deck

Spring-loaded steel fingers that a gravity-fed pallet pushes open on its way in, and that close again once the pallet is picked out. The standard set fits a 96″ bay of 40″ × 48″ pallets, either bolted to the rack uprights or on its own posts. JiffyRail can fill wider bays or a walkway between roller lanes.

• Fits: Common 96″ rack bays, 40″ × 48″ pallets (custom finger lengths)
• Mounting: Rack uprights (2 bolts per finger, holes 12″ on centre) or freestanding posts
• Height: 42″ top rail (per the manufacturer drawing)
• Strength: Meets OSHA guardrail strength when closed (manufacturer-stated)

A safety gate on a 65″ × 65″ footprint, for tall pallet loads where floor space is tight. One side is closed whenever the other is open. Coated cables keep it smooth and quiet, a spring assist slows the gate’s descent to protect feet, and track guarding takes the knocks from loading.

• Action: One side closes as the other opens
• Pallet clearance: 57-1/2″ W × 60″ D × 82″ H
• Footprint: 65″ W × 65″ D × 98″ H
• Operation: Spring-assisted descent, coated cables, guarded track

Two 5′ × 5′ pallet bays side by side with linked sliding gates: while the forklift loads one bay from below, staff on the mezzanine unload the other, and the gates swap over together. It is built for high-cycle drop zones where loading shouldn’t wait on unloading. Three-rail construction that mounts to any type of flooring.

• Action: Inner and outer gates slide together, alternating two bays
• Load opening: 5′ W × 5′ D per bay
• Footprint: 13′-8″ L × 5′-5″ W × 42″ H
• Construction: Three-rail; meets OSHA, IBC, BOCA and UBC requirements (manufacturer-stated)

A side-mounted slide gate for a mezzanine pallet opening that takes up very little deck space, 6′-0″ clear as standard on a 14′-9″ footprint, with 8′-0″ available. It ships with the EdgeAlert alarm, which flashes and sounds while the gate is open. A powered version runs from a remote, a fixed control button or a hanging pendant.

• Clear opening: 6′-0″ standard, up to 8′-0″
• Footprint: 14′-9″ wide (6′ standard)
• Mounting: Side of mezzanine
• Standards: Meets industry requirements (manufacturer-stated)

A bi-parting swing gate for a mezzanine pallet opening, 6′-0″ clear as standard and up to 8′-0″, held shut with a slide lock and barrel bolt and supplied with the EdgeAlert open-gate alarm. It can be built 2-rail, 3-rail or mesh to match the rail already on the platform. Optional spring hinges swing the leaves shut after use.

• Clear opening: 6′-0″ standard, up to 8′-0″
• Height: 42″ to match standard mezzanine rail
• Infill: 2-rail, 3-rail or mesh
• Standards: Meets industry requirements (manufacturer-stated)

A lightweight removable gate for a 72″ mezzanine pallet opening. Spring latches release it and it tilts inward, toward the platform, so nobody has to lean over the edge to lift it out. The integral kick plate stops loose items going over the edge when it’s in place.

• Usable opening: 72″ wide
• Size: 6′-3″ W × 42″ H
• Action: Tilts inward for removal; spring-loaded latches
• Mounting: Side-mounted

The simplest way to close a 6′-0″ mezzanine pallet opening: a light tubular gate that drops into pockets on the side of the deck and lifts straight out for loading. Set several side by side for a wider opening. Each gate has an integral kick plate.

• Clear opening: 6′-0″ per gate; gang side by side for wider
• Mounting: Side-mounted pockets (standard), deck-mounted optional
• Rails: 2-rail or 3-rail
• Standards: Meets applicable codes and safety standards (manufacturer-stated)

Spring-loaded steel gate panels that open as the forklift drops the pallet through and close again behind it, so nobody has to open them by hand at the edge. They are common in pallet-flow and pick-module drop zones. Made to suit the bay: single or double pallet, 2 or 3 rails, and rack-mounted or freestanding.

• Action: Spring-loaded, self-closing as loads pass
• Horizontal clearance: 6 ft to 10 ft required
• Configurations: Single or dual pallet; 2- or 3-rail
• Mounting: Freestanding or rack-mounted

An alarm for mezzanine gates that leave the edge open while they are open. A coded magnetic sensor detects the open gate, and the unit sounds a horn and flashes amber LEDs on the front and back, so it can be seen from the deck and from the floor below. A snooze button gives two minutes for loading, and a self-check shows a fault if a sensor or wire fails.

• Signal: Amber LEDs front and back + horn (3 levels: 75 / 83 / 90 dB at 24″)
• Sensor: Dual-channel coded magnetic sensor, self-monitoring with fault signal
• Power: Plug-in supply (included) and/or 4 × D-cell batteries
• Enclosure: 6-3/8″ W × 10-1/2″ H × 2-3/4″ D; mounts on 1-1/2″ or 1-5/8″ OD pipe

A modular steel guard rail for mezzanine and platform edges: square-tube rails on 2-1/2″ HSS uprights, bolted to the outside of the framing so no deck space is lost. It comes 2- to 5-rail, in square or round tube, with a 14-gauge kick plate and optional expanded-metal or picket infill. Laid out to suit your platform.

• Rails: 14 ga 1-1/2″ × 1-1/2″ square tube (round tube optional), 2- to 5-rail
• Uprights: 2-1/2″ × 2-1/2″ × 1/8″ HSS
• Mounting: Side-mounted to framing with 1/2″ A325 bolts; surface mount optional
• Kick plate: 14 gauge

Zinc-plated pipe rail that goes up without welding or threading: the tee and cross fittings come pre-welded to the posts, and rails slide through and tighten in place. Layouts are designed to your floor plan, mounted on top of a platform, on its side, or on rack uprights. It is used on platforms, pick modules, walkways and loading docks, indoors or out.

• Rail: 1-1/2″ dia. steel tube
• Posts: 1-5/8″ dia. high-strength tube, fittings pre-welded
• Base plate: 4″ × 4″ standard
• Toe board: 4″

A self-closing swing gate that adjusts on site to fit the opening actually present, rather than the one on the drawing — which is why it is the usual retrofit choice for existing handrail and guardrail. Five adjustment ranges span roughly 18″ to 48″. At 22″ high it closes a walkthrough gap in an existing rail run rather than acting as the rail itself.

• Height: 22″
• Adjustment ranges: 19–29″ · 18–28″ · 28–38″ · 27–37″ · 38–48″
• Action: Self-closing
• Mounts to: Handrail or guardrail

A self-closing gate for the top of an access ladder (dock, roof, mezzanine or maintenance) so the ladder opening is never left open. It mounts to pipe rails up to 2″ diameter and is reversible for left or right hinging. Two adjustable sizes cover openings from 16″ to 40″, measured out-to-out across the ladder rails.

• Fits openings: 16″–26″ or 27″–40″ (measured out-to-out)
• Hinges: Self-closing, spring-loaded
• Handing: Reversible, left or right
• Mounts to: Pipe rails up to 2″ diameter; hardware included
