The synthetic rubber RackDefenders are proving invaluable in those environments where heavy duty articulated trucks have been used in order to fit more pallets into a warehouse. The articulated truck is a very popular way to create a higher density storage in a fixed footprint warehouse by reducing the size of the non-storage dimensions i.e. stacking and transverse aisles. Unfortunately aisles can often be reduced to such a point where any slight mistake by a driver can cause damage to the racking that exceeds the SEMA recommended tolerances producing unsafe and often dangerous pallet locations.
RackDefenders, when used in conjunction with traditional steel guards, can reduce the effect of such impacts because of its absorptive and dissipation characteristics.
For unique extra heavy duty protection, the RackDefender is inserted behind a new or an existing column guard.
The RackDefender behind the column guard works in two important ways; stopping the column guard from working loose when impacted and it absorbs and deforms under load thus dissipating the energy safely.
In many applications to date, the RackDefender has been noticeable in saving both the cost and inconvenience of upright replacement.
