    Floor-Mount Steel Rack Guards

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rack Guards. Floor-Mount Steel Rack Guards.
    Bolt these guards down in front of pallet rack posts to shield them from vehicle damage. Made of tough steel, they resist deformation and redirect collisions away from uprights in busy warehouse aisles. Bright colors make them easy to spot in active work areas. Install them with wedge anchors for concrete, or your concrete anchor of choice (not included).

    Made from durable plastic, these guards flex to spread force and protect posts while reducing damage to the vehicles that bump them. They mount directly to the rack with no drilling or floor anchors required. Position them anywhere along the upright and stack them as needed. Bright colors make them easy to spot in active work areas.
    Strap On—Secure with two hook and loop straps for a snug, adjustable fit. They work on a range of upright sizes.
    Strap On for Intersecting Beams—A cutout fits uprights with intersecting beams. These guards also fit standard uprights without beams. Flip them to accommodate different beam locations.
    Snap On—Press these guards against an upright to snap the arms around it. Their firm grip holds them steady without straps.
    Magnetic—Secure to uprights with a built-in magnet. These guards are quick to install and reposition, but they may shift if you bump them.

    2 Front Mounting Holes

    Bolt these durable steel guards anywhere along your uprights to shield them from impacts. They’re easier to install than floor-mount guards and more secure than snap- or strap-on guards.
    4 Side Mounting Holes—Often installed next to shelves, these guards have a V-shaped face that deflects forks and pallet edges away from uprights as you load in or out. Secure them to the sides of your upright with the included fasteners.
    2 Front Mounting Holes—Slide the included drop-in T-bolts into the rack’s existing slots and tighten from the front for quick installation. These guards also have a bullnose to help deflect impacts. A mounting hole allows for optional floor anchoring.

    Dual Ended

    Keep warehouse traffic from damaging the ends of your pallet racks. Made from rigid steel, these guards wrap around uprights and form a continuous barrier between them. They mount to the floor rather than the uprights, so the force of a collision won’t transfer to the rack. Their bright yellow color makes them easy to spot. Mount with wedge anchors or other concrete anchors.
