Are Rack Bumpers Necessary?

A rack or racking system helps with storage and keeps warehoused products off the ground. A facility can contain several close-packed racks. When machinery runs into a rack, it can trigger a domino effect that causes the entire rack system to tumble. The falling racks can damage goods and equipment, and even cause fatal injury.

A well-installed rack bumper will stop forklifts and other equipment from running into your racks. It’s a useful safety measure for facilities in the logistics, retail, manufacturing, food, and warehousing industry.

The Stinson’s Industrial team can install rack bumpers that meet safety standards and prevent accidents in your workplace. We can also provide you with rack bumper maintenance services to keep your rack system secure and sturdy.

Types of Warehouse Rack Bumpers

Depending on the rack system you have in place, and other factors, we can install one of the following rack bumper types to protect your employees and equipment:

• Pipe Bumper Guards: Pipe bumper guards minimize the risk of injuries, such as cuts and bruises, when people crash into racks. It also reduces the collision impact when a cart or other light equipment rams into a rack.
• Flat Surface Bumper Guards: Flat surface bumper guards use flat foam rubber to protect racks against light impact. This is useful for minimizing damage to items on the rack if there’s a collision.
• Corner Bumper Guards: Corner bumper guards use a soft cushion to protect workers from bruises and cuts when they collide with a rack’s corner.
• Edge Protectors: Edge protectors cover a rack’s sharp edges with a rubber foam to prevent injuries from bumping into the edges.

If you want rack bumpers that protect not just your personnel and equipment, but also your racking system and the goods on it, opt for one of the following:

• Pallet Rack Safety Guard: It shields a rack against accidental damage.
• Pallet Rack Safety Barrier: It uses a barrier to hold the rack in place and stop items from falling off.

Other options are pallet rack safety cages and pallet rack safety fencing.
