Three points for heavy-duty pallet rack to take anti-collision protection

Heavy-duty shelves store heavy goods, and usually mechanical access operations are adopted. If forklifts and other machinery are not operated properly, it is easy to scratch or collide with the shelves, causing certain damage to the shelves. In order to avoid accidents, it is very necessary to take anti-collision protection measures for heavy-duty shelves. Below, the editor will share with you how to take anti-collision protection measures for heavy-duty shelves.

1. Set up obvious signs

The yellow line can be used on the ground of the passage to mark the forklift's route, so that the forklift can travel along a fixed route, which can effectively avoid forklifts from scratching or colliding with shelves along the way.

2. Install rack protection

In order to prevent forklifts and other machinery from directly impacting the shelves, anti-collision equipment can be installed in front of or around the shelves. Common anti-collision equipment includes plastic rack protectors, guardrails, etc., which are fixed in front of or on the edge of the shelves. In addition to the anti-collision function, the anti-collision equipment also has a warning function. There are bright colors such as yellow, black, red and white to choose from. You can choose a color that is different from the shelf.

3. Strengthen safety training for machine drivers

Rack protection can effectively prevent scratches and absorb and dissipate the energy of impact when it is hit by machinery. However, if the impact of machinery such as forklifts is very strong, even with anti-collision equipment, it will cause great damage to the racks. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen safety training for drivers, reduce speed when approaching the racks, and be careful when storing and retrieving goods to avoid damage to heavy racks. If the passage is narrow, it is necessary to hire a professional driver.
