Racking Extras and Add-ons
With safety at the forefront of everything we do at Stakapal we also manufacture and supply a wide range of extras, add-ons, accessories and other safety and compliance-enhancing products for your racking systems.
As a full manufacturing member of SEMA all our racking solutions including Cantilever Racking and Pallet Racking are designed and manufactured following SEMA and Health & Safety at Work 1974 racking regulations.
Do Stakapal Manufacture Racking Safety Extras?
The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 requires you to:
- Provide safe systems and equipment for using, handling, storing and transporting articles and substances.
- Provide the relevant information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure the health and safety at work of employees.
Health & Safety Inspectors and Environmental Health Officers will actively check for Racking damage on your site.
Racking Safety Products Features & Benefits
Taking the time and effort necessary to implement the additional safety measures to protect your Racking could make the difference between damage which can be quickly resolved, and critical damage which could potentially result in a collapse. Here are some items from our racking safety and protection range:
Racking Safety Barriers
Safety Barriers are designed to absorb the impact in the event of a collision from a Forklift Truck and other Machinery that may be operating in your warehouse or yard. Reduce the risk of a costly repair or replacement with a Racking Safety Barrier whilst also reducing the risk of injury or damage.
Timber Decks
Timber decks create a flat surface on racking arms, making them ideal for storing irregular or loose items.
They enhance stability and prevent materials from slipping through gaps. These decks are especially suited for small or unstable goods that cannot be securely stored on the racking arms alone.
Racking Post Protection
Protective posts are installed at the base of each racking post, designed to shield the original posts from accidental collisions with forklift trucks or other vehicles operating in your warehouse. They work by absorbing any impact and preventing any structural damage, which helps to extend the lifespan of the racking system.
Our Racking Post Protectors are designed for use on concrete floors, are supplied with conical wedge expansion anchor bolts and are simple to install.
Canopy for External Storage
For businesses storing goods outdoors, Stakapal can manufacture and supply custom-built canopies that protect products and materials from the elements.
These canopies shield items such as timber and metal from rain, snow, and direct sunlight, preventing weather-related damage and ensuring materials stay in optimal condition.
Make your accessories stand out! Our Racking Extras and Add-ons can be powder-coated in any colour including safety yellow. Or choose a galvanised finish for harsh environments or external applications.
Arm-End Stops
Arm-End Stops serve as crucial safety measures, preventing items from sliding off racking arms. They are particularly beneficial for long products like timber, copper pipes, and steel beams, ensuring that loads stay secure during storage and handling.
Arm Cross Beam Supports
For heavier loads, Arm Cross Beam Supports are installed between racking arms to increase strength and stability. These supports prevent the arms from bending under significant weight, ensuring long-term structural integrity while holding substantial items.
Timber Batons
Timber Batons are designed to reduce friction between stored products and racking, helping to prevent damage to both. By elevating products slightly, they also facilitate easier handling by forklifts, reducing the risk of puncturing the product or damaging the racking arms during retrieval.
Safety First with Stakapal
Stakapal manufactures purpose-built racking systems that are designed specifically for the needs of that business. By combining components from our Racking Protection range not only is your stock and staff safer, but when it comes to potential accidents your business maintains compliance and your racking system will last.
