They are used as a pallet racking accessory to provide additional support to extra heavy pallet loads, weak and sagging pallets or non-standard pallet sizes. Spanning across the depth of the frame, pallet support bars slot onto existing beams and sit almost flush with the top of the beam. And in addition to this pallet support bars can also be used to support chipboard decking. 4. Decking for Pallet Racking – Timber, Mesh or Steel Decks Use decking for non standard pallet sizes and to prevent pallet contamination from falling debris. If you have a non standard pallet size then you might want to kit your racking out with decking. Decking enables you to store all pallet types and sizes on a standard warehouse pallet racking system. Depending on what you are storing and the weight of your pallets, you may require timber, wire mesh or steel decks to enable safe storage of awkward loads. 3. Anti Collapse Mesh for Pallet Racking Anti-Collapse Mesh fits onto the back of the rack to provide protection from falling items. It’s fitted to the back of single entry racks in order to provide safety and protection from falling objects. Anti-collapse is usually fitted to racks with walkways or loading bays to the rear in order to minimise the risk of injury should a pallet or loose items from falling. Oh, and another benefit of anti-collapse mesh is that all pallets remain visible and do not impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of sprinkler systems. 2. Pallet Racking Column Guards Protect your pallet racking uprights from forklift truck damage using column guards.
