McGee Solves Unique Warehouse Safety Issues with Adrian’s Rack Safety Products
Situation
McGee Storage & Handling looks for unique solutions to safety issues among clients in diverse industries.
“Many of our customers only have an idea of the problem; they want us to provide a solution,” said George Griffeth, Sales Executive for McGee.
Griffeth and members of the McGee staff pursue the safest and most affordable solution for logistics companies and distribution centers.
“We have to provide solutions that evolve with new safety hazards,” said Griffeth.
Challenge
An installation of Rack Safety Straps in one of McGee’s customer’s warehouses. This customer is using the straps to protect the large windows behind the racks from anything falling.
Risk management is becoming more important to warehouse operations each year.
For example, one of McGee’s customers had an accident where a driver drove a company truck out the wrong door of the warehouse…the one without a ramp. To avoid future incidents, the company needed a simple visual barrier to guide traffic in and out of the warehouse.
Another McGee customer needed to provide a physical barrier on top of warehouse racks, prohibiting inventory stacked above 12 feet. While this simple requirement from the local fire marshal could be solved with many products, Griffeth and his team chose Adrian’s Rack Safety Straps.
Solution
To stay ahead of these challenges, McGee relies on a broad range of safety solutions, including traditional metal rack guards and newer, innovative products such as Adrian’s Safety Solutions Rack Safety Straps.
In contrast to traditional safety solutions, Adrian’s Safety Straps serve as lean, visual barriers to help avoid warehouse accidents. From warehouse logistics markers to rack height restrictions, Adrian’s straps serve as a practical solution to unique warehouse safety issues.
“The most important value of the Rack Safety Strap, besides the price, is its versatility,” added Griffeth. “Although we are using Adrian’s safety products for traditional rack push-through prevention, it is amazing how many practical problems it can solve.”
“We even use these straps to prevent dock door damage,” added Griffeth.
Metal wiring is sometimes several times the cost of Rack Safety Straps, for the same outcome. In addition, the Pallet Rack Safety product line does not need any tools or retrofitting and installs in seconds.
“Now that we have this product in our toolkit, we are finding new solutions to new problems, and doing so at more affordable price than traditional solutions.”

It is important to understand that the dynamics in warehousing sector is different and the decision of setting up the warehouse at the right location is a make or break deal for any such investment.
