What’s the Best Safety Solution for My Facility’s Work Areas?

Dri-Eaz Legend Brands using Fixed Rack Safety Nets

Choosing the best safety solution for your walkways and work areas is extremely important. Without the proper solution, your stock may fall into a work space, potentially injuring your employees.

But not just any safety solution will do. If your safety solution is cumbersome to install or doesn’t fit in with your day-to-day operations, it won’t accomplish the job of keeping your employees and inventory safe.

Rack Safety Solutions to Prevent Falling Items

Preventing falling objects from being introduced into high traffic areas is a must for every facility. Therefore, industrial safety netting is one of the best solutions for keeping stock on the shelves and personnel safe working below storage areas. When evaluating a safety barrier, ask yourself the following:

• How long will installation of a pallet safety system take?
• How often will I need to access the items on those bays?
• And how difficult will it be if I need to access those items?

Most warehouses and distribution centers are looking for simple safety solutions that are easy to use, don’t require a massive installation downtime, are easy to remove to access inventory, and won’t break the bank.

The best solution for preventing falling items from entering your work areas depends on the types of inventory. Are there loose items? Are there some items on pallets?

That’s where we come in! All of our rack safety products, including our safety nets, are simple to install and remove in seconds for easy access to items on your shelving.

Which Front-of-the-Rack Safety Product is Best for Me?

Read through the list of products below to see what solution will best suit your needs.

• • Fixed Rack Safety Net
    Attach the Fixed Rack Safety Net to the front of the rack to prevent items from falling into a work area or walkway. Plus, they are perfect for back-of-the-rack protection to keep stock on the shelves, rather than in your longitudinal flue space.

• • Sliding Rack Safety Net
    We designed the sliding net to protect work areas and allow for easy pick-and-pack operations. In this video, you can see how the net easily slides to the side for easy bay picking, then slides back in place for ultimate protection.

• • Rack Safety Straps
    Rack Safety Straps are typically used for the back of the rack but can work well in the front of the rack for larger objects, too. These straps act as a barrier to keep large, palletized items from falling into a work area. Some customers prefer straps versus a net to hold back larger items, as demonstrated in this photo from Lift Power.

• • Rack Safety Cables
    Rack Safety Cables are perfect for the retail environment. They add a high level of safety to your in-store warehouse storage racking by keeping product from tipping into the aisle while still providing good product visibility. Large retailers selling everything from mattresses to lumber enjoy using these to keep customers and employees safe.
