Keep your pallet racking systems in perfect condition and extend the lifespan of your equipment with the L-Shaped Post Protector. This safety element is essential for preventing accidental impacts from forklifts, pallet trucks, or other machinery vehicles on the vertical posts of your shelving. By absorbing the force of the blow, the protector deflects energy and avoids deformations or breaks that would compromise the stability and load capacity of the entire storage structure.
Installing these protectors is a proactive measure that will save you money in the long run. Instead of facing emergency repairs or complete replacements of shelving modules, investing in these high-visibility orange accessories ensures a safer and more efficient work environment. They are ideal for large distribution centers as well as workshops or garages where maneuvering space is limited and the risk of collision is higher. Furthermore, their striking orange color makes them easy to locate and helps delineate passageways.

Applicable regulations in Ireland
Pallet racking and forklift operation
In Ireland, pallet racking in a forklift-served warehouse is work equipment under Part 2, Chapter 2 of the General Application Regulations 2007 (S.I. No. 299/2007), implementing the EU Work Equipment Directive (now Directive 2009/104/EC). installed and located correctly (Reg. 28); stabilised by clamping or some other means where necessary for safety (Reg. 33), in practice erected as per the manufacturer’s instructions with the uprights anchored to the floor; maintained throughout its working life (Reg. 31); and inspected by a competent person after installation and re-assembly, then periodically and by special inspection after an accident, a modification or any other exceptional event, with records kept for 5 years (Reg. 30). Traffic routes must be dimensioned for the number of users and the type of undertaking, pedestrians given sufficient safety clearance where trucks share them, and areas where objects could fall clearly indicated and access controlled (Reg. 14). Health and Safety Authority guidance asks for the maximum safe load prominently marked on all racks, racking checked regularly for damage and uprights protected from impact; its Code of Practice on the Safe Use of Industrial Trucks adds that features of the operating area such as racking should be clearly marked and protected against accidental damage. EN 15635, the European standard on the use and maintenance of storage equipment, is a technical reference for organising those checks, not a legal obligation.
