Description · Rack Protection Barrier
The protection barrier is an essential safety element to protect your facilities. Its main function is to absorb impacts from moving machinery or vehicles, thereby safeguarding the integrity of storage structures and personnel safety. Made from a robust steel tube of Ø 75 × 3 mm and measuring 100 × 50 cm, this yellow protection barrier offers high resistance to moderate impacts, becoming a key investment to prevent damage and ensure operational continuity in your warehouse or workshop.
This heavy-duty rack protection barrier is specifically designed without shelves or storage levels, focusing entirely on structural defence rather than holding weight. Since it features 0 shelf levels and zero load capacity for storing boxes, it serves as a dedicated floor safeguard. Implementing a sturdy rack protection barrier in busy facilities gives Irish warehouse managers total peace of mind, absorbing direct impacts from moving machinery and preventing severe damage to essential storage systems, equipment, and passing staff. It represents the ultimate solution for proactive impact absorption across high-traffic industrial zones.
Measuring 100 x 50 cm with a unit weight of 9.35 kg, this ground-level rack protection barrier fits seamlessly along busy pedestrian pathways, around vulnerable frame columns, and near forklift transit routes. Because it has no adjustable shelf tiers to alter, this fixed unit acts as a physical shield protecting ground space without obstructing workflows. Positioning a reliable rack protection barrier at critical points ensures that materials, pallets, and floor-stored items remain safe from accidental collisions, keeping operations running smoothly across Irish workshops.
Constructed from a robust Ø 75 x 3 mm steel tube, this rack protection barrier provides structural strength to withstand repeated bumps from moving machinery. The straightforward installation process allows quick anchoring directly to concrete floors in traffic aisles or restricted zones, requiring no specialized tools for assembly. Integrating a heavy-duty rack protection barrier into your layout reinforces the entire facility infrastructure, absorbing impact energy to safeguard columns, perimeter walls, and working personnel during daily material handling tasks.
Finished in a bright yellow coating, this high-visibility rack protection barrier immediately alerts equipment operators to potential hazard zones, significantly reducing accidental collisions. For facilities requiring colour-coded safety zones or alternative visual indicators, the range also includes an orange finish option. Choosing this yellow rack protection barrier ensures clear visual awareness across dark stockrooms or active loading bays, maintaining maximum site safety while complementing other physical protection units throughout your facility.
For industrial warehouses, busy commercial stockrooms, and active workshops, this yellow rack protection barrier is the ideal choice over its orange counterpart when maximum visual contrast is required against concrete flooring. While both models deliver identical structural defense, the vivid yellow finish provides superior warning visibility in fast-paced environments. Installing this dependable rack protection barrier ensures uninterrupted operational continuity, saving your Irish business from costly structural repairs and maintaining high safety standards across all working areas.

Applicable regulations in Ireland · Rack Protection Barrier · Yellow
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.
