Heavy-Duty Horizontal Strut
A heavy-duty horizontal strut, also known as a rub rail, may not be the yellow safety guard, but it is an important pallet rack safety feature that can be built right into the rack design for additional end-of-aisle strike protection. This unique strut is typically used for rack that will see a tremendous amount of forklift traffic as it is useful for guarding the rack frame from bending or twisting if impacted by warehouse equipment.
Heavy-duty horizontal struts are made of heavy steel sections and are bolted or welded across the full width of the row. Additional sections can be added for greater protection.
