Protect End of Row Pallet Rack from Equipment Strikes
End Row Guards
Custom Manufactured Steel Rack Guards
Pallet rack at the end of a row may be in the path of danger, but you don’t have to leave it vulnerable. Send in the Guards! End row guards are specifically designed to protect the bottom of your rack systems from equipment strikes. The guards are bolted to the ground, not the rack, to absorb impact while protecting the system safely. The unique shape is what separates end row guards from column guards.
End row guards wrap around the front of the column and then extend down the length of the upright to protect the horizontal strut and rear column. Typically the guards are painted safety yellow to make them easy to spot… and avoid.
Use end row guards for any pallet rack system design, including selective, drive-in, pallet flow, or push-back. The Apex design and engineering team will work with you to build the best system to meet your needs and ensure it is protected from the effects of a busy warehouse environment.

Pallet Rack Design - Built-in Safety
When designing a pallet racking system, consider how the rack will function within your facility and how warehouse equipment, vehicles, and personnel will interface with it. It is more cost-effective to minimize downtime and injuries by adequately equipping your rack system with smart safety elements than to pay for serious damage and injuries.
