Pallet rack protectors that prevent forklift damage and keep racking safe

In busy warehouse settings, the occasional knock from a forklift is almost inevitable—but the right precautions can make all the difference. At AJ Products UK, we offer pallet rack protectors that shield your uprights, end frames and aisle edges from repeated impacts. Easy to install and built for industrial environments, these protectors help extend racking lifespan, reduce repair costs and maintain safer aisles throughout your facility.

Impact-resistant rack protectors that defend your structure where it matters most

Forklift collisions can lead to serious structural issues if left unchecked. That’s why our rack protectors are designed to absorb impact before it reaches your uprights. Manufactured from either heavy-gauge steel or high-performance polymer, these protectors include bolt-down guards, wraparound designs and aisle-end bumpers—all tailored to different racking types and traffic flows. To further reduce risk, many teams equip staff with pallet trucks that offer better manoeuvrability in narrow lanes—cutting down on accidental scrapes and contact.

High-visibility pallet racking protectors for areas with constant movement

Some warehouse zones—like dispatch aisles, docking stations and pick lanes—face nonstop traffic. In these high-risk areas, visibility and durability are key. Our brightly coloured rack protectors don’t just guard against physical damage—they also alert drivers early, reducing the likelihood of impact in the first place. Their presence is a visual cue that helps reinforce safe movement throughout the warehouse. To streamline these busy zones even further, many logistics teams install packing tables nearby, creating clear boundaries between storage, picking and prep activities.

Modular racking protectors for quick retrofitting and layout flexibility

Your racking system won’t stay static—and your protection strategy shouldn’t either. Our modular rack protectors are designed for flexibility, making it easy to retrofit them as your layout evolves. Most options bolt directly to the floor, so you can add coverage where it’s needed without dismantling existing frames. For teams looking to strengthen their overall setup, we also supply pallet racking accessories like beam supports, mesh dividers and label holders—ideal for improving visibility, safety and stock organisation at every level.
