Rack Armour® – Ultimate Pallet Racking Protection That Absorbs Impact
Forklift and MHE impacts are major causes of pallet racking damage. They can lead to expensive repairs, downtime, and serious safety risks. Rack Armour® is a reliable pallet racking protection system that absorbs and deflects impact energy, safeguarding racking uprights where damage is most likely to occur.
Unlike traditional steel guards that transfer force into the rack and the floor, Rack Armour® protectors clip directly onto the upright. They use a patented energy-absorbing design to protect what matters most: your racking structure, stock, and people.
Features & Benefits
Patented Design
- The HDPE outer shell deflects impacts, while the high-density foam core absorbs energy

- It helps prevent rack collapse, product loss, and safety incidents
Outperforms Metal Racking Protectors
- Rack Armour® absorbs and diffuses impact energy instead of transferring it to the rack leg
- It won’t bend, rust, or deform like steel guards
- The protectors can be unclipped or slid up for rack inspections

Why Rack Armour® Is Different
Unlike steel racking guards that transfer impact back into the rack or floor, Rack Armour® absorbs and dissipates impact energy.
The patented HDPE shell and foam core protect the upright, while the clip-on design eliminates the need for floor fixings. This speeds up installation and allows for easy removal for inspections. It’s smarter, safer, and built to last.
