Deflect the force of forklifts
April 1st 2008 To protect pallet
racking uprights
against structural
damage, materials
handling and storage
company, Nene is
introducing a
moulded protector
called Rack Deflektor.
The protective
bumper lessens the
force of fork truck
collision, reducing
damage to
operators, vehicles
and racking frames.
A high visibility, nonfading
yellow
polyethylene outer
shell with rubber insert
shock absorber means the
deflector can reform itself
after impact without
denting and also will not
rust.
The fluorescent colour
aims to actually prevent
impact from occurring in the
first place by signaling to
operators the protector's
location and providing
boundaries. However, if a
collision does occur, the
Rack Deflektor reduces the
impact, minimising damage
to the structural integrity of
racks and floors which could
lead to costly repairs as well
as health & safety issues. No
fixings are required and
there is no need for floor
drilling as the deflector is
attached to racking by a
serrated clip.
For cleaning, inspection
or racking repositioning, the
deflector can be easily
removed, and is waterproof
and chemical resistant. The
moulded protector is
constructed to perform in
temperature ranges down to
-35°C, and is 'slim fit' for
minimum bay and aisle
intrusion. More articles from Nene Group Plc: |
