February 1st 2007 The financial implications of pallet positions being out of use due to damaged uprights and the cost of replacing large sections of racking due to damage from forklifts are claimed to be a thing of the past thanks to HiLo-PSS' Sacrificial Leg. Providing a cost-effective and time saving solution to damaged frames, the Sacrificial Leg is a removable section, fitted to the bottom of the front upright. It can be quickly and easily replaced without dismantling the frame or removing the pallets. Damage to racking is an unavoidable consequence of forklifts operating within a confined. However, in over 90% of cases the damage is restricted to the first 1000mm of the upright frame. Damage to uprights can lead to expensive repairs, and, if neglected, can result in accidents from collapsing frames and falling pallets. HiLo-PSS' Sacrificial Leg is a rolled, hollow section with a heavy-duty base plate for transmitting the load from the upright through the floor. A length of metal in the same finish as the front upright is bolted to the Sacrificial Leg ensuring the line of the upright is continued to the floor and allowing a beam to be installed in any position.
