Rack End Barrier (Double Rail)

The Rack End Barrier 200/90 range is the most recent and most popular product in the racking protection range. The barriers are fixed one piece units and are available in single and double rail versions. Both versions can be supplied in lengths from 750 – 2500mm to suit nearly all makes and types of racking installed in either single or double bays. The end posts are based on the design of the 200mm OD A-Safe Bollard products and the single or double horizontal rails between the two posts have a substantial 90 x 90mm section.

Applications and Benefits

The double rail version is the heavier duty product of the two versions. It offers the same benefits and may be used for the same applications as the single rail version of the barrier and like the single rail version is used in warehouse and distribution environments where palletised or un-palletised goods or products are stored on light or heavy duty racking systems.

The addition of the second rail increases the height of the barrier and makes it suitable for providing impact protection and use in areas where vehicles with higher centres of gravity than those that the single rail version of the barrier is designed to be compatible with are in operation. In addition for use with the vehicles listed for the single rail version the double rail version of the barrier is compatible for use in areas where counter balance fork lift trucks up to 4500kg are present.

  Customer Referral

  “We have recently installed A-Fax rack end protectors at our Coventry sequencing centre. This is as a result of continued damage and ineffectiveness of steel corner protection.

  The barriers were both easy to install, and enhance the appearance of the factory. Their robust construction provides excellent protection for the racking, and subsequently reduces plant maintenance cost. Additionally, with no paint to scratch and no chance of corrosion, these barriers continue to look as smart as when first installed”

  Technical Did You Know

  • The fitting of rotating circular wear collars at the bottom of the 200mm OD end posts on both the single and double rail versions of the barrier provides additional impact protection and absorption against glancing impacts from vehicle wheels or low vehicle skirts.
  • Using countersunk fixings, as on the single rail version, prevents both post fixing shear and wheel surface damage when vehicle wheels accidentally pass over the surface of the post base plate.
