Does My Customers’ Warehouse Need Anti-Collapse Mesh for Racking?

The answer to “Does My Customers’ Warehouse Need Anti-Collapse Mesh for Racking?” is an easy one…

If your customer operates a warehouse, they will know the risks that come with storing goods at height. Falling stock is one of the most common causes of accidents in warehouse environments. According to RIDDOR, thousands of incidents every year are linked to moving or falling objects, putting both employees and stock at risk. Many leading industry bodies, including HSE, identify anti-collapse mesh for racking as a recommended safety measure.

The good news is that protecting workforces and stock is straightforward with the right system. The rackGUARDIAN™ anti-collapse mesh solution from QTS is designed to provide robust protection, simple installation, and full compliance with warehouse safety standards.

What is Anti-Collapse Mesh for Racking?

Anti-collapse mesh for racking is a system of framed mesh panels fixed to the rear or sides of pallet racking using safety brackets. The panels create a physical barrier that prevents pallets or loose goods from falling into warehouse aisles.

By installing pallet racking mesh panels, you not only protect staff but also prevent costly product damage and reduce downtime caused by accidents

Why Warehouses Need Anti-Collapse Mesh

Protect People

The Labour Force Survey estimates that over 40,000 workers experience incidents with falling objects each year. While no system can eliminate every risk, pallet racking safety panels provide a reliable barrier that dramatically reduces the likelihood of accidents.

Protect Stock

Falling pallets rarely survive intact. By stopping goods from falling from height, rackGUARDIAN™ reduces stock damage, lost revenue, and operational disruption.

Stay Compliant

HSE and SEMA guidance both highlight the importance of physical safety barriers. By adding anti-collapse mesh, you ensure that racking systems meet recognised standards of warehouse safety.
