Pallet support bars are essential components in the complex warehouse management ecosystem, enhancing the efficiency and safety of storage systems. This comprehensive guide explores the various types of pallet support bars available, their benefits, and why they are crucial for modern warehouse operations.

What are pallet support bars?

Pallet support bars are designed to reinforce pallet racking systems, providing additional support and stability for stored goods. These bars are placed between the racking beams to help distribute the weight of palletised goods more evenly. This not only prevents the pallets from sagging or breaking but also increases the overall safety of the storage system.

Types of Pallet Support Bars

Standard Pallet Support Bars

Standard Pallet Support Bars are suited to any warehouse aiming to enhance the functionality and safety of pallet racking systems. These bars support heavy palletised loads, damaged pallets, or non-standard pallets.

Their design allows for seamless integration within existing pallet racking systems, fitting onto beam tops effortlessly. They are finished in traffic grey (RAL 7042) powder coating, with other colours available upon request, offering durability and a clean look that lasts. Ideal for various industries, these bars ensure safety by stabilising pallets, thus preventing accidents and enhancing overall warehouse operations.

Fork Entry Bars

Fork Entry Bars, or Raised Pallet Support Bars as they are also known, offer a unique solution that elevates the standard pallet support functionalities. These bars are raised above the beam tops to facilitate easier forklift tine access, making them perfect for environments with frequent loading and unloading.

Their robust design supports both palletised and non-palletised goods, enhancing operational efficiency and safety. The raised feature not only simplifies handling but also increases the safety and versatility of storage, making these bars the perfect solution in any active warehouse or manufacturing setting.

Heavy-duty Garment Hanging Rails

Heavy-duty Garment Hanging Rails transform standard pallet racking into versatile garment storage. These rails replace traditional box sections with a circular tube, accommodating hangers smoothly and ensuring garments are stored without creasing.

This modification allows for the dual-purpose use of the racking system, enabling both pallet storage and garment hanging in the same bay, which optimises both space and functionality. Ideal for retail warehouses and distribution centres, these rails offer a cost-effective solution to expand storage capabilities and improve inventory management within diverse storage environments.

As you can see, pallet support bars are not just accessories; they are integral components that can enhance the operational efficiency and safety of warehouse storage systems.
