Product Information
Full details
Designed for warehouse managers and logistics personnel, these orange metal corner guards provide a critical layer of structural defense for pallet racking systems against daily forklift and pallet truck impacts. While they significantly extend the lifespan of your racking by absorbing kinetic energy from maneuvering equipment, it is important to note that the set does not include the necessary floor mounting bolts, requiring separate acquisition for installation.

FAQs
What type of floor bolts should I use?
You should use heavy-duty M12 or M16 sleeve or through-bolts suitable for concrete, depending on the diameter of your pre-drilled holes.
Can these be used outdoors?
While these are metal, they are designed for internal warehouse use. If used outdoors, you may need to apply a weather-resistant anti-corrosion coating.
Will these fit any racking system?
These are sized for standard pallet racking. Please measure your specific rack uprights to ensure the 18cm width and depth are sufficient to cover the upright completely.
Are the bolts included?
No, fixing bolts are not included. You must purchase appropriate masonry bolts based on your floor type.
Can I paint them a different color?
Yes, but we recommend maintaining the high-visibility orange finish to comply with standard warehouse safety signaling.
Do I need special tools for installation?
You will need a hammer drill, a masonry drill bit, and a socket wrench or impact driver to tighten the floor anchors.
Troubleshooting
Guard moves slightly after impact
The floor anchors have likely loosened. Tighten the bolts or replace them with higher-torque masonry anchors.
Guard is heavily dented or bent
The metal has exceeded its yield strength. Remove the guard to prevent obstruction and install a replacement to maintain safety compliance.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable metal material resists deformation
- High-visibility color improves warehouse safety
- Easy to install with pre-drilled base plates
- Provides essential protection against forklift damage
- Standardized size fits most common pallet racking
Cons
- Fixing bolts not included in the packaging
- Limited to corner mounting applications
- Requires floor space for bolt-down installation
- Heavy weight may require two people for safe handling
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves securing the guard to the concrete floor using high-tensile masonry bolts. 1. Position the guard against the racking upright, ensuring it sits flush against both sides. 2. Mark the floor through the pre-drilled holes in the base plate. 3. Use a rotary hammer drill to bore holes into the concrete floor matching the diameter of your chosen anchors. 4. Secure the guard using appropriate heavy-duty floor bolts.
For care, perform quarterly visual inspections to ensure the bolts haven't loosened due to vibration. If a guard sustains a significant impact, inspect it for structural deformation; replace it immediately if it no longer sits flush, as it will no longer provide uniform protection.
