OSHA 1910.176 & ANSI MHE-1 Racking Safety

Pallet racks store thousands of pounds per level. Forklift side-swipes damage upright columns, reducing load capacity or causing catastrophic collapse. End-cap guards protect uprights from impacts, maintaining rack integrity and preventing load drops.

Upright Column Protection

Steel guards wrap around end uprights. Absorb forklift impacts without deforming uprights or reducing load rating.

OSHA 1910.176 Compliance

Guards meet OSHA material handling equipment standards. Documented protection supports facility safety compliance.

Load Rating Maintained

Impact-rated design does not reduce rack load capacity. Protected racks maintain original weight limits.

Catastrophic Collapse Prevention

Column damage prevention stops cascade failures. Protects personnel and products from falling loads.

Retrofit Installation

Guards bolt to existing rack uprights. Retrofit does not require rack replacement or production downtime.

High-Visibility Striping

Yellow/black marking ensures operator awareness. Striping visible under warehouse lighting.
