Dematic Colby Rear Upright Protect-a-Rack racking protection

Dematic has launched a Colby Rear Upright Protect-a-Rack which is designed to enhance safety levels in Australian and New Zealand warehouses and distribution centres.

The rear upright protector builds on Colby’s existing Protect-a-Rack, which protects the front side of storage racking uprights by eliminating any catch points as pallets are being placed into or retrieved from the storage system, and deflecting any forklift impact forces.

The rear upright protection was added following reports from customers that although their front uprights bear the brunt of most damage, they were still experiencing damage to rear uprights. This damage was most commonly due to forklift drivers pushing a pallet too far into the ground level storage bay, causing it to strike the rear upright.

The system is now capable of fully protecting racking from front to back.
