Pallet Rack Safety Wire Guards & Panels

Pallet rack safety wire guards and panels help prevent products, cartons and other stored materials from falling off warehouse storage racks. Mounted directly to pallet rack uprights, these welded wire mesh panels create a protective barrier between stored inventory and nearby aisles, work areas and equipment.

Midwest Material Handling offers pallet rack wire back panels, side guards and wire mesh enclosure systems for a variety of warehouse applications. Whether you need to protect employees from falling products or secure inventory within an existing rack system, we can help you find the right solution.

Pallet Rack Wire Back Safety Panels

Pallet rack wire back panels are designed to prevent stored products from falling behind the rack and into adjacent aisles or work areas. The panels attach to the rear of existing pallet rack uprights using mounting brackets, creating a rigid protective barrier along the back of the rack.

Constructed from welded steel wire mesh and supported by a steel frame, these panels provide a durable containment solution for warehouse storage systems. Multiple panels can be installed side by side or stacked to create a continuous protective wall.

Wire back panels are especially useful where pallet rack rows face employee walkways, workstations, equipment or other areas that need protection from falling inventory.

Pallet Rack Wire Side Guards

Wire side guards provide additional protection along the ends or sides of pallet rack systems. Like back panels, these guards use welded wire mesh construction to help contain stored products and reduce the chance of materials falling into surrounding areas.

Side guards can be incorporated into an existing rack protection layout or added to specific sections where additional product containment is needed. The appropriate mounting arrangement depends on the rack configuration and the amount of clearance needed around stored loads.

Mounting Options for Pallet Rack Safety Wire Panels

Pallet rack safety wire guards can be configured with different mounting arrangements to accommodate the rack layout and stored loads.

• Flush Mount: Positions the wire panel close to the pallet rack upright
• Offset Mount: Moves the panel away from the upright to provide clearance for pallet or product overhang
• Extended Height Panels: Can be configured to extend above the top rack beam when additional load containment is needed
• Stacked Panels: Multiple panels can be connected vertically to provide additional protection height

The correct mounting arrangement depends on the pallet rack design, load dimensions and available clearance. We can help review your application and identify the appropriate panel and bracket configuration.

Benefits of Pallet Rack Safety Wire Guards & Panels

• Falling Product Protection: Helps prevent cartons, products and other stored materials from falling into warehouse aisles and work areas.
• Employee Safety: Creates a protective barrier between stored inventory and employees working near pallet rack systems.
• Inventory Containment: Helps keep stored products within the rack structure and reduces the risk of damaged or lost merchandise.
• Durable Construction: Welded wire mesh and steel framing provide a rigid protection system.
• Flexible Configurations: Available in different panel sizes and mounting arrangements to accommodate a variety of rack layouts.

Wire Panels or Pallet Rack Safety Netting?

Wire mesh panels and pallet rack safety netting both help protect employees and inventory from falling products, but they serve different applications. Wire mesh panels provide a rigid barrier attached to the pallet rack structure. They are a good option when a fixed, durable protective panel is preferred.

Pallet rack safety netting uses a flexible mesh system that can be configured around different rack layouts. It may be a better fit when a more adaptable containment solution is needed.

The right choice depends on your rack configuration, stored products, available clearance and protection requirements.
