FAQs - Rack Armour


Q: Rack Armour is manufactured from plastic. How can this be better than traditional column guards?


A: Rack Armour is manufactured from no ordinary plastic but HDPE (High Density Polyethylene). One major benefit of HDPE is that it is virtually unbreakable to impacts at temperatures above 5ºC and remains extremely tough and resilient at temperatures as low as -40ºC. It is also exceptionally resistant to abrasion with its low friction surface, and will outlast steel or other hard materials in a corrosive or moist atmosphere. Rack Armour will not rust, buckle or tear.

Q: Rack Armour fits directly onto the rack upright and reduces direct visual inspections. Is this a problem?


A: Not at all. A line of site inspection is possible due to the fact that a smaller rear lateral portion of the upright was designed to be left visible for inspection purposes as is the ability to see the internal/rear section of the upright. The guard can slide up for a visual inspection.

Q: Is Rack Armour easy to fit?


A: Rack Armour does not require any separate fixings or fastenings and is installed in less than 10 seconds. How so? Rack Armour’s properties enable it to be securely ‘clipped‘ on and around your racking uprights.

Q: What impact does Rack Armour have on the environment?


A: Rack Armour has a very a positive impact on the environment. Rack Armour’s polymer outer shell is 100% recyclable, meaning we have one of the greenest racking safety products in the world. Rack Armour not only gives you superior protection at a competitive price, but also gives you the benefits reducing your carbon footprint and costs by 16 times due to it’s light weight.
