The Rack Armour name is synonymous around the world for quality and service, we’ve been revolutionising the pallet racking market for well over 7 years, selling in over 50 countries and manufacturing on 3 continents. Rack Armour has been trusted with protecting the pallet racking of some of the world’s largest blue chip companies, reducing racking damage by as much as 80% or more annually.

With Rack Armour being the market leader it’s understandable others would like to emulate Rack Armour’s

success, this unfortunately has been done by a UK based company using Rack Armour’s glowing customer references and images.  Any “lookalike” products without the Rack Armour trademark shield/name does not perform like the genuine article and the two should not be confused.

Rack Armour is one of the few racking protection products that has been subject to strenuous testing by independent leading consulting engineers (Cardno Pty Ltd), far exceeding front AND side impact safety requirements set by FEM 10.2.02., please note this is a must for any rack protection product.

After its most successful year to date, Rack Armour is now delighted to announce its involvement on the US show 21^st Century Business aired on FOX News and CNBC News, the show highlights the most innovative products in new and existing markets. “The offer was too good to refuse” say’s Jenny Charlton, Director of Rack Armour, “When a show as big as 21^st Century Business asks if you would like to appear on their show, you don’t turn it down”.  The show is scheduled to air around the globe early January, and includes the latest innovations from the warehouse safety industry.

Customers’ comments

Nigel has been 'amazed' by the amount of time, trouble and money he's saved by installing Rack Armour in his operation.  In this centre, 3600 Rack Armour have been installed with only six damaged uprights reported in the last twelve months.

Nigel Madison, Logistics centre Maintenance Manager, B&Q.

“We had the Rack Armour system installed during the new build of our 888,000 sq ft distribution centre, the installation was flawless and now after 5 years, it has saved us tens of thousands of pounds in preventing damage to our uprights.

Just looking at the Rack Armour today you can see it has taken a lot of impacts and is still doing its job.

We have the lowest racking repair costs in the entire group, so I can easily recommend to anyone that it’s a very worthwhile exercise in fitting Rack Armour” Dave Horton, Warehouse Engineer, DHL.

Fitting Instructions For Rack Armour Guards

 Following are the 4 simple steps to fit Rack Armour guards onto your racking: 

1. Tilt the guard forward so that the bottom of the unit is approximately 300 mm clear of the upright and hold at an angle of 45 degrees. This should then leave only the top edge of the guard touching the front face of the upright.

2. Slide one edge of the top of the Rack Armour guard around the side of the frame/upright so that the edge of the guard hooks behind the frame profile. Push the other side around so that the top of the guard clips onto the racking.

3. Ensure the top of the guard has clipped into place. Holding the top of the guard with one hand push the bottom of the guard forward with the other hand until the whole of the guard has clipped onto the frame upright.

4. With the palm of your hand force the bottom edge of the guard across the face of the upright until it clips over the opposite side.
