Racking protector

A-Safe has helped cut costs at
DHL’s warehouse in Livingston
with the installation of a new-style
racking protector system.

As a major distribution site for
Iceland frozen foods, the 300,000ft2
warehouse is equipped throughout
with extensive racking which needs
protection from forklift trucks and
other vehicles.

DHL had previously used
conventional metal racking systems,
but had found them to be costly,
especially in terms of repairs
following accidents.

The company took the decision to
trial A-Safe’s 200OD with 90×90
single rail rack end barrier. This
proved so successful in cutting
damage bills that DHL has now
embarked on a long term
programme to install the system
throughout the warehouse.
