RackGuard
01 April 2016
The RackGuard fixes to leg racking and offers unbeatable protection and reinforcement for these vital structures.
The RackGuard is the next generation of leg racking protection, offering a host of never-before-seen innovations to protect
A scientific design process brings a host of world-first features: compression hinges ensure RackGuards securely grip rack legs and maintain a constant state of compression. A centralising rubber lug fits the product centrally to any size of rack leg. Ten frictional grip points offer enhanced overall grip to any rack leg. Specially-designed front impact absorption transfers energy around the rack leg protection rather than through the actual racking and side impact absorption dissipates forces through the patented iFlex material, called Memaplex, before reforming to its original shape.
Add to these impressive new features A-Safe standards such as installation efficiency, high visibility, a vastly reduced need for replacement products, no corrosion, flaking or toxicity and next to no manpower maintenance costs and you have a world-leading product offering a world-class return in investment, as well as an above-and-beyond adherence to modern Health & Safety standards.
The new product has been rigorously FEA-tested and TÜV-approved and certified, with tests showing zero deflection on the racking after five impacts of 400 Newtons. This means the RackGuard offers a five-fold safety improvement on existing racking protection.
