RackGuard Netting Systems

RackGuard netting is a cost-effective, engineered solution designed to make warehouses safer for employees and visitors alike. RackGuard is installed on the back of storage racking to protect aisle ways, work areas and machinery from products that may become dislodged and fall to the ground below.

RackGuard is an engineered “system” consisting of load-rated netting panels, custom engineered offset brackets, engineered frame extensions (when needed), aircraft cable and related rigging hardware. The netting panels are custom fit to accurately protect each and every racking layout. Netting panels that are made-to-measure will provide the safest option for back-of-rack protection. RackGuard netting systems have been designed and tested specifically for industrial racking applications. RackGuard has different netting materials for different load requirements depending on pallet load weights.

Flushmount Rack Netting Systems (RackGuard)

Flushmount RackGuard Netting Systems are designed to protect employees from falling products. The netting of these systems sits flush to the racking system, helping to ensure that no product will fall. Ideal for applications where there is no pallet overhang or product is loaded by hand.

Standard Offset Rack Netting Systems (RackGuard)

RackGuard netting systems typically use engineered offset brackets to run the cables and allow the netting panels to be installed a certain distance from the face of the racking. This allows for pallet/product overhang. Standard offsets have an allowance for 4” or 6” settings, but offsets are available in sizes ranging from 2” up to 12”.

Flue Space Rack Netting Systems (RackGuard)

The flue space between racking systems is often an area that sees a high volume of product falls and damages that workers are unable to access. Our Rack Netting System can be installed within this space to help reduce product loss and keep products from getting mixed up with another pallet load.

Horizontal Rack Netting Systems (RackGuard)

Our horizontal rack netting systems are designed to ensure the safety of workers who have to enter racking bays to access product and are at risk of having a box fall from an upper level. This custom configuration utilizes specific brackets for mounting inside the rack. Out custom horizontal netting brackets mount inside the racking system to hang our standard 2500 lbs pallet net. Custom options are available.

Netting Safety and Regulations in Canada

Our netting panels are treated to meet NFPA 701 standards for fire-retardancy and have been tested and rated in accordance with ANSI A10.11 and OSHA safety standards. This includes the complete system with all of the hardware installed onto a racking system and tests made to simulate a real-case product falls.

To ensure compliance with regulations, we advise following safety net installation standards. This includes obtaining certification from qualified installers or engineers, conducting testing procedures, maintaining thorough records, and providing worker training.

A comprehensive fall protection plan must consider work nature, site or facility conditions, load capacity, and manufacturer specifications. Proper installation, maintenance, and regular inspection are critical for compliance and effectiveness.

Accumulated debris can compromise the functionality of safety nets and create hazards. Work operations should pause promptly to remove debris or any fallen objects to maintain optimal net performance.
