Understanding the Importance of Accessories
Pallet rack accessories improve the usability, safety, and durability of cantilever racks and pallet racking systems. Below we look at the most common types of accessories and review their primary functions and also how they reduce maintenance costs and increase warehouse safety.
Row Spacers and Their Utilization
Pallet rack row spacers are used to maintain consistent spacing between rows of pallet racks, giving the system proper weight distribution and spacing. They prevent leaning while maintaining true alignment, which is critical for high-density storage systems. These spacers also standardize aisle widths, making it easier for forklifts to navigate seamlessly. Available in a variety of lengths and materials, pallet rack row spacers are a simple, effective way to secure racking systems, particularly in facilities with heavy traffic or irregular layouts.
Column Protectors: An Investment in Safety
Constant movement within warehouses often raises the opportunity for damage to pallet racks. Forklift impacts are a common cause, and pallet rack column protectors provide an effective solution against these impacts – big or small. Designed to shield uprights from collisions, column protectors prevent costly repairs and protect against structural wear. NAWL offers column protectors in durable materials such as steel and high-impact plastic, along with numerous options to fit various racking configurations. Distributors can offer these protectors as an essential safety measure for their customers’ facilities, reducing long-term maintenance costs, maintaining structural integrity and elevating safety throughout the warehouse, too.
Stabilizing Your System with Base Plates and Shims
For racking systems to perform effectively, they must be stable and level. Column base plates increase stability by spreading the load evenly across the floor, improving load-bearing capacity. In facilities with uneven flooring, pallet rack shims are an essential accessory. Adjustable as needed, shims correct surface irregularities, ensuring that racks remain precisely level which reduces the risk of tilting or collapse. Together, base plates and shims improve the overall durability of pallet racks and protect valuable inventory.
Beam Connectors: Ensuring Secure and Versatile Racking
Beam connectors also play a critical role in the structural integrity of pallet racks. Securely attaching horizontal beams to vertical uprights, they prevent rack shifting under heavy loads. Beam connectors come in various sizes and styles, too, and are compatible with a variety of racking systems. Properly installed connectors maintain the rigidity of the racking system, even in warehouses with high turnover or weight-intensive operations. However, it’s important for distributors to emphasize the importance of compatibility and installation to their customers to maintain optimal performance.
Pallet Rack Safety Pins: A Crucial Component
Pallet rack safety pins are small components that provide a significant safety benefit. By preventing beams from dislodging under load, these safety pins help secure even the smallest elements of the racking system. Easy to install and meeting safety compliances across the board, these pins serve as a cost-effective solution for reducing workplace accidents. Offering safety pins alongside other pallet rack accessories ensures that distributors provide complete and reliable storage solutions to their customers.

Customizing Your Pallet Rack Setup
Every warehouse has unique storage requirements, and pallet rack accessories allow businesses to tailor their systems to meet those needs while maintaining safety and improving functionality. For example, combining row spacers with column protectors creates a system that is both stable and resistant to forklift impacts. Adding base plates and shims ensures that racks remain level, even in older facilities with uneven flooring. No matter the combination, these accessories help distributors design adaptable solutions that maximize space, safety, and efficiency.
