Protection in high bay areas
Protecting employees from falling while working in high-bay areas, a pallet-flow pick-module swing gate is ideal for picking bays with multiple deep pallets in which pallet flow prohibits the use of dual gate safety devices. The gates fit into all manufacturers' rack, are easily assembled and are 42 inches in height with various widths available. Hinge brackets attach to existing rack and the gates then attach to the brackets. When pallet is pushed into position on pallet flow rails, the gates with strong torsion springs open automatically and close automatically once the pallet flows into its picking position.

Prevent top shelf load spills
Prevent accidental load spills from the top shelf of pallet racks with the Cargo-Shield, a wire mesh panel restraint system that locks to pallet rack frames with simple latch fittings. The panels attach to frames by means of an offset upright post, which allows users to install the system without tools and easily move the panel up and down. In the "up" position, the panel guards act as a barrier to prevent load spills. In the "down" position, stockpickers have full access to products stored on the upper shelf of the rack.

The sheet rack systems are available in four models with four to eight drawers each. Drawer widths are 50 and 62 inches, lengths are 98, 122 and 146 inches and heights are between 4 and 12 inches.
