2. A Flexible Solution for
Racking Protection
Reliable protection of your racking system is vital to prevent costly accidents and
to ensure the safety of your staff.
A-Safe offer a simple, yet highly effective way to ensure this with a range of racking
protection products designed to suit each application.
All of them are made from a polymer-based material, which incorporates a
built-in memory, enabling it to bounce back into shape, after being hit by
FLTs or other vehicles. In this way, it prevents damage to the
vehicle, the rack and its contents, helping you to save on
expensive repair and stock replacement bills, while
ensuring the highest standards of safety in
all working environments. Benefits
