Rack Armour® Medium Upright Racking Protectors - Safety Yellow

The Standard Rollout Combination for UK Warehouses

If you're protecting a whole site rather than a single bay, you tend to standardise. One size that fits the majority of your uprights, one colour that matches your existing safety infrastructure, ordered in volume and rolled out aisle by aisle. The Rack Armour® Medium Upright Protector in Safety Yellow is that standard combination — the most common upright width on UK pallet racking (Euro B, up to 100mm front-facing) finished in the classic industrial Safety Yellow that aligns with most existing warehouse signage, bollards, and floor markings.

It's the version most procurement teams order in bulk when standardising rack protection across a site, and the version most facilities managers specify when they want consistent yellow throughout the building rather than a fluorescent finish that visually competes with existing kit.

Why Most Sites Standardise on Safety Yellow Rather Than Hi-Vis

Both colour finishes use the identical HDPE shell, foam core, and patented Rack Armour® design — protective performance is the same. Where they differ is how they integrate into a site over the long term:

• Safety Yellow holds its visual consistency across the warehouse. The shade matches the standard industrial yellow used on bollards, kerb protection, line marking, hazard panels, and most existing PPE-adjacent signage. For a coordinated look, it's the simpler choice.
• Hi-Vis Yellow is a brighter fluorescent finish, designed to draw the eye in lower-light conditions like cold stores and dim picking aisles. It stands out — but it can also visually compete with surrounding yellow infrastructure.

For most warehouses doing a phased rollout, Safety Yellow is the default specification because it integrates cleanly with the rest of the site's safety palette. Hi-Vis tends to get specified for specific zones (cold storage, low-light aisles) rather than as the building standard.

Standing 600mm Tall, Sized for the Most Common UK Racking

The Rack Armour® Medium fits front-facing uprights up to 100mm wide (Euro B), which is the most common upright profile across UK pallet racking systems — including standard Dexion, Link 51, Mecalux, and most equivalent profiles. At 600mm tall, it covers the strike zone where forklift damage typically occurs, without interfering with the lowest beam level.

The Same Proven Performance as the Rest of the Range

• Patented HDPE outer shell with high-density energy-absorbing foam core
• Independently verified 80% reduction in racking damage
• Clip-on installation by hand — no anchors, drilling, or contractors
• Won't rust, corrode, or distort the way painted steel guards do
• Lifts off in seconds for the rack inspections required under FEM and HSE guidance
• Independently tested to FEM 10.2.16

Built for Long-Term Service

Rack Armour® is rated to -40°C, resistant to moisture, corrosion, and most industrial solvents, and engineered to absorb repeat impacts across a 15+ year service life. One fitment typically protects the upright through multiple strikes before any replacement is needed — and the standard pigment finish in Safety Yellow tends to retain its appearance well over time, without the gradual UV-fade that can affect fluorescent finishes in long-term sunlit applications.

Specifications

Where the Medium (Euro B) Size Fits

Euro B 100mm is the workhorse size of UK pallet racking. You'll find it on the standard racking used across the bulk of distribution centres, fulfilment operations, manufacturing stores, retail back-of-house, food and beverage warehousing, and most general industrial storage. If your site runs a mix of upright profiles, the medium Safety Yellow is usually the volume order — with smaller (Euro A) and larger (Euro C, D, E) sizes filling specialist gaps.

The Easy Choice for Site-Wide Standardisation

If you're rolling out rack protection across a full warehouse and want one specification that covers the majority of your uprights and matches your existing yellow safety palette, this is it.

What's the difference between Safety Yellow and Hi-Vis Yellow Rack Armour®? The protective performance is identical — both colours use the same HDPE shell, foam core, and patented design. The visual difference is the shade. Safety Yellow is the classic industrial warning yellow that matches most standard warehouse bollards, floor markings, and signage, and is the most common rollout choice for site-wide standardisation. Hi-Vis Yellow is brighter and more fluorescent, suited to lower-light environments like cold stores or specific high-contrast zones.

Do Safety Yellow Rack Armour® protectors fade over time? The standard pigment used in Safety Yellow holds its appearance well over a 15+ year service life. Fluorescent finishes — including Hi-Vis Yellow — can be more susceptible to gradual UV fade in heavily sunlit applications, which is one reason most internal warehouses standardise on Safety Yellow.

What size pallet racking does the medium Rack Armour® protector fit? The medium (Euro B) size fits standard pallet racking uprights with a front-facing width of up to 100mm. This covers the majority of UK pallet racking systems, including standard Dexion, Link 51, Mecalux, and most equivalent profiles.

How do I choose between Euro A (Small), Euro B (Medium), and Euro C (Large)? Measure the front-facing width of your racking upright in millimetres. Up to 87mm = Euro A / Small. Above 87mm and up to 100mm = Euro B / Medium. Above 100mm and up to 110mm = Euro C / Large.

Do you offer bulk discounts on site-wide orders? Yes. Bulk discount pricing is available for site-wide rack protection rollouts. See the bulk discount tab on the product page or contact our sales team directly with your quantity requirements for a project quote.

Does it really clip on without floor fixings? Yes. Each Rack Armour® protector slides onto the upright and clips into place by hand. No bolts, anchors, drilling, or contractor visits are needed, which is why it's the default choice for full-site rollouts and bay-by-bay phased installations.

How much damage does Rack Armour® prevent? Independent testing shows an 80% reduction in racking damage when Rack Armour® is fitted. The HDPE shell deflects the impact while the foam core absorbs the energy before it reaches the upright structure.

Is Rack Armour® FEM tested? Yes. The product has been independently tested to FEM 10.2.16, the European standard for racking impact protection, supporting compliance with current warehouse safety best practice.

Will it work in cold storage? Yes. Rack Armour® is rated to operate at temperatures down to -40°C, suitable for ambient, chilled, and frozen storage environments.

Can I add my company branding to the protectors? Yes. Rack Armour® ships with plain branded labels by default. Add a note at checkout if you'd like your own company details printed on the label.
