Rack Armour® Installation Tool - Suitable for Large to Extra Large Rack Armour

Faster, Easier Fitting for Larger Rack Armour® Protectors

The Rack Armour® Installation Tool is a purpose-built fitting arm and hook system designed for installing Rack Armour® Large (Euro C), XL (Euro D), and XXL (Euro E) upright racking protectors quickly and consistently. The larger sizes use stiffer HDPE shells with tighter clip tensions — that's what gives them their secure, won't-fall-off fit after impact, but it also means fitting them by hand can be slow and physically demanding, especially across a site-wide rollout.

This tool gives you the leverage to clip a Large, XL, or XXL protector onto a racking upright in seconds, reduces manual handling strain on installers, and produces a consistent, properly-seated fit every time. For warehouses fitting hundreds of protectors across a phased rollout, it pays for itself quickly in saved labour.

When You Need This Tool

• Site-wide rollouts. Fitting dozens or hundreds of larger-size protectors by hand is slow and tiring. The fitting tool dramatically reduces installation time per upright and keeps installers fresh across a multi-day project.
• Larger upright sizes. Euro C, D, and E protectors have stiffer clip tension by design. The tool gives you the leverage to seat them properly without forcing them.
• H&S-conscious installs. Repetitive bending and forcing protectors onto uprights creates manual handling exposure across a long rollout. The fitting tool reduces strain and supports better installation ergonomics.
• Rolling stock replacement. If you're swapping out protectors that have absorbed multiple impacts over their service life, the tool makes both removal and refitting faster.

What's Included and What's Not

This listing is for the installation tool only. Rack Armour® upright protectors are sold separately and are not included with the tool. If you're placing an order for a full rollout, you can add the tool, the protectors, and any other rack protection products to a single order — and we'll quote project pricing where the volume supports it.

Built for Repeat Warehouse Use

The fitting tool is designed for continuous site use across the kind of multi-day install projects typical of warehouse rollouts. It's a one-time purchase that supports the installation of hundreds or thousands of protectors over its working life, making it a sensible addition to any project where you're protecting more than a handful of larger uprights.

Add to Your Rack Armour® Project Order

If you're installing Rack Armour® Large, XL, or XXL protectors across a warehouse, this tool is the single most useful accessory you can add to the order. It's especially valuable for facilities teams installing protectors with their own staff rather than contractors. Order alongside your protectors today, and remember our price match promise covers every authentic Rack Armour® product.

Do I need this tool to install Rack Armour® protectors? No — Rack Armour® protectors can be clipped on by hand, which is one of their main advantages over steel rack guards. But the larger sizes (Large, XL, XXL) have stiffer clip tensions, and on a bulk install or a site-wide rollout the fitting tool meaningfully reduces installation time and installer strain. For one or two protectors, you don't need it. For a project, it's worth having.

Which Rack Armour® sizes is this tool for? This installation tool is designed for the Large (Euro C / up to 110mm), XL (Euro D / up to 120mm), and XXL (Euro E / up to 135mm) sizes. It works with both the Hi-Vis Yellow and Safety Yellow variants of these sizes.

Is there a separate tool for the smaller Rack Armour® sizes? The Small (Euro A) and Medium (Euro B) sizes have lower clip tensions and are easier to fit by hand. A separate fitting tool is available for those sizes — contact us if you're equipping a team to install across the full Rack Armour® range.

Does this come with any Rack Armour® protectors? No. This listing is for the installation tool only. Rack Armour® upright protectors are sold separately. You can add both to a single order — and project pricing is available if you're ordering protectors and tools together at volume.

How does the tool actually help? It gives you mechanical leverage to clip the protector onto the upright in a single controlled movement, instead of forcing it on by hand. This reduces installation time per upright, reduces strain on installers' wrists and backs across long install sessions, and helps ensure each protector is fully and consistently seated on the leg.

Is it suitable for contractor use? Yes. The tool is industrial-grade and designed for repeat use across site rollouts. It's commonly used by both in-house facilities teams and rack protection installation contractors.

Do you offer project pricing if I'm ordering this with a large quantity of protectors? Yes. For multi-size, multi-site, or high-volume orders we can quote project pricing across the protectors and tools. Contact us with your specification and quantities.

Do you really price match? Yes — our price promise covers every authentic Rack Armour® product, including accessories like this installation tool. Send a lower online price or a written quote and we'll match it.
