Rack Armour® Medium Upright Racking Protectors - Hi Vis Yellow

The Smarter Way to Protect Standard Pallet Racking Uprights

Most warehouse rack damage starts with a single forklift bump near the floor — and ends with bent uprights, scrapped stock, and a costly inspection visit. The Rack Armour® Medium Upright Racking Protector is built to stop that chain reaction at the source. Sized to fit front-facing uprights up to 100mm wide (Euro B), it's the most popular choice for standard UK pallet racking systems and a direct fit for the racking used across the majority of distribution, manufacturing, and fulfilment sites.

Standing 600mm tall and finished in high-visibility yellow, this clip-on protector goes on by hand in seconds — no anchors, no drilling, no contractor visit. The patented HDPE shell flexes on impact while the inner foam core absorbs and dissipates the force, delivering an independently verified 80% reduction in racking damage.

Engineered to Outlast Steel Rack Guards

Steel racking protectors look reassuring, but the physics work against them. On impact, force is transferred straight into the racking leg or rips through the floor anchors. Rack Armour® takes a different approach:

• Absorbs impact energy instead of passing it through to the upright
• No floor fixings — clips on by hand, leaves your floor untouched
• Won't rust, corrode, or distort the way painted steel guards do
• Slides up easily for the rack inspections required by HSE guidance and FEM standards
• Independently tested to FEM 10.2.16

Performs in the Toughest Warehouse Conditions

The medium upright protector is rated to operate at temperatures as low as -40°C, suiting it to chilled and frozen storage, and resists moisture, corrosion, and the majority of industrial solvents. It's designed to withstand repeat impacts over a 15+ year service life, so a single fitment typically protects the upright across multiple forklift strikes before any replacement is needed.

Specifications

Where the Medium (Euro B) Size Fits

The Euro B 100mm size is the most common upright width on UK pallet racking, making this the default choice for most warehouses. Typical installations include high-traffic main aisles, end-of-aisle positions, picking faces, cold storage racking, and any zone where forklift trucks, reach trucks, or PPTs operate at speed near racking uprights. If you're rolling out protection across a full site, the medium size will usually cover the bulk of your uprights — with the small (Euro A) and larger sizes filling gaps where racking specifications differ.

Reduce Rack Repairs From the Next Forklift Strike

Every unprotected racking upright is a repair invoice waiting to happen. Fitting Rack Armour® takes minutes per leg, requires no contractors, and starts paying back the moment the next impact hits.

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 most Dexion, Link 51, Mecalux, and equivalent profiles.

How is Rack Armour® installed? Each protector clips onto the upright by hand in a few seconds. No bolts, anchors, drilling, or floor fixings are needed, which means you can fit a full warehouse without contractors or downtime.

Does Rack Armour® really reduce racking damage by 80%? Yes. The 80% reduction figure is based on independent impact testing. The HDPE outer shell deflects the strike while the inner foam core absorbs the energy before it reaches the upright structure.

Will Rack Armour® work in a freezer or cold store? Rack Armour® is rated to operate at temperatures as low as -40°C, making it suitable for chilled, frozen, and ambient warehouse environments.

How long will the medium upright protector last? The product has a 15+ year design life and can absorb multiple impacts before needing replacement, depending on the force of each strike. This makes the cost per year of protection extremely low compared to repeated rack repairs.

Is Rack Armour® better than steel column guards? For most racking applications, yes. Steel guards transfer impact force into the racking leg or the floor anchors, often making damage worse. Rack Armour® absorbs the energy, won't rust or deform, and lifts off easily for the regular rack inspections recommended under FEM and HSE guidance.

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 company details printed on the labels.

Do you really price match? Yes — we operate a price promise on all authentic Rack Armour® products. If you find a better price elsewhere online, or have a written quotation, send it through and we'll match it.
