Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a forklift protection guard barrier?
It is designed to provide a physical barrier between moving equipment such as forklifts and vulnerable structures, posts or walkways, helping to reduce impact damage and improve safety in high-traffic areas.
How do I choose the correct width for my installation?
Measure the width of the area or item you want to protect, such as a post, column or machine front, and select the next suitable guard width from the available options to ensure full coverage with some allowance either side.
Where should this type of guard be installed?
Install the guard wherever forklifts or pallet trucks operate close to racking, machinery, walkways or building structures, focusing on high-risk impact areas such as aisle ends, corners, entrances and loading zones.
