Innovative security solutions for pallet racking

In the very first edition of this magazine, we introduced you to the Swedish company Troax. As the global leader in protective mesh panel solutions, this company, founded in 1955, is a trusted partner for numerous entrepreneurs. In addition to an extensive product range that caters to machine protection and safe storage in construction, Troax also offers pallet racking protection.

"The importance of fall-through protection, shelving and collision protection for pallet racking in a warehouse cannot be emphasized enough," confirms Sigrid Herbosch, Coordinator Internal Sales & Marketing Benelux. "Fall-through protection prevents items from falling off a warehouse rack, protecting both personnel and stock. Shelves provide efficient storage and organization of goods, improving accessibility and reducing the risk of goods falling. And collision protection not only protects the structure of racking, but also the safety of employees. And it prevents costly damage to the warehouse."

Easy to install fall-through protection

For each of these security solutions, Troax offers quality and cost-effective products. Sigrid starts with fall-through protection: "Troax's fall-through protection is the strongest system available on the market. By using this durable and protective mesh screen, you prevent goods from falling off pallet racks or being accidentally knocked off. Troax's fall-through protection is made of all-welded mesh panels with a 19×19 millimeter steel tube frame, tested to withstand impacts up to 2,500 joules. The panels, which are quick and easy to assemble, we offer in three models with different mesh sizes: 25×25, 50×50 and 100×50 millimeters. The 25×25 mesh is suitable for securing aerosols."

Custom shelves

Over to the shelves. "Shelves from Troax have a safety factor of at least 1.3," Sigrid points out. "The big advantage of our shelf system is that light can pass through it, as well as water from sprinkler systems in case of fire. Various customized solutions are possible, such as a board with an integrated backstop and/or subdivisions. Troax's standard drop-over shelves are available in various depths and widths to fit most regular pallet racks. You can also adjust the dimensions of the shelves according to different products, along with the size of the overhang."

Flexibly deployable collision protection

Finally, there is Troax collision protection. Sigrid: "Our barriers and guardrail posts are indispensable for optimal protection of people and goods in production halls, warehouses and distribution centers. They are also suitable for separating work areas from each other in a flexible way. We have them in both steel and polythene, so you can decide which solution best suits your specific situation."
