Forklift traffic at the rack front is where most dents start. This galvanised front upright impact protector is made for pallet racking that stands on the UNP220 floor rail. It shields the leading upright and helps guide impact energy away from the frame, so the rack line stays straighter and avoidable damage is kept down.
Use this rack protector at aisle entries, end bays and other high-traffic points where trucks turn close to the uprights.
When pallet racking is installed on asphalt, the allowable surface pressure is around 25 times lower than on concrete. The UNP220 floor rail is therefore recommended to spread the load and support the rack run. Pairing the rail with this front upright protector adds an extra layer of protection exactly where most impacts happen.

The Front Upright Impact Protector for UNP220 floor rail is a practical rack protector for that exposed first upright. It is intended for pallet racking that stands on the UNP220 floor rail and helps deflect collision energy away from the upright frame. Used together, the floor rail and the guard help keep rack runs straight in demanding warehouse environments, including installations up to 6 m in height.
Bent uprights and twisted frames can affect how beams sit, how pallets enter the bay and how safe the working area feels for operators.
Installing a dedicated upright protector at the rack front is a simple step that supports daily operations. It helps:
This front upright guard is made specifically for use with the UNP220 floor rail. In rail-mounted pallet racking, the floor rail acts as the base support under the rack line. The upright protector complements that setup by protecting the leading upright at floor level, where most contacts happen.
The protector is manufactured from galvanised steel. Galvanising provides corrosion resistance and makes the guard suitable for demanding conditions such as unheated warehouses, loading areas and other environments where moisture and temperature changes can be part of daily life.
Concrete is generally the preferred base for pallet racking. When racking is installed on asphalt, the floor conditions become much more critical because asphalt typically tolerates far lower point loads than concrete. As a rule of thumb, the allowable surface pressure on asphalt can be around 25 times lower than on concrete.
That is why the UNP220 floor rail is used when pallet racking is installed on asphalt. The rail helps spread loads over a wider area of the floor and supports the rack base. A well-supported base reduces the risk of movement and helps the rack run remain straight.
