Front Upright Protector 150 mm for Dexion P90 Pallet Racking

In a busy warehouse, it rarely takes a full-speed collision to damage racking. More often it is the everyday small contact: a fork tip brushing the frame on entry, a pallet corner catching the upright on exit, or a tight turn that clips the aisle-side post. The bottom of the upright is where these knocks concentrate, and that is exactly where a compact, floor-fixed upright protector earns its place.

The Front Upright Protector 150 mm is designed to protect the front (aisle-side) uprights of Dexion P90 pallet racking from impact and abrasion. It is the low-profile option you choose when you want the first beam level close to floor level, but you still need dependable rack protection at the point where damage typically starts.

Where the damage usually happens

Most pallet racking frames take their first hits close to the ground. Forks travel low, pallets are handled at speed, and even a careful driver can misjudge the last few centimetres when visibility is limited. If the upright is struck repeatedly, the damage often begins at the lower section where the frame is most exposed.

Front uprights are especially vulnerable because they sit right at the working face of the bay. They see every pallet movement, every correction, and every turning circle in the aisle. Protecting those uprights is a straightforward way to reduce day-to-day wear on the racking and keep the rack line straight and predictable.

Built from 4 mm steel for daily knocks and heavier hits

Despite the modest 150 mm height, the protector is made from 4 mm steel. The folded steel design spreads impact forces over a larger surface, helping to protect the upright’s most sensitive lower area. Because the protector is low, it is also less likely to interfere with pallet placement. The profile does not narrow the clear bay opening and it does not block the pallet entry path. You get upright protection where it matters, while keeping the working geometry of the bay familiar for drivers.

When to choose the low-profile version

A 150 mm upright guard is typically selected when the first beam level needs to be positioned close to the floor. This can be useful when storing low pallets, when you want to keep the bottom load stable, or when the layout requires the lowest level to sit near ground level for handling reasons.

Floor-fixed installation with supplied wedge anchors

The protector is anchored to the floor, so it stays in place and takes the hit before the upright does. Each unit is supplied with 4 pcs M10 x 100 mm wedge anchors for fixing to concrete. A solid, correctly installed floor fixing is essential for any rack protector, so installation should be carried out on a sound substrate and according to the anchor manufacturer’s instructions.

Designed for Dexion P90, also suitable for other pallet racking

This front upright protector is designed for Dexion P90 pallet racking. In many cases, it can also be used with other adjustable pallet racking systems, provided the upright profile and base area are compatible. If you are fitting it to a different racking brand, it is good practice to check dimensions and clearances before installation.

SFS‑EN 15512 compliant protection for inspections

The protector meets the requirements of SFS‑EN 15512. That means it can be accepted as part of documented racking safety inspections without additional clarification, supporting a tidy safety file and a more predictable inspection process.
