DAMO FRAME GUARD dock door rack protectors in a warehouse

Essential Safety Measures for Overhead Racking

Dock doors are some of the busiest areas in any warehouse, functioning as the primary entry and exit points for all merchandise. Constant traffic from forklifts and pallet jacks makes these zones particularly vulnerable to high-impact collisions, with overhead racking along dock doors often bearing the brunt of the damage. The combination of tight maneuvering and heavy loads highlights the need for enhanced protection in these critical areas. Installing heavy-duty guarding not only mitigates costly racking damage but also prioritizes worker safety and ensures seamless warehouse operations.

Super Heavy-Duty frame upright protection

DAMO FRAME GUARD is designed for maximum durability, offering unparalleled protection. Crafted from a 1/2" thick steel plate, it features a robust 6" x 4" x 3/8" angle that shields the frame’s side and rear posts, while the 12" tall, V-nose ends provide superior defense for front frame posts. Its welded construction ensures exceptional strength. Designed to accommodate up to a 5 1/2" wide frame footplate, the guard is secured with 3/4" x 7" anchors spaced less than 12" apart for maximum stability. Available in standard 42" and 48" lengths for quick shipping, DAMO FRAME GUARD can also be customized to meet your precise specifications, including notching and exact length adjustments, ensuring tailored protection for your unique setup.
