In high-traffic environments—such as logistics hubs, F&B warehouses, and manufacturing facilities—racking systems form the backbone of efficient operations. However, these racking uprights and rack ends are prone to damage from forklifts, pallet trucks, and other moving material handling equipment (MHE). To safeguard these critical components, MPM Plastics Protection from Italy offers an advanced range of products—particularly the RP, Rack Corner, and Rack-End Protector—designed to provide robust rack protection while conforming to leading safety standards like PAS13, EN15629, EN15512, and EN15635.

Why Rack Protection Matters

1. Preventing Damage to Uprights and Rack Ends
   Even a minor collision from a forklift or pallet truck can compromise the structural integrity of your racks. A damaged upright can lead to costly downtime, inventory loss, and safety hazards.
2. Ensuring Workplace Safety
   When racking is compromised, the potential for product spillage, worker injury, and equipment damage escalates. Installing protective measures—such as U protectors and rack-end protection—helps mitigate these risks, fostering a safer work environment.
3. Regulatory Compliance
   In Singapore, safety standards are strictly enforced, particularly in industries like logistics, F&B, and manufacturing. By implementing racking protection solutions that align with PAS13, EN15629, EN15512, and EN15635, businesses demonstrate their commitment to local and international safety regulations.

Introducing MPM’s Key Rack Protection Products

1. RP (Rack Protector)

- Shock-Absorbing Properties: Engineered to disperse impact forces from moving MHE.

- Modular Design: Easily adaptable to different rack configurations, offering aisle protection without hindering workflow.

- High-Visibility Options: Often available in bright colors to boost visibility and reduce accidental collis

2. Rack Corner

- Corner-Specific Shielding: Protects vulnerable corners of racking systems—areas frequently impacted by forklifts turning sharply or pallet trucks misaligned.

- Space-Efficient: Compact design that offers robust protection without occupying valuable floor space.

3. Rack-End Protector

- Complete End-to-End Coverage: Guards the entire length of a racking aisle, preventing collisions that could damage rack ends or stored goods.

- Durable Materials: Constructed from robust plastic that remains rust-free—especially crucial in Singapore’s humid climate.

Advantages of MPM Plastics Protection for Racking

1. Impact Resistance and Flexibility
   MPM’s plastic solutions are not only designed to absorb impact but also to flex slightly—ensuring they do not transfer the full force of a collision to the racking upright itself. This significantly reduces repair costs and prevents damage to racking over time.
2. Rust-Free and Low Maintenance
   Traditional steel bumpers or guards can corrode in humid environments like Singapore’s. MPM’s plastic protectors are corrosion-resistant, eliminating the need for frequent repainting or replacement.
3. Easy Installation and Replacement
   Each bumper for racking from MPM is designed for quick installation, minimizing operational downtime. Should a protector become severely damaged, it can be swiftly replaced without dismantling the entire racking system.
4. Compliance with Global Standards
   MPM’s rack protection solutions are engineered in accordance with PAS13, EN15629, EN15512, and EN15635 guidelines, ensuring racking inspection requirements are met for maximum workplace safety.

Applications Across Key Industries

Logistics and Warehousing

• Rack-end protection for busy loading bays where forklifts constantly move pallets.
• U protectors for aisle uprights to minimize collisions in narrow, high-density storage areas.

Food & Beverage (F&B)

• Rack Corner solutions to guard refrigerated or temperature-controlled zones where condensation might cause slippery floors.
• Forklift impact protection to maintain hygiene standards by preventing structural damage that could harbor contaminants.

Manufacturing Plants

• Rack Protector (RP) shields production line storage racks from collisions with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and other robotic systems.

Key Benefits for Singapore Businesses

1. Safety and Operational Continuity
   By proactively protecting your racking system, you reduce the likelihood of accidents, potential worker injuries, and costly production delays.
2. Enhanced Efficiency
   Clear, visible protection helps drivers and equipment operators maneuver more confidently, reducing collisions and improving workflow.
3. Cost Savings
   Fewer repairs, replacements, and downtime translate into a better bottom line. Prevent damage to racking before it occurs, rather than incur steep costs afterward.
4. Future-Proofing Your Facility
   As e-commerce grows and supply chains become more complex, warehouse layouts will need to adapt quickly. MPM’s modular protection systems can scale alongside your operational needs.
