Design Philosophy

VISIPRO Upright Protector design cues have been drawn from the requirements of FEM 10.2.02 regarding impact loads and protection for pallet racking.

FEM 10.2.02 draws the distinction between protection for uprights at the end of racks between cross aisles and gangway intersections which require protection from any direction, compared with intermediate uprights that require protection in a direction normal to the aisle.

We recommend using an independent steel guard for end of racks and the VISIPRO High Visibility Upright Protector for intermediate uprights.

FEM 10.2.02 is very specific about designing intermediate protectors for forces normal to the aisle, to ensure that the protectors do not reduce the clear entry of the bay.
