Warehouse Safety Barriers & Accessories—Protect People, Racks and Stock

Keep pedestrians separated from forklifts and protect your racking at impact points. We design, supply and install barriers and guards that fit your site and traffic flows—while you keep operating or with a planned full closure.

  • We were in the market for a vertical storage rack. After contacting and discussing our needs, Elite Racking made a site visit to ensure their solution would meet our needs. After viewing the location and needs a couple of additional suggestions were made, which we adopted. Order placed, and delivery was earlier than expected which was great allowing us to complete the workshop setup. Very pleased with solution and delivery. Will be using Elite Racking again.

From the offset, they listened to our needs, designed a solution tailored to our specific freight profile, and managed the whole installation process, allowing us to remain focused on our day to day business. The quality of the racking is excellent, the installation laser perfect and the project came in on budget – I highly recommend Gavin, Zach and the team at Elite Racking.
