Rack Protection Systems – Rack Armour Australia
Rack Armour incorporates a patented design that provides ongoing protection and outperforms conventional pallet racking protection.
The Product - Rack Armour
Rack Armour incorporates a patented design that provides ongoing protection and outperforms conventional pallet racking protection.
It’s tough outer, or shock deflector, is made from an extremely tough polymer that can withstand significant impact and has the persistence of shape to give ongoing protection as the unit reverts back to its original form.
The compact design is unique in that the curved edges deflect the impact away from the rack face.
The foam inner, or shock diffuser, acts to reduce inertia from any impact and diffuse the force along the whole length of the unit (600mm) rather than being concentrated at the point of impact. Any residual impact is therefore dissipated over a much larger area making it less likely to cause damage to your upright.
No Drilling
Quick and easy installation with the use of the Rack Armour Installation Tool. Rack Armour simply grips onto the upright thanks to its unique design.
No Bolts
No fixing or bolts to be ripped off or to damage floors or racking.
No Fastenings
The compact design is unique in that it does not require any fittings. Its tough outer, along with its foam inner, is all you need to ensure ongoing protection.
No Fuss
Rack Armour incorporates a patented design that provides ongoing protection and outperforms conventional pallet racking protection.

Our Design
The Outer - Deflector
The outer casing is made from high-density polyethylene and is manufactured to possess a strong internal cross-linked polymer composition. The curved shape provides a low friction coefficient with high deflecting properties. The combination of deflection and diffusion properties greatly reduces impact forces transmitted to the rack upright's vulnerable front and lateral faces.
The Foam Inner - Shock Isolator
The inner is made from closed-cell polyethylene foam designed to induce inertia and an exaggerated path to shock forces. The shock isolator received residual impact energy from the external deflector, which momentarily stores this energy and releases it over a longer period of time and the larger internal area. The remaining proportion of impact force is rebounded back through the external deflector and away from the racking.

Testing and Standards
Rack Armour Exceeds FEM 10.2.02 for front and side impacts
Rack Armour has recently undergone independent testing by Cardno (NSW) Pty Ltd, one of Australia's leading consulting engineering companies. David Beneke, Principal at Cardno supervised the testing and has confirmed that Rack Armour meets the standards set down for racking protection devices in FEM 10.2.02.
FEM 10.2.02 is the European testing standard upon which AS 4084 is based. FEM is the most internationally recognised and one of the most up-to-date (having been updated in 2001) of all testing standards. Rack Armour has met and exceeded the requirements of this standard for both front and side impacts, as certified by an expert, independent source.
