RackFort™
RackFort: A New Standard in Rack Upright Safety in Storage Areas
One of the fundamental elements of creating an orderly, safe, and sustainable structure in storage and logistics areas is the protection of racking systems. In areas where forklifts, reach trucks, and similar transport vehicles are heavily used, rack uprights are among the points most exposed to crashes and impacts.
Such impacts can lead to structural weaknesses in racking systems, product losses, and occupational safety risks over time. At this point, RackFort stands out as an effective and long-lasting rack upright protection solution developed by Raysan.
RackFort is designed to protect rack uprights found in storage and stacking areas against damage caused by vehicle collisions. Thanks to its easy-to-assemble structure, it can be quickly integrated into existing racking systems. In warehouse environments where transport and loading vehicle traffic is intense, it is inevitable that rack uprights are constantly exposed to impacts. RackFort minimizes wear and tear by preventing these impacts from being transmitted directly to the rack upright.
One of the most frequently encountered problems in industrial warehouses is that small impacts turn into major structural damages over time. Contacts occurring in forklift turning areas or narrow aisles, even if not noticed at first, can disrupt the balance of racking systems. RackFort offers a protective structure surrounding the rack upright to reduce these risks. Thus, both racking systems and stored products are secured.
One of the most important advantages of RackFort is that it provides a high level of protection without disrupting the warehouse layout. Thanks to its structure fixed to the ground, it offers a stable solution in working areas. At the same time, with its high-visibility color, it attracts the attention of forklift operators and helps reduce the risk of collision from the very beginning. This feature provides a great advantage not only in terms of physical protection but also in terms of preventive safety.
Safety investments in storage areas are important elements that reduce operating costs in the long run. Damages occurring in racking systems are not limited to repair costs only; they can lead to chain consequences such as operational downtimes, product losses, and work accidents. RackFort minimizes such risks by protecting rack uprights against impacts and contributes to the uninterrupted operation of businesses.
Reflecting Raysan's safety solutions approach, RackFort is suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor storage areas. It is an ideal rack upright protection product for logistics centers, production facilities, and distribution warehouses with constant forklift traffic. Thanks to its robust structure, it shows durability against intense usage conditions and offers long-term performance.
Today, warehouse safety directly affects not only employee health but also operational efficiency. The protection of rack uprights plays a critical role for the sustainability of the warehouse order. RackFort is a practical and effective solution developed for this need. Being easy to apply, it can be easily preferred in newly established warehouses as well as in existing facilities.
RackFort is a reliable and functional solution for businesses wanting to protect rack uprights against vehicle collisions. Developed with Raysan's experience in the field of industrial safety, this product increases safety in storage areas while providing a long-term cost advantage. For all businesses wishing to extend the life of racking systems, strengthen occupational safety, and protect the warehouse order, RackFort offers an effective protection solution.
Maximum Security, Minimum Cost
RackFort™ rack protection systems effectively prevent forklift collisions, one of the biggest risks in warehouses. Thanks to PolyCore™ polymer technology, it absorbs impact, protects your rack system from damage, and eliminates operational downtime.
Installation is extremely fast and easy; its special design allows it to be installed without interrupting existing operations. Its durable construction minimizes maintenance and repair costs, thereby providing significant savings for businesses.
With RackFort™, safe, efficient, and profitable warehouse management is now much easier
RackFort™ components are manufactured from recyclable, engineered polymers. At end-of-life the product can be returned into the recycling stream, helping reduce landfill waste and supporting corporate sustainability goals. This makes RackFort™ a durable protection solution with a low environmental footprint.
Thanks to its self-coloured polymer and resilient structure, RackFort™ does not require painting, coating or routine surface maintenance. It resists wear and retains its protective performance without recurring service costs, saving time and reducing total cost of ownership.
Formulated with UV stabilisers, RackFort™ keeps its colour and mechanical properties even in outdoor or partially exposed storage areas. Long-term UV resistance reduces the need for replacement in exterior or dockside installations.
A modular fastening system enables rapid mounting and removal with basic tools. This allows maintenance teams to reconfigure layouts or replace components without lengthy downtime.
Because RackFort™ is manufactured from insulating polymer, it does not conduct electricity — an extra safety benefit when protecting racking near cable runs, control panels or battery charging areas.
Engineered polymers and robust design ensure RackFort™ maintains impact resistance and aesthetic condition over many years, delivering predictable protection and strong lifecycle value.
Polymer vs Steel Rack Leg Protection:
Choosing the Right Solution for Safer Warehouses
When it comes to rack leg protection, not all solutions perform the same. Compare flexible polymer-based protectors with traditional steel guards to see which offers better impact resistance, cost-efficiency, and long-term warehouse safety.
| Feature | Polymer Rack Leg Protection | Steel Rack Leg Protection |
|---|---|---|
| Impact Absorption | Absorbs and disperses energy, reducing damage to both the rack and the vehicle. | Transfers impact force directly to the structure, increasing the risk of rack damage. |
| Durability | Highly resistant to repeated impacts without permanent deformation. | Often bends or dents after moderate collisions, requiring frequent replacement. |
| Maintenance & Repairs | Minimal maintenance needed thanks to flexible structure. | Higher maintenance costs due to visible wear and tear. |
| Vehicle & Operator Safety | Reduces rebound force on forklifts, protecting both vehicle and operator. | Higher risk of rebound injuries due to rigid construction. |
| Installation | Easy to install with minimal tools and downtime. | Requires more time, tools, and anchoring effort. |
| Floor Protection | Engineered to flex without damaging the concrete floor. | Impacts may cause floor anchors to loosen or floor to crack. |
| Visual Appeal & Signage | Sleek design with color-coded options for safety visibility. | Basic industrial look with limited visual guidance options. |
| Cost Over Time | Lower total cost of ownership due to fewer replacements and lower maintenance. | Higher long-term costs despite lower initial price. |
| Environmental Resistance | Non-corrosive and suitable for wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. | Susceptible to rust and corrosion over time, especially in harsh conditions. |
| Sustainability | Made from recyclable polymers; eco-conscious design. | Traditional steel requires energy-intensive production and is heavier to transport. |
