Installation of racking and protection systems

Racks and safety protections expertly installed
Installing a rack requires the same level of care, whether it is a new structure or an existing system being upgraded with the necessary safety protections. An installation error, as well as an unprotected impact, can compromise the stability of the uprights and the safety of people and goods.
We assess the available space, storage volumes and material handling equipment used to determine the rack configuration and, where necessary, the most suitable safety protections. We install the structure and, on request, barriers, upright protectors and safety mesh, in accordance with the requirements of UNI EN 15512 and UNI EN 15635.
How we install your racks
Every installation follows the same technical process, regardless of the size of the system:
- Review of the available technical documentation, available space, operational flows and storage volumes
- Design of the rack configuration: load capacity, level heights and beam layout
- Assembly of the structure in accordance with the approved design
- Installation of the specified safety protections, where required
- Stability verification and testing of the assembled structure
- Issuance of technical documentation
The safety protections we install
We select the most suitable protection based on the warehouse layout and the specific risks in each area:
- Load protection barriers, to separate aisles and protect the ends of rack rows
- Upright protectors for rack uprights exposed to forklift traffic
- Anti-fall mesh for elevated storage
- Floor anchoring brackets to improve the stability of the structure
What you receive after installation
Once the installation is complete, we provide all the documentation you need to manage your rack system independently:
Technical data sheets for the rack system
Load capacity signs
Operating and maintenance manual
Racking compliance certification
A planned intervention designed to minimise operational downtime
We plan the installation to minimise disruption to warehouse operations, coordinating the work with operating shifts and areas already in use. Once the work is complete, we provide the technical documentation for the installed equipment.
The benefits of professional rack installation
A properly executed installation is not just about safety; it directly affects warehouse efficiency and long-term operating costs.
- A configuration designed around the warehouse’s actual storage volumes and operational flows makes storage and picking operations more efficient.
- A properly assembled and, where necessary, protected structure reduces the risk of structural failure and accidents.
- A properly installed rack, free from stresses caused by installation errors, retains its structural properties for longer.
- A system that is properly documented from the outset is easier to inspect during subsequent checks.
FAQ
Do you also install new racks, in addition to safety protections?
Yes, we install racks and storage equipment, and integrate the installation with the safety protections required to ensure their safe use.
What safety protections can be installed on industrial racks?
The most common are pedestrian barriers, upright protectors and anti-fall mesh for elevated storage. The choice depends on the warehouse layout and the areas most exposed to risks.
Is there a specific standard for the installation of new racks?
Yes. The design and installation are carried out in accordance with UNI EN 15512, while any safety protections are provided in accordance with UNI EN 15635.
Do safety protections need to be installed on the entire racking system?
No. Safety protections are installed in the areas with the highest level of risk, identified during the initial technical assessment, typically at the ends of rack rows, along aisles and on uprights most exposed to forklift traffic.
How long does the installation take?
The timeframe varies depending on the size of the system and the number of components to be installed, including both the rack structure and safety protections. We schedule the work to minimise disruption to warehouse operations.
What happens if issues are identified with the existing structure during installation?
If, during the assessment or installation, we identify non-compliant or already damaged components, we will inform you of the issue before proceeding and recommend the corrective actions required.
