Pallet Rack Backing

Measure the length of a bay inside post to inside post. Verify the width of every bay in the row as beam lengths may vary in multiple bay configurations. Knowing the exact row layout is crucial in making sure the Pallet Rack Backing netting provides proper coverage for the rack. Measure the width of the uprights. Because rack netting typically covers multiple bays, the uprights must be accounted for in the length of the nets. Determine the type of installation. Will your pallets overhang the back of the rack by three or more inches? If no, you can use a flush mount installation where the nets are attached directly to the rack with supplied heavy duty tie wraps. 

If yes, you will need an offset installation framework that will allow the net to be mounted away from the back of your rack. Decide which Pallet Rack Backing netting style is appropriate for your application. Based on the heaviest item the mesh will be expected to retain. Smaller mesh options are available for individual product or small box retention is required. Nets are generally supplied in sections no longer than 40 to 50 feet to minimize unsupported spans and provide proper product retention.

Flush Mounted Installation of Carron Pallet Rack Safety Netting:

The typical Pallet Rack Backing installation used in cases where pallet overhang does not exceed three inches. Firstly, the tools needed: scissors and any company required personal protective equipment. Lay out the nets and supplied heavy duty tie wraps to be used in the installation. Ensure that all nets are present prior to beginning the installation. Finally, when installing a net always begin at the top of an outside rack upright position. 

The vertical edge of the net at the center of the upright face. And then attach the rope border of the net to the rack with the provided tire ramps. Attach the opposite top corner to the other end of the span. Equally important is to fully tighten each tie and clip off the tail about one inch from the clasp. Next, attach the bottom Pallet Rack Backing corners on both sides. Attach the center of the nets, top rope binding, then do the same at the bottom and sides of the net. Place another trap halfway between the midpoint and corner on each side. Then continue having the distance until the net is attached to the rack every 12 inches along all four sides of the net. Repeat for each netting panel until the rack is covered in netting as designed.
