Wildeck Inc. has announced a new family of structural steel end-of-aisle rack protectors to guard against fork truck impact at rack aisle corners in busy storage facilities, warehouses and distribution centers.
- Rack Protectors are extra tough and have been designed for heavy-duty rack protection in high traffic areas.
- Rack Protectors are designed for medium-duty rack protection and can provide an adequate barrier to forklift impact in everyday use.
- Rack Protectors are intended for lighter-duty rack protection and provide a low-cost alternative to no rack protection at all.
“Wildeck’s new family of rack protectors will allow our customers to select the specific level of impact protection that meets their facility safety and budget requirements,” stated Hubert Schlegel, director of marketing for Wildeck. “When compared to plastic molded guards applied directly to rack uprights, Wildeck’s structural steel barriers provide a far superior solution." Wilgard rack protectors are anchored directly to the concrete floor, not to the upright, and can help avoid serious damage by deflecting fork trucks or heavy carts that may cut corners when turning down aisles in a busy warehouse, 3PL, or DC.”
Benefits of Wildeck’s new Wilgard End-of-Aisle Rack Protectors:
- Made-in-USA quality increases safety in warehouses and distribution centers
- Helps avoid rack repairs, injury from falling materials, and costly downtime
- Withstands fork truck impacts to rack uprights and avoids damage to expensive inventory
- XT, MT, and LT designs permit user to choose the level of protection their budget allows
- Available as individual “right-” or “left-side” rack protectors, or as a unitized “double-headed” protector that guards the entire rack width
- Quick and easy to install with the included anchor bolts
According to Wildeck, customers no longer need to waste time shopping for the best safety product “deals.” Instead of simply offering one product, Wildeck has responded to feedback from customers whose needs and budgets are not all the same.

- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- turning
turning
Workpiece is held in a chuck, mounted on a face plate or secured between centers and rotated while a cutting tool, normally a single-point tool, is fed into it along its periphery or across its end or face. Takes the form of straight turning (cutting along the periphery of the workpiece); taper turning (creating a taper); step turning (turning different-size diameters on the same work); chamfering (beveling an edge or shoulder); facing (cutting on an end); turning threads (usually external but can be internal); roughing (high-volume metal removal); and finishing (final light cuts). Performed on lathes, turning centers, chucking machines, automatic screw machines and similar machines.
