Safety equipment
Engineered safety solutions that protect your people, your products, and your infrastructure.
Our solutions
Space is tight, timelines are short, and compliance is non-negotiable. Platform 1 systems are designed for the realities of industrial operations to support your goals from day one.
Rack & facility protection
Protect your racking, walkways, and work zones from impact and collision.
Our structural safety products are designed to absorb impact, prevent damage, and keep your team safe. Whether you're protecting end-of-aisle racking or defining pedestrian zones, we help you create a safer, more compliant facility.
Safety accessories & add-ons
Durable, compliant components that complete your safety system.
We stock a wide range of accessories — including wire mesh decking, safety bars, post protectors, and capacity signage — all designed to integrate with your existing racking and meet the latest safety standards.
Built for compliance
All designs are engineered to integrate with your racking systems and meet or exceed North American safety codes and workplace regulations.

Safety Bars & Wire Mesh Decking
Keeps loads secure and prevents product falls.
- Supports non-standard pallet sizes
- Improves airflow and visibility
- Enhances fire safety and inventory control
Application: Essential for operations handling mixed or irregular loads, or where inventory rotation and safety are top priorities.
Post & Column Protection
Post & Column Protection
Post & Column Protection
- Protects racking uprights and structural columns from forklift impact.
- Absorbs direct impact from forklifts and equipment
- Shields base of uprights from pallet damage
- Available in multiple sizes and profiles
Application: Ideal for high-traffic warehouse zones, especially around aisle ends and intersections where collisions are most likely.
End-of-Aisle Protection
End-of-Aisle Protection
End-of-Aisle Protection
Forklifts drive directly into the rack lanes to place or retrieve pallets for maximum high-density storage.
- Prevents rack damage and improves warehouse traffic safety.
- Reinforces racking at high-risk impact points
- Reduces maintenance and replacement costs
- Enhances visibility and traffic flow
Application: A must-have for fast-paced distribution centers and fulfillment environments where forklifts frequently navigate tight turns.
Engineered Rack Netting
Engineered Rack Netting
Engineered Rack Netting
Store multiple pallets deep with a dynamic cart system or engineered rollers. Pallets push back on inclined rails and roll forward for easy retrieval.
- Prevents items from falling off racks and causing injury or product loss.
- Secures loose or unstable inventory
- Reduces risk of falling objects in high-bay storage
- Easy to retrofit onto existing racking systems
Application: Ideal for multi-level racking systems and areas with overhead storage, especially in e-commerce and cold storage environments.
Guardrails
Guardrails
Cantilever racking
Creates physical barriers between equipment and pedestrian areas.
- Creates physical barriers between equipment and pedestrian areas.
- Clearly defines walkways and restricted zones
- Prevents accidental collisions in shared spaces
- Modular and easy to install or reconfigure
Application: Commonly used around loading docks, pedestrian walkways, and office perimeters to separate people from moving equipment.
Capacity Signage
Capacity Signage
Capacity Signage
Maximize storage density with racks mounted on guided mobile bases. Aisles open and close as needed, using minimal floor space.
- Communicates load limits and safety information clearly.
- Custom signage for racking systems
- Supports internal safety protocols and audit readiness
- Durable and easy to update as layouts change
Application: Required for compliance and best practice in any facility where racking is used to store heavy or varied loads.
Fire Baffles
Fire Baffles
Fire Baffles
Corrosion-resistant, tough, and durable. Built for tough conditions like outdoor storage, food-grade environments, or damp areas.
- Helps prevent the spread of fire within racking systems.
- Installed between rack levels to contain flames
- Supports fire-rated system requirements
- Compatible with sprinkler systems and fire suppression plans
Application: Recommended for facilities storing flammable materials or operating in jurisdictions with strict fire safety codes.
Where safety equipment makes the biggest impact
Safety equipment is essential in fast-paced, high-traffic environments where people, products, and equipment move constantly.
Common Risks We Help Mitigate
Our systems are designed to mitigate risk and improve safety across a wide range of industries.
- Forklift collisions with racking or structural columns
- Falling inventory from high bays or racks
- Unsafe pedestrian traffic near loading zones
- Damage to rack posts and aisle ends
- Non-compliance with safety regulations
Safety in Automotive Warehousing
In fast-paced automotive warehousing, safety equipment is essential to prevent collisions, dropped inventory, and compliance issues. Platform 1 systems support JIT/JIS workflows, protect racking, and separate people from equipment—keeping facilities efficient, compliant, and inspection-ready.
