MeshGuard Pallet Rack Safety Net

MeshGuard pallet rack safety net – fixed mesh rack netting for 8 to 13 ft bays Keep cartons on the rack and out of the aisle. MeshGuard is a fixed pallet rack safety net: a vinyl-coated mesh panel sewn between two 2″ elastic polyester rack straps, hooked to the uprights on the front or back of a bay. It holds loose cartons, shifted loads and palletized items in place with roughly 2,400 lb of burst strength, keeps the flue space clear, and installs in minutes on teardrop or structural uprights with no tools. Six bay widths from 96″ to 156″, one 32.5″ height. Also called: pallet rack netting, pallet rack net, rack safety netting, warehouse rack netting, pallet containment netting, pallet stabilization netting, back-of-rack net, flue space net, pallet rack backstop. If you have been searching under any of those names, this is the product. One net per bay, per level Teardrop attachment J-hook attachment Mesh panel between two elastic straps How it works Vinyl-coated mesh panel resists abrasion and weathering and stays visible in the aisle 2″ top and bottom straps with integrated elastic flex with the load instead of fighting it – approximately 2,400 lb burst strength Fixed design keeps the mesh in place for constant coverage; nothing to re-tension after every put-away Teardrop or J-hook attachments hook straight into the upright – no tools, no drilling Helps maintain flue space by stopping loads from pushing through to the back of the rack Teardrop or J-hook? Choose Teardrop for standard teardrop or slotted uprights – the bracket drops into the upright's slots. Choose J-hook for structural, RediRack-style or other uprights where a hook over the post edge is the better hold. Both come in every width; the net itself is identical. Sizes are named by the bay they fit Order by beam length – the clear width of the bay between uprights. A 96″ (8 ft) beam takes the 96″ net. The elastic straps take up the slack, so you measure the beam and pick the matching size; nothing to subtract. Every MeshGuard is 32.5″ tall, which covers the top band of a pallet load where cartons shift. For full-height coverage of a level, see FlexNet below.

Mounting: standard or structural uprights. One net covers one bay on one level. MeshGuard, FlexNet or StretchGuard? MeshGuard (this product) is the fixed, no-adjust net for the top band of a load – the most common pick for containment along aisles. FlexNet is a 60″-tall modular mesh panel you overlap for full-height, multi-bay coverage. StretchGuard is the strap alone – a single elastic band across the bay when you need a low-cost backstop rather than a net. Browse the full rack safety netting and straps range. Installation and care Hook the four attachments into the uprights at the height you want covered; install with even tension and do not overstretch the elastic. Inspect before use and replace any net that is cut, frayed or damaged. Use within your rack manufacturer's guidelines and site safety practices. Not for personnel fall protection or lifting. MeshGuard retains stored product; it is not engineered guarding for people. Ships from stock. Outfitting a whole run? Send us the bay count and beam length for a delivered price. Frequently asked questions What is pallet rack safety netting for? It stops cartons, loose items and shifted loads from falling off the back or front of a rack bay into an aisle, walkway or work area, and it helps keep the flue space behind the pallets clear. Most facilities fit it along forklift aisles, pick paths and anywhere racking backs onto a walkway. How do I measure for the right size? Measure the beam length – the clear width of the bay between the uprights – and order that size: 96, 102, 108, 120, 144 or 156 in. The elastic in the straps takes up the difference, so there is nothing to subtract. Every MeshGuard is 32.5 in. tall. Teardrop or J-hook – which attachment do I need? Teardrop for standard teardrop or slotted uprights; J-hook for structural or RediRack-style uprights. Look at the holes in your upright: teardrop-shaped slots take the teardrop bracket, anything else takes the J-hook. How many nets do I need? One per bay, per level you want covered. A 10-bay run with three loaded levels along an aisle takes 30 nets. For full-height coverage instead of the 32.5 in. band, use FlexNet panels and overlap them. Will it hold a pallet? It is built to retain cartons, loose items and a load that has shifted – about 2,400 lb burst strength – not to catch a full pallet pushed through the bay or to protect people. Rack protection for personnel needs engineered guarding. Does it need tools to install? No. The four attachments hook into the uprights by hand. Set the net at the height you want, pull it to even tension, and it stays put; it lifts off the same way if you re-slot the beams.
