End frame elevation

The end frame elevation is an effective measure to increase safety in storage areas. Especially in the area of pallet racking, end frame raisers are used to prevent goods from falling sideways without having to add additional storage levels.

What does end frame elevation mean?

With an end frame extension, the side frame (end frame) of a racking system is replaced or extended by higher frame profiles. This elevation serves as a protective measure to prevent objects from falling from the shelves. The end frame extension thus ensures that the shelving is safer, but without increasing the storage space of the shelving by adding additional levels.

Advantages of the end frame extension

An end frame extension offers various advantages, especially with regard to safety in the warehouse:

- Raising the end frame ensures that goods cannot fall out of the side of the racking.
- Particularly in high-bay warehouses or areas with frequent use of forklift trucks this is an important safety measure.
- Instead of installing a completely new rack, the existing system can be made safer by raising the end frame.

This measure can therefore increase the safety of the racking.

What to look out for when raising the end frame?

A professional end frame extension should only be carried out using compatible components that exactly match the existing pallet racking. It is important to back up the measures that increase the safety of the racking with a structural analysis to ensure safety in warehouse operations.

Especially in high-bay warehouses it can be crucial to have an end frame raised professionally so that the racking continues to comply with the applicable safety standards. Pallet racking with a raised frame height must be checked regularly and, if necessary, fitted with additional safety components.
