Products Description
Pallet Rack Back Mesh Panels form a rigid barrier behind stored goods to reduce the risk of cartons, components or loose items falling from the rear of a rack. They are particularly useful where pallet racks face pedestrian walkways, workstations, machinery or other areas that require separation from stored inventory.
Unistar’s back mesh consists of framed steel mesh panels attached to pallet rack uprights. Panel dimensions, mesh opening and mounting offset should be matched to the rack width, stored goods and pallet overhang.
Main Pallet Rack Back Mesh Panels Functions
Contain cartons and loose products at the rear of the rack
Separate stored goods from pedestrian routes
Protect workstations positioned behind pallet racks
Reduce the risk of smaller items falling between rack levels
Maintain visibility through the rear of the rack
Allow light and airflow through the protected area
Provide a rigid alternative to flexible safety netting
Pallet Rack Back Mesh Panels Suitable Installation Areas
| Installation Area | Protection Objective |
|---|---|
| Rack facing a pedestrian aisle | Separate people from stored goods |
| Rack behind a workstation | Reduce falling-item exposure |
| Rack beside machinery | Prevent loose goods entering equipment areas |
| High-level carton storage | Contain smaller stored items |
| Rack at a boundary area | Create a visible storage barrier |
| Back-to-back racking | Provide separation where specifically required |
| End of rack row | Side panels may be configured where needed |

Flush-mounted panels where no pallet overhang is required
Offset-mounted panels where pallets or goods extend beyond the frame
Individual panels for one rack bay
Continuous panels across multiple bays
Full-height or partial-height coverage
Brackets matched to the upright profile
Powder-coated or galvanized finish according to the environment
Custom mesh opening based on the smallest retained item

Selection and Safety Notes of Pallet Rack Back Mesh Panels
Mesh opening must be smaller than the items requiring containment.
Mounting offset must accommodate pallet overhang.
Panel height should cover the actual stored-load area.
Brackets must fit the rack upright and panel frame.
Standard panels should not be assumed to arrest a complete loaded pallet.
Required containment load must be specified for engineering review.
Back mesh does not replace pallet support or rack structural bracing.
Damaged panels and brackets should be replaced after significant impact.
