Back Stopper

Products Description

Pallet Rack Back Stopper limits how far a pallet can be pushed toward the rear of a rack during forklift loading. It helps control pallet positioning, reduce push-through risk and maintain the planned clearance behind the stored load.

The back stopper is a positioning and safety component rather than a pallet-supporting beam. Flush or offset configurations must be selected according to pallet overhang, rack depth and rear-clearance requirements.

Pallet Rack Back Stopper Selection and Safety Notes

  • The stopper must contact an appropriate part of the pallet.

  • It should not carry the normal vertical pallet load.

  • Offset distance must account for pallet overhang.

  • Back-to-back rows require sufficient separation between loads.

  • Required longitudinal flue space must be maintained.

  • The stop position should not conflict with sprinklers or services.

  • Deformed stoppers should be inspected and replaced where necessary.
