End Row Wrap Barriers

Protect the most vulnerable part of your warehouse with End Row Wrap Barriers. The ends of your racking rows take the brunt of forklift and pallet-jack traffic — and a single impact can damage racking, endanger staff and bring down a loaded bay. End row wrap barriers are purpose-built to absorb those hits, wrapping around the corners and shielding the front face of your end frames for complete, all-round protection at aisle ends and gangway intersections.

Constructed from heavy-duty steel with a full-plate steel facia panel, these barriers are fitted across the entire end of a racking aisle to stop low forklift impacts before they reach your uprights. They suit both single- and double-entry rows and bolt firmly to the floor for dependable, long-term protection.

Why End Row Wrap Barriers Matter for Safety and Compliance

Damaged racking is one of the most serious hazards in any warehouse — and aisle ends are where most impacts happen. End row wrap barriers don’t just protect your investment in racking; they’re central to keeping staff safe and your site compliant. Under AS4084.1:2023, upright protectors and guards are mandatory for all frames positioned at aisle and gangway intersections — exactly where end row barriers are fitted. Installing them correctly helps you meet that requirement and reduces the risk of costly damage, downtime and incidents.

H2: Installation and Anchoring

Correct installation is essential for both performance and compliance. End row wrap barriers require M14 screw or M16 stud anchors — lighter M10 screw or M12 stud anchors are not sufficient. Smaller barriers (1090mm and 1470mm) have 6 anchor points; larger barriers (2360mm and 2530mm) have 8. To remain compliant with AS4084.1:2023, rack protection must be installed with a minimum 60mm clearance from the column. We recommend professional installation to ensure barriers are anchored and positioned correctly.

H2: Safety, Standards and Workplace Compliance

Rack protection is a workplace-safety issue, so it’s worth understanding your obligations. For guidance, refer to:

• Standards Australia — publisher of AS 4084 (steel storage racking), the key standard for racking design, protection and safety.
• Safe Work Australia — national WHS guidance on safe storage and workplace hazards.
• SafeWork NSW and WorkSafe Victoria — state WHS regulators with practical racking-safety advice and obligations.

Employers are responsible for providing a safe workplace, and damaged or unprotected racking can lead to incidents, fines and downtime.

H2: Frequently Asked Questions

What do End Row Wrap Barriers protect against? Forklift and pallet-jack impacts at the ends of racking rows — the highest-traffic, highest-risk area in most warehouses.

How are they different from corner or column guards? Corner guards protect individual corners and column guards wrap a single upright base. An end row wrap barrier covers the whole end of the row — both corners and the front face — for complete protection.

Do they help with AS4084 compliance? Yes. AS4084.1:2023 mandates upright protectors/guards for frames at aisle and gangway intersections, and end row wrap barriers are designed for exactly that, when installed with the required 60mm clearance.

What size do I need? It depends on your frame depth and whether your racking is single- or double-entry — common lengths are 1090mm, 1470mm, 2360mm and 2530mm. Check your frame setup or ask our team.

What anchors are required? M14 screw or M16 stud anchors — M10/M12 are not sufficient. Smaller units have 6 anchor points and larger units have 8.
