Description
The Pallet Rack Back Guard is a durable and reliable safety barrier designed to prevent inventory from accidentally falling off the back of your racking system. Built with heavy-duty steel and wire mesh, it provides an added layer of protection for warehouse workers and stored products while maintaining clear visibility of inventory.
The pallet rack back guard system makes use of an angle. The angle is meant to give the products on the your rack levels protection from falling. They also make sure that the products cannot fall into walkways.
Key Features
- Heavy-Duty Construction – Made from 1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″ gauge steel frame welded with a 2″ x 2″ x 10-gauge steel wire mesh, ensuring strength and durability.
- Secure Mounting – Panels come with predrilled mounting holes (six-inch centers) for easy installation.
- Flush or Offset Brackets – Choose between flush mount brackets or offset brackets (1 5/8″ to 3 1/4″ Offset Clips or 4 3/8″ to 6″ Offset Clips) to accommodate overhanging pallets.
- Stackable Panels – Designed to be stacked to the desired height, with additional kits available for protection extending above the rack.
- Reinforced Wire Mesh – Flat steel stiffeners add extra rigidity, making this back guard a heavy-duty safety solution.
Specifications
- Panel Sizes: Standard sizes available in 4′ or 5′ height, with widths matching beam lengths for complete coverage.
- Attachment Points: Each panel has seven attachment points for secure fastening.
- Hardware: Uses standard 3/8″ assembly hardware.
Installation & Compatibility
- Easy Installation – An angled frame design provides a clear installation path, making setup faster and more efficient.
- Versatile Application – Can be installed at any level on your rack or mounted directly to support posts if needed.
- Custom Options Available – Contact us for custom panel sizes to fit your specific storage requirements.
Walkways and the top of the rack:
Clear walkways means that you and your employees are protected from tripping hazards. You are also protected against the dangers of falling products from, potentially, high places. They are sturdy and they can stack on top of each other to reach the top of your rack. They can even go above your rack, if necessary, with a kit that allows that kind of action. Please note that the kit is an extra piece and you will have to contact us to get it for your rack. You can contact us by calling us at 503-640-5666. The pallet rack wire mesh back panels you see here will increase how safe you and your workers will feel around your pallet racks.
Pallet Back Guard Offset Clips
These offset clips allow your pallets to overhang the pallet rack beam. There are two choices for this if that is something that you are interested in having.
Available Options:
- 1 5/8″ to 3 1/4″
- 4 3/8″ to 6″
Both offset clips attach the wire mesh back guard panel to your pallet rack frame – the only difference is how far they hold the panel off the rack:
- The small offset clip holds the panel about 1 5/8″ to 3 1/4″ away from the rack.
- The large offset clip holds the panel about 4 3/8″ to 6″ away from the rack.
Choose the size based on how much clearance you need between the back of your pallet loads and the mesh back guard.
What do the offset ranges (1 5/8″–3 1/4″ and 4 3/8″–6″) mean?
These numbers are the distance from the front face of your upright to the wire mesh back guard panel.
- Small offset clips work for installations where the panel needs to sit between 1 5/8″ and 3 1/4″ away from the rack.
- Large offset clips work where the panel needs to sit between 4 3/8″ and 6″ away from the rack.
Measure how far your pallets or loads extend past the beams and choose the clip whose range covers that distance.
!Note: Offset clips are not included with the back guard panels. Each panel requires 4 clips (one 4-pack), sold separately. Please add the appropriate offset clips to your cart for each panel.
Why Choose an Offset Bracket?
Offset brackets allow for pallet overhang, giving flexibility in storage without compromising safety. Choose the appropriate offset based on your warehouse setup.
Additional Protection Kits
If your inventory extends above the rack, we offer an extension kit that provides additional guarding. Contact us at 503-640-5666 to discuss your needs.

How soon does this thing ship?
They usually leave the warehouse within 48 hours of a received order.
Can you tell me what material was used to make this product?
It is a 1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″ gauge steel frame welded with a 2″ x 2″ x 10 gauge steel wire mesh.
What can you tell me about the panels?
The panels have predrilled mounting holes with six inch centers.
Why would I want an offset bracket?
An offset bracket allows for pallets that will overhang your beams.
I’ve heard that I’ll need 4 offset clips to install my rack back guard. Is that correct?
Actually, you will need 4 storage rack clips per panel. If you have more than one panel then you will need four of these clips for each panel.
If I purchase one pack of offset clips from your store, how many clips are included?
You will receive four of these clips if your order one of these packages.
You are telling me that this clip will not work if I want my skids to sit flush, correct?
You are correct. If you want your pallets or skids to sit flush with your pallet rack beam then you need a flush mount clip.
How many attachment points do I get on my panels?
Each of the panels has seven attachment points. They are located on the ends of each panel.
Can I get custom panels?
It is possible, however, you will have to call us at 503-640-5666 to talk about your specific needs.
My product goes over the top of my rack. I need to protect the top of my rack. How do I do that with this product?
You can have panels that extend above the rack. There is a kit. The kit handles products that sit above your rack. Call us at 503-640-5666 to get the kit. We can help you procure it for your future, or current, if you already own it, back guard solution.
What can you tell me about the assembly hardware?
The hardware is a standard 3/8″ assembly.
Is this difficult to install? It seems like it would be especially if you can't access the hardware from certain areas of the product.
The system makes use of an angled frame. The angled frame helps the person, or people, installing the back guard to have a clear way to install the system. It helps to make the installation much faster as well.
How big are the panels, anyway?
A standard sized panel can range from 4′ or 5′. They are equal to the beam length in width to give you complete coverage.
Why is it strong? Doesn't this use a wire mesh?
The wire mesh has flat steel stiffeners deployed behind the mesh in order to provide some extra rigidity. These pallet rack back guard panels are heavy-duty solutions that will protect your rack from losing product on accident.
How do the back panels attach to the pallet rack?
They attach to the rack through the mounting brackets.
Do I need to start this product at the bottom of my rack?
The manufacturer told us that you can start this product on the floor but you do not have to do so. You can start the protection at any level where you deem is appropriate.
Do I have to use this on a rack?
No. You can mount the back guard solution to your support posts if you wish to do that instead.
So these panels stack on top of each other?
Correct. You can stack them to the desired height of protection. You must keep in mind that going above the rack takes a kit and you will have to contact us to get that kit for your solution. Give us a call at 503-640-5666 and we can help you get the kit.
