Safety and Protection Solutions for Spanish Fork Warehouses

Spanish Fork is a growing industrial community in southern Utah County, with warehouse and light manufacturing activity along the US-6 and I-15 corridors. The city's lower land costs compared to northern Utah County make it attractive for businesses seeking affordable industrial space.

With industrial real estate costs rising across the Mountain West, Spanish Fork businesses are finding that properly configured Safety and Protection systems can delay or eliminate the need to expand their facility footprint.

Warehouse safety equipment protects your people, your products, and your racking investment. A single forklift impact on an unprotected upright can damage the column beyond safe use, requiring immediate takedown of the bay and replacement of the upright, a costly and disruptive event that proper protection can prevent. We supply a full range of safety and protection products: upright column protectors, rack end guards, safety netting, bollards, guard rails, pallet rack safety bars, and wire decking. All products meet or exceed ANSI and OSHA requirements. Beyond physical protection, a well-designed safety system communicates hazards clearly to forklift operators and pedestrians. High-visibility yellow column protectors signal the column location in low-light conditions. Safety netting on elevated rack levels prevents product from falling to the floor below. Bollards protect rack end caps, fire sprinkler risers, and other infrastructure from vehicle traffic. Guard rails create visual and physical separation between pedestrian walkways and forklift aisles, a requirement under OSHA 1910.178 for facilities where pedestrians and forklifts share the same floor. Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions also provides post-impact racking inspections and engineer-certified damage assessments. When a rack upright is struck, the structural integrity of the entire bay is compromised and the system should not be reloaded until it has been evaluated. Our inspectors assess damage using RMI ANSI MH16.1 criteria and provide written reports with repair or replacement recommendations.

Safety and Protection is especially valuable for Government facilities in Spanish Fork, where companies need dependable systems for Pedestrian separation barriers. Rocky Mountain Warehouse Solutions helps businesses plan, install, and optimize systems that support long-term warehouse performance.

We work with companies across Utah County and nearby service areas to deliver practical, durable solutions built for industrial environments.

Technical Specifications & Buying Guide

Column protectors are the most cost-effective safety investment in any warehouse. Heavy-duty polyethylene column protectors bolt to the floor around the base of the upright and are designed to absorb and redirect forklift impact forces. Standard protectors fit 3-inch and 4-inch column widths and are available in heights from 16 to 42 inches. For extra-high protection zones, steel column guards provide maximum impact resistance at high-traffic row ends and aisle intersections. The cost of a set of column protectors, typically $50–$150 per upright, is a fraction of the cost to replace a damaged column, which can run $400–$800 plus downtime.

Rack end guards (also called row end protectors) are steel or heavy-duty plastic assemblies that wrap around the end frame of a rack row, providing impact protection for the entire face of the upright. They are most important at row ends adjacent to forklift travel aisles, where the upright is most exposed to impact. End guards also serve as visual aisle markers, helping operators identify the end of each row during travel.

Safety netting and back-stops are required on elevated rack levels in many facilities to prevent product from falling or being pushed off the back of the rack. OSHA 1910.176 and local fire marshal requirements may specify particular netting specifications depending on your building type and occupancy. We supply wire mesh safety panels, polypropylene safety nets, and solid steel back-stop bars in configurations to match your rack depth and beam spacing. Load beam safety clips (sometimes called beam locks or safety pins) are a small but critical accessory. They prevent beams from accidentally dislodging from uprights during loading operations and are recommended by the RMI for all installations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Safety and Protection in Spanish Fork

What should I do if a rack upright is damaged by a forklift?

Take the damaged bay out of service immediately. Remove all product and cordon off the area. Do not attempt to repair it with non-OEM parts or continue using it. Contact us for a professional inspection. A qualified engineer will assess the damage against RMI ANSI MH16.1 criteria and provide a written repair or replacement recommendation.
