Pallet Racking Roller Shutters

Looking to secure high value items within your pallet racking bays?

Security Direct has helped our customers find solutions to this problem. The biggest problem is the standard pallet racking is not designed to carry the extra weight of a roller shutter door. A roller shutter to fit a standard 2.7m W x 5m high bay, can weigh anything from 300-400kgs. A lot of this weight is at the head, when the shutter is in the up position. The extra weight and forces the shutter creates at the head, could affect the racking structure and loadings.

The other issue is the vertical legs of a normal pallet racking is only 2/3mm thick. The steel is not thick enough to get a strong enough fixing for the roller shutter and is not designed to have a roller shutter fixed to it. These thin legs may also twist whilst the shutter is moving up and down.

The only way to get around these issues is to make a special racking bay out of 100mm x 100mm Box Section, which is designed to carry the extra weight of a roller shutter.

The most popular product we use on Pallet Racking Solution is the Commercial Metal Shutters. It is a secure, cost effective roller shutter that can cover large openings, available with Solid or Vision Slats, available in a range of different motors to suit the required number of uses. If you need something that provides a high level of security, then we have our Insurance Approved Roller Shutters, which have been independently tested by the Insurance Companies.
