Plastic foot guards for warehouse shelves are anti-collision devices specially designed to protect the uprights of shelves. They are widely used in warehousing and logistics environments, especially in places where forklift operations are frequent. The following is the key information compiled based on the latest data:
Common material and structural features
At present, the mainstream plastic foot protectors mainly use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material, which has the following advantages。
1：High impact resistance: It can effectively absorb and disperse the impact force of forklifts, protecting the shelf columns from damage. Made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material, it has the following advantages:
2：Corrosion-resistant and moisture-proof: Suitable for damp and chemical environments, such as cold chain, food, and pharmaceutical warehouses。
3：Eye-catching colors: Mostly safety colors such as yellow and orange, enhancing visibility and reducing the risk of accidental collisions。
4：Easy installation: Most products are fixed with Velcro, clips or nylon straps, without the need for drilling holes or tools, making them suitable for quick deployment and replacement。
Purchase suggestions
1：Confirm the size of the column: Common column widths are 80mm, 100mm, and 120mm. When purchasing, make sure the toe guard openings match。
2：Select the structure based on the operation frequency:
High-frequency forklift operation: It is recommended to choose foot guards with a thickness of ≥6mm and a reinforced structure (such as EBIL-TECH-P6).
Low-frequency or lightweight warehouses: Portable and Velcro type foot guards are available for more flexible installation.
3：Pay attention to color and visibility: Yellow is the industry standard safety color, and some products support customization of black and yellow/red and white warning colors.
4：Whether customization is needed: Some manufacturers support customization of height, color and LOGO, which is suitable for unified brand image or special specification requirements.
Application scenario recommendation
1：Cold chain warehouse: HDPE material is recommended, which is moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant.
2：E-commerce/logistics warehouse: We recommend Velcro foot guards that are eye-catching in color and easy to install.
3：Manufacturing industry/heavy storage: We recommend reinforced foot guards that are thick and have strong impact resistance.
