Anti-Collapse Mesh – Safety & Protection for Warehouse Racking

In every warehouse or storage facility, safety must go hand in hand with efficiency. Even the most durable pallet racking systems and warehouse racking are exposed to risks from everyday use, forklift impacts, and unsecured stock. Anti-collapse mesh is designed to solve this problem, acting as a strong, protective barrier that prevents goods from falling into aisles or walkways. Installed at the rear or sides of storage racking or warehouse pallet shelving, it ensures products remain securely in place, even when stored above eye level or in busy traffic areas.

At Ikon, our anti-collapse mesh systems are designed to support the SpaceSmart ethos — helping businesses maximise capacity while maintaining the highest levels of warehouse racking safety.

What is Anti-Collapse Mesh?

Anti-collapse mesh is a steel mesh panel system that integrates with racking and storage equipment to prevent items from falling from shelves or pallets. Unlike solid barriers, the mesh design allows airflow, visibility, and sprinkler penetration, making it ideal for compliance with modern warehouse racking systems.

It is particularly valuable in facilities using industrial pallet racking, warehouse pallet racking, longspan shelving, or cantilever racking systems where goods are stored at height and aisles are busy with forklift and pedestrian traffic. By acting as a safety net, anti-collapse mesh minimises risks, protects valuable stock, and reinforces the reliability of your pallet storage system.

Benefits of Anti-Collapse Mesh

The installation of anti-collapse mesh provides multiple advantages. It enhances safety by preventing accidents and injuries caused by falling products, ensuring a safer workplace for staff working around industrial warehouse racking. It also protects stock by holding pallets, cartons, and irregular loads securely in place, reducing the cost of damage and waste.

Because the mesh maintains visibility, staff can easily locate items within pallet racking or warehouse shelving while ensuring ventilation and sprinkler coverage remain effective. Manufactured from robust steel, anti-collapse mesh offers long-term durability and is compatible with virtually any pallet racking installation, from drive-in racking and adjustable racking to timber storage racking and industrial shelving systems.

Applications in Warehouse Storage

Anti-collapse mesh is widely used across warehouse and storage environments where goods are stored above ground level. In pallet warehouse racking, it prevents stock from being dislodged into aisles or loading zones. In warehouse shelving and racking systems, it provides extra protection for lighter stockrooms or retail environments. It is essential in high-bay warehouses where goods are stacked multiple levels high, offering peace of mind that stock is safe and staff are protected.

This makes anti-collapse mesh particularly valuable in distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, and any warehouse where a pallet racking system forms the backbone of operations.

Compliance and Safety

Modern safety standards, including SEMA racking inspections, place a strong emphasis on preventing falling objects in warehouse operations. Anti-collapse mesh helps businesses stay compliant, pass warehouse racking inspections with confidence, and reduce the risk of costly liability claims. It not only demonstrates a proactive approach to workplace safety but also extends the service life of your warehouse racking system.
