Smarter Storage With IKON
Every warehouse is unique, but the priority is always the same: safety, efficiency, and compliance. Ikon’s pallet racking accessories help you protect your investment while creating a SpaceSmart warehouse that is safer, more flexible, and more productive.
Heavy-Duty Safety Accessories
While a standard pallet racking installation provides the essential backbone of your commercial storage, integrating the right accessories is what truly transforms it into a high-performance system. In busy, high-traffic warehouses, the risk of forklift collisions and accidental damage is constant. By equipping your system with heavy-duty structural safeguards—such as column guards and full bay protection—you shield your vulnerable uprights from impact. This proactive approach not only significantly extends the lifespan of your racking and minimises costly repairs, but it also ensures your facility remains fully compliant with strict SEMA health and safety standards.
Improve Efficiency & Safety
Beyond physical protection, our comprehensive range of accessories allows you to adapt your standard bays to handle almost any stock profile. Adding mesh or timber decks instantly creates a secure, durable surface for cartons and non-palletised goods, while maintaining vital ventilation and sprinkler coverage. For highly specialised inventory, we supply robust support bars, pallet backstops, and underslung dividers to keep mixed SKUs perfectly organised and secure. Whether you need custom fork entry bars, wire coil supports, or heavy-duty container supports, we provide the exact components required to streamline your workflow and future-proof your storage capabilities.
A pallet racking installation provides the backbone of warehouse storage, but accessories make it work harder for your business. By adding the right enhancements, you can:
Enhance safety
Protect staff, equipment, and stock from collisions, falls, and damage.
Improve efficiency
Streamline picking, loading, and handling processes.
Increase flexibility
Adapt racking to handle a wider variety of loads.
Extend durability
Reduce wear and tear, minimising costly racking repairs.
Stay compliant
Support workplace safety standards and SEMA racking inspections.
Accessories don’t just protect your racking — they protect your people, products, and profits.
Ikon offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of warehouse racking accessories in the UK, including:
Column Guards & Bay Protection
Shield uprights and entire bays from forklift impact, reducing structural damage and repair costs.
Mesh & Timber Decks
Provide safe, durable shelving surfaces for cartons, irregular stock, or non-palletised goods while allowing ventilation and fire safety compliance.
Dividers & Underslung Compartments
Keep products separated and organised, ideal for pipes, panels, or mixed SKUs.
Support & Entry Bars
Increase load capacity and make forklift handling safer for non-standard pallets or containers.
Specialist Supports
Options such as wire coil supports, container supports, and spigot arms extend the functionality of your industrial racking system to suit unique storage needs.
Together, these accessories create a SpaceSmart storage solution tailored to your stock profile and warehouse layout.
Equipping your warehouse pallet racking with the right accessories provides measurable benefits:
Greater safety
Reduced accidents and protection against falling stock.
Higher efficiency
Faster order picking and improved workflows.
More flexibility
Adaptable racking and shelving for diverse loads.
Longer lifespan
Less wear from impacts and heavy use.
Improved compliance
Systems aligned with UK health and safety standards.
Store and separate vertically stored items with the use of adjustable D dividers. These are available in a variety of sizes for all types of pallet racking.
We offer both mesh decks and timber decks; ideal for storing pallets safely, creating pick levels and storing irregular sized goods.
Single and double pallet backstops serve as safety measures designed to prevent pallets from falling during improper manoeuvres. They feature a metal profile mounted on two arms secured to the sides of the uprights.
These bars integrate effortlessly with your existing pallet racking, boosting stability and safety across various warehousing environments. Ideal for multiple applications, they offer practical solutions to enhance overall warehouse functionality and security.
Raised support fork entry bars enable the entry of forklifts under the unit load. They are used in cases in which loads without pallets or bottom runners are stored. They are the perfect solution for easy loading and unloading.
Coil supports for racking are designed to securely hold heavy coils in place, preventing unwanted movement and ensuring safe storage, while still allowing for the selection of various wire lengths.
Container supports are used when the unit loads to be stored are containers with legs at their ends.
Custom-designed and adaptable security cages built around standard pallet racking protect valuable assets while restricting access to potentially hazardous areas, such as zones with heavy machinery or forklift truck routes where injuries could occur.
The underslung dividers offer an alternative approach to traditional vertical pallet racking dividers, delivering functionality similar to the D Divider. However, instead of catering to long, slender items, the underslung loop divider is ideally suited for storing large, flat objects—like sheets of wood, metal, and glass.
Engineered for the vertical storage of long items like timber and pipes, the spigot arm offers a versatile solution that installs without drilling—preserving your racking’s integrity. Its innovative design delivers unmatched flexibility and space optimisation, making it ideal for industries that require efficient organisation and quick access to cumbersome items.

We also specialise in multi-tier shelving and structural mezzanine floors. Book a free site survey to find the exact system that fits your operational needs.
Choosing the right industrial racking depends on your stock profile, forklift type, and available floor space. Our expert team takes the guesswork out of this process by conducting a comprehensive, free site survey and space planning assessment. We analyse your daily workflow and inventory management to design a bespoke, high-density storage solution that maximises your capacity and efficiency. Speak to an expert today.
Yes. Beyond professional, safe installation by certified teams, we provide complete lifecycle support for your warehouse racking. This includes routine maintenance, rapid damage repair, and formal SEMA-aligned racking inspections to ensure your facility remains strictly compliant with UK health and safety regulations. Protect your workforce and your investment with our tailored aftercare packages. Explore our inspection services.
Lead times vary depending on the scale and complexity of your storage project. For standard stock items and simple industrial shelving, we can often provide next-day delivery. For larger, bespoke installations—such as complete warehouse fit-outs, heavy-duty pallet racking, or custom mezzanine floors—lead times typically range up to 6 weeks. We always provide a clear, transparent project timeline during your initial consultation to ensure minimal disruption to your operations.
Absolutely. We understand that upgrading your commercial storage is a significant capital investment. To help you manage cash flow while still expanding your operational capacity, we offer flexible, competitive financing options for all our racking and mezzanine installations. Contact our team to discuss a budget-friendly payment plan tailored specifically to your business needs.
Under UK health and safety legislation, your warehouse racking must be maintained in a safe working condition. The Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association (SEMA) highly recommends that a formal, documented inspection is carried out by a technically competent person—such as a SEMA Approved Rack Inspector (SARI)—at least once every 12 months. Alongside this annual check, you should conduct regular in-house visual inspections to spot immediate damage. Ikon offers comprehensive, SEMA-aligned inspection and maintenance packages to keep your facility fully compliant.
In most cases, installing a mezzanine floor inside your existing warehouse does not require planning permission, as it is considered an internal alteration. However, it will always require Building Regulations approval to ensure it meets strict structural, fire safety, and accessibility standards. At Ikon, our end-to-end service means we manage the entire Building Regulations application process on your behalf, ensuring your new mezzanine is completely compliant and hassle-free.
The load capacity of industrial pallet racking varies significantly depending on the specific system, the height of the frames, the type of beams used, and how the weight is distributed. For example, standard adjustable pallet racking can often hold several tonnes per level, while heavy-duty systems like Drive-In racking are engineered for high-density bulk storage. To ensure maximum safety, load capacity signs (Safe Working Load notices) must always be clearly displayed. If you are unsure what capacity you need, contact Ikon for a free site survey to calculate your exact requirements.
Yes, absolutely. We do much more than just install new systems. If you are moving premises, we offer complete warehouse relocation services, safely dismantling your existing racking and re-installing it at your new site. We also provide certified racking repair services; if a forklift collision damages an upright or beam, our maintenance team can replace the compromised components swiftly to minimise operational downtime and keep your racking SEMA-compliant.
SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association) is the UK’s leading body for safe storage practice. Their guidelines cover the safe design, installation, use, and maintenance of warehouse racking. Key SEMA recommendations include ensuring all racking is installed by qualified professionals, conducting annual expert safety inspections, promptly reporting and repairing accidental damage, and displaying clear load capacity notices on every rack. Ikon strictly adheres to SEMA guidelines across all our installations and maintenance services to guarantee the safety of your workforce.
