A Guide to Pallet Racking Safety Pins
- Keep You Safe!

 

Pallet racking safety pins play an important part in the safety of your racking systems. Without them your system could be a safety risk to your staff and your business! 

The worst case scenario is that your racking system will collapse. Safety pins are a cost effective way to help eliminate risk.

What are pallet racking safety pins?

  • Pallet racking safety pins can be referred to as "beam locks" or "beam connector locks".
  • They are small devices that help secure your beams to the frame.
  • They are inserted into the beam and through the front face of the upright.
  • Manufacturerd from either plastic or steel, you should have 2 pins per beam.

Why should you use racking safety pins?

  • Pallet racking safety pins help prevent beams from becoming accidentally dislodged during normal loadng unloading operations.
  • The consequences of a beam becoming dislodged due to the failure of a safety pin can be serious, such as falling pallets or racking collapse.
  • In some cases, safety pins have a bearing on how a rack may or may not collapse.
  • Safety pins are required as part of the SEMA Code of Practice.
  • Racking systems without safety pins would be an Amber Risk following an inspection by a SEMA Approved Rack Inspector.

Are safety pins manufacturer specific?

  • YES! Each manufacturer has designed the racking system and safety pin to work together.
  • The safety pin will have been engineered to behave in a particular way with certain forces, such as a minimum uplift force as per the SEMA Code.
  • The pin will have "failure modes" to ensure certain forces won't damage the racking system.
  • Non standard devices such as nuts and bolts may not offer the same protection as the manufacturers own safety pins.

NB. It is important to identify your Pallet Racking!
