Pallet Racking Push Through Protection Factory & Exporter in the United States Market

In typical American warehouse configurations, standard 48" deep wooden pallets (such as GMA pallets) are placed on 42" deep rack frames. This creates a natural 3-inch pallet overhang in both front and rear. Therefore, push-through stops are generally engineered with an offset of 3.0 to 4.5 inches past the rear beam face. This allows the pallet to sit fully flush on the rear load beam without inducing unneeded point-stress against the stop, while preventing the pallet from protruding into the mandatory 6-inch longitudinal flue space.

While OSHA General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1)) mandates that employers provide a workplace free from recognized hazards—including falling pallet stock—the explicit physical requirement usually stems from NFPA 13 (Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems) and International Fire Code (IFC) Chapter 32. These fire codes require the maintenance of unobstructed vertical flue spaces so fire sprinkler deluge systems can function. Push-through stops are the recognized physical engineering control to satisfy fire marshals and prevent code citations.

Yes. Our push-through assemblies are engineered with modular universal mounting plates. We manufacture wrap-around clamp brackets for standard 1-5/8" step beams, as well as upright side-plate brackets that bolt directly into the teardrop or round punchings of upright frame columns. No field cutting or welding is required, allowing rapid installation without shutting down active distribution aisles.

Under ANSI MH16.1 specifications, seismic zones require racks to handle horizontal dynamic motion without shedding unit loads. Our backstop rails and heavy-duty wire containment panels are engineered with ductile steel alloys and Grade 5 shear bolts that absorb harmonic wave energy. They prevent individual pallet loads from walking off the rear beam step during minor seismic tremors.

For ambient temperature dry goods warehouses, our thermoset TGIC-free polyester powder coat (Safety Yellow or Safety Orange) provides superior abrasion and chip resistance. For freezer environments (-20°F or lower) or FDA-regulated food processing facilities where high humidity and regular washdowns occur, we provide hot-dip galvanization conforming to ASTM A123, ensuring decades of rust-free operation.

Factory production typically requires 15 to 25 days depending on total linear footage and customization. Ocean freight transit to West Coast ports (Los Angeles/Long Beach) spans approximately 14 to 18 days, while East Coast ports (Savannah, NY/NJ) take approximately 28 to 32 days. We coordinate full Door-to-Door DDP or CIF logistics, handling customs clearance, tariffs, and inland drayage directly to your job site or staging depot.
