Pallet Rack Accessories

1. Steel Diamond Plate (Checker Plate)

Diamond plate, also called checker plate, tread plate, or chequer plate, is steel sheet with a raised pattern, usually diamonds, that gives far more grip than flat sheet.

It is widely used as flooring for elevated walkways, mezzanine platforms, and work areas that need a strong, slip-resistant steel surface. The steel base and raised pattern make a durable surface for foot traffic and material handling equipment. Quang Min fabricates anti-slip diamond plate in custom sizes, thicknesses, and finishes for mezzanine flooring, catwalks, and heavy-duty steel storage platforms.

2. Pallet Rack Column Protector (Post Protector)

A column protector, also called a post protector or upright guard, is a heavy-duty steel guard around the base of a rack upright. It protects the column in areas where forklifts and other vehicles often make contact.

It has a tall, wrap-around steel body that encloses the lower part of the upright, plus a heavy baseplate anchored into the concrete floor. The guard absorbs and deflects impact when forklifts turn, pick loads, or stage pallets. Column protectors are usually placed at aisle entries, corner bays, and busy intersections, where they help reduce the risk of upright damage and protect the structural integrity of your rack.

3. End-of-Aisle Guard (Rack End Guard)

An end-of-aisle guard, also called a rack end guard or crash barrier, is a floor-mounted steel guard that keeps forklifts and other vehicles from striking the exposed ends of rack rows.

It is made from heavy-gauge tube or structural steel, formed into a U-shape or a long guard rail, with anchored footplates bolted to the concrete slab. Its low profile creates a barrier along the base of the racking where forklifts and pallet jacks often turn. End-of-aisle guards are typically installed at row ends, corner intersections, and high-risk traffic lanes. Quang Min makes them in custom lengths, shapes, and anchor layouts to match your floor plan, helping protect your racking and improve warehouse safety.

4. Stacking Rack Foot Cup (Cup Feet)

A foot cup, also called a cup foot or stacking cup, is a press-formed steel part with a square recessed cup, a perimeter flange, and a center hole for drainage and alignment. It is used on stacking racks and other stackable pallet structures.

Stamped with precision tooling, the cup forms a locating socket for the leg posts of the unit stacked above it. Mounted at the base corners of stacking units, foot cups align and lock upper and lower units in place during multi-tier stacking. Quang Min makes foot cups in custom sizes, steel thicknesses, and die profiles to fit different designs, for safe and stable stacking.

5. Drive-In Rack Support Arm (Rail Arm)

A drive-in rack support arm, also called a rail arm, is a load-bearing steel bracket that connects the upright frames to the horizontal pallet rails in a drive-in racking system.

Made from heavy-gauge steel, it has a cross-shaped profile with a central mounting body and two support wings, with punched holes and slots to bolt it to the upright. Once installed, the arms support the continuous pallet rails that run deep into the lane. The rails carry the pallet loads, and the arms transfer that load into the upright frames. Arms are set at each storage level according to the engineered elevations. They are an essential part of drive-in racking, which lets forklifts drive into the lane to load and retrieve pallets.

6. Pallet Rack Wire Decking (Galvanized Wire Mesh Decking)

Wire decking, also called wire mesh decking, is a drop-in deck that sits on pallet rack beams and creates a stable load-bearing surface.

It is made from resistance-welded steel wire in a uniform square grid, with a perimeter frame and U-shaped support channels underneath for rigidity. A galvanized zinc finish gives strong corrosion resistance for demanding warehouse and manufacturing environments. The open grid lets air, light, and sprinkler water pass through, makes inventory easier to see, and simplifies cleaning. Quang Min makes wire decking in custom sizes, wire gauges, mesh pitches, and channel configurations, a versatile upgrade for pallet racking and industrial shelving.

7. Pallet Rack Footplate (Baseplate)

A footplate, also called a baseplate, is the steel plate at the bottom of an upright column. It anchors the rack to the floor and spreads the column load across the concrete slab.

Quang Min’s footplates are precision-formed from steel plate into an L-shaped profile, with a vertical mounting flange and a horizontal floor plate. The flange has round bolt holes, and the floor plate has slotted (oval) anchor holes that allow for installation tolerances and concrete anchor bolts. The flange is welded to the base of the upright to secure the plate to the frame.

Quang Min runs its own hydraulic stamping presses and custom dies to make footplates, which supports consistent dimensions, flexible production, and adherence to engineering specifications. Footplates are made to order in size, thickness, and anchor hole pattern to match your column profile and load ratings.
