Why it works

Full-width protection for busy aisles

Three-sided impact protection

The U-profile wraps around an upright, column or partition, covering the front and both sides from forklift and pallet strikes.

High-visibility finish

Powder-coated yellow and black flags the hazard to drivers and pedestrians.

Secure six-point fixing

Six anchor points per profile bolt the guard down for a stable, permanent install.

Three heights, two thicknesses

400mm, 800mm or 1200mm in 5mm or 6mm steel, so you can match the protector to the impact zone.
Overview

BLACK BULL Heavy Duty Steel Pallet Racking Protectors - U Profile - Overview

The BLACK BULL U-Profile protector is a three-sided steel guard for pallet racking uprights, columns and partitions. Made from 5mm or 6mm top-grade steel and powder-coated yellow and black, it bolts down around the base of the upright to absorb impacts from forklifts and pallets in warehouses, ports and manufacturing units.

Frequently asked questions

What does the U-profile protect against, and how is it different to the right-angle version?

It wraps around three sides of an upright, column or partition rather than just one corner, so it takes the impact whichever direction a forklift or pallet strikes from. The right-angle profile only covers two faces, so choose the U-profile where the exposed steelwork faces traffic from more than one side.

What height should I fit?

Heights run from 400mm to 1200mm - 400mm covers most standard uprights, and 800mm or 1200mm extend the guarded zone on taller or higher-risk aisles. Match the height to where impacts actually happen on your racking.

Is 5mm or 6mm the right thickness?

5mm is available on the 400mm height; 6mm runs across all three heights and gives extra resistance where fork-truck traffic is heaviest.

How does it fix down?

It bolts through six anchor points in the base plate. Fixing bolts are sold separately, so you can choose the right ones for your floor.

Can it go outdoors?

No. This protector is designed for internal use only.

Does it only fit pallet racking uprights?

No. It also protects machinery corners, rectangular columns and partition or mezzanine support posts wherever steelwork needs guarding on more than one side.

How heavy is each protector?

Weight depends on height and thickness: 10kg for 400mm/5mm, 11kg for 400mm/6mm, 20kg for 800mm/6mm and 26kg for 1200mm/6mm - every size is a manageable lift for one person, though the taller units are easier to fit with two.
