Rack Safety Nets
Rack safety nets fulfil three main purposes. Firstly, they are used as vertical protection in high-bay warehouses to prevent goods from falling out of the racking and to protect people on traffic routes from falling objects. Here, the affected sides of the racking are secured vertically so that the racking is closed like a grid. Another important area of application is personal safety. In this case, the nets are stretched horizontally to protect people whose fall could not be prevented, thus preventing injuries from deeper falls. Finally, rack safety nets are also used as goods separation nets. They are used to divide storage areas within industrial halls or to secure goods from tipping over.

Pallet Rack Safety Nets Guarantee a High Standard of Safety
In a model warehouse safety system, racks and warehouse devices are regularly inspected and personnel trained. However, the vitally important safety nets are frequently forgotten. Should a human error occur – as can happen at any time – they protect goods from damage and can, in an extreme case, save human lives.
In most storage areas, pallet racks are used. As a rule, they are designed to be just the right size to hold pallets. Safetynet365 offers you pallet rack safety nets in standard sizes to fit either one, two or three shelf bays of different heights. If you are storing goods individually rather than on standard pallet racks, the experienced Safetynet365 team will produce custom-made pallet rack safety nets for you. This likewise applies if you plan to use the safety net to protect normal shelves.
The material thickness of the storage rack nets is adapted to the type of warehouse goods that need to be protected. Ideally, it is best to protect exceptionally heavy goods with a 5 mm-thick net and lighter goods with a 3 mm-thick net. A mesh size of 45 mm meets the relevant safety standard. The net material is highly tear proof, weather-resistant polypropylene.
The safety nets cannot demonstrate their full effectiveness unless they have been installed correctly. You can find accessories and fasteners at our safety net shop too. Among other items, these include snap hooks, turnbuckles, cross ropes and safety stops.

FAQ ‐ Frequently Asked Questions- How can shelving systems be secured?
- How is a shelf safety net installed?
- Is there a standard for pallet rack securing?
Safety nets in high-bay warehouses protect both goods from falling out and people from falling objects. They are installed vertically to close shelves over a wide area and horizontally to protect people from injuries caused by falling objects. According to the workplace guidelines ASR 12/1-3 and ASR 17/1.2, such protective devices, such as safety nets, are required for higher workplaces and traffic routes without adequate protection. DGUV regulations 108-007 and 101-011 specify the requirements for safety measures and the use of safety nets in storage facilities and high-bay racking systems.
In addition to protection against falling objects, horizontally tensioned nets are an important measure to protect people who could not avoid a fall from serious injury.
Rack safety nets can be attached in various ways. One option is to use steel cable frames, where steel wire ropes are stretched in front of the surface to form a frame to which the net can be easily attached using snap hooks or shackles. Alternatively, ties such as quick-release buckles or disposable ties can be used to attach the net directly to the uprights and crossbars. This method enables quick assembly and dismantling. Another option is fastening with lines, where the net is tied directly to the supporting structure mesh by mesh. This ensures a uniform mesh pattern and optimum load distribution.
Safety in storage and retrieval centres is regulated by the workplace guidelines ASR 12/1-3 ‘Protection against falling and falling objects’ and ASR 17/1.2 ‘Traffic routes’. These guidelines stipulate that protective equipment such as safety nets must be installed at higher workstations and traffic routes that are not adequately protected by defences in order to prevent falling objects.
In addition, the German Social Accident Insurance has published Rule 108-007 ‘Storage facilities and equipment’, which defines specific requirements for safety measures in storage facilities. For the use of personal safety nets in high-bay racking systems, nets with properties in accordance with DIN EN 1263 (safety nets) are used. The exact requirements and regulations for their installation in high-bay racking systems are set out in Annex 2 of DGUV Regulation 101-011 ‘Use of safety nets’.
