Our sales team recently attended a product presentation with Jay Beaton from Save-ty Yellow Products and got a thorough look at their full facility protection lineup.

Save-ty has been building American-made safety products since 2003. Their Stand Guard guard rail is the original drop-in, lift-out design - no brackets, easier install, rated to handle forklift impacts up to 13,000 lbs at 5 mph. They also make column protectors, rack guards, dock gates, bollards, mezzanine safety gates, and more. Most products meet OSHA requirements and ship fast.
Solid products for any warehouse dealing with forklift traffic and impact risk.

Running out of space but not ready to expand?

Pushback racking is one of the simplest ways to store more pallets in the same footprint. Load from the front, unload from the front, and pallets roll forward as you pick.

Why it works:
• Store more in less space
• Faster picking than drive-in
• Better access to inventory
• Less forklift damage

It’s a strong fit for manufacturing, distribution, and cold storage where space is tight.
