Your Rack System Changed. Did your Rack Netting?

Warehouse operations rarely stay the same, and at Eagle Material Handling, we've seen that firsthand. As facilities grow, inventory changes, storage heights increase, and rack systems evolve to support new demands. What worked a few years ago may look very different today. 

The challenge is that rack protection doesn't always change with it. As facilities continue adapting to faster-moving operations and changing storage needs, it's worth taking a closer look at whether your current rack netting solution still fits the way your warehouse operates. 

Warehouse Operations Change Over Time

Growth is a good thing. But growth often brings changes that can create new safety considerations: 

• Higher storage heights 

• Increased pallet overhang 

• Different product types and weights 

• More movement throughout the facility 

• Expanded storage areas 

As these changes occur, the risks associated with falling inventory can change too. That's why Rack Netting shouldn't be viewed as a one-time decision. It should be evaluated as operations evolve.

Not Every Rack Netting System Is Built the Same 

One of the biggest misconceptions about rack netting is that there's a single solution for every facility. In reality, different warehouse environments often require different approaches. 

• Flushmount Rack Netting: Ideal for facilities with little to no pallet overhang. Netting mounts directly against the rack structure for a clean, space-efficient solution.  

• Standard Offset Rack Netting: Designed for applications with pallet overhang. Offset brackets create additional clearance while maintaining falling-object protection.  

• Frame Extension Rack Netting: Adds protection above existing rack systems, making it ideal for facilities utilizing increased storage heights and vertical space.  

• EZ Bracket Rack Netting: Designed for faster installation and easier adjustments, helping simplify rack netting projects without sacrificing protection. Learn more here.

Even small changes in storage practices can impact how effectively a rack netting system performs. 

Protection That Fits the Operation

At Eagle MH, we don't believe protection should be one-size-fits-all. That's why our rack netting solutions are designed around how facilities actually operate, with options for pallet overhang, expanded height requirements, installation preferences, and custom warehouse configurations. Because when your operation changes, your protection should be able to keep up. .
