Safe and sound: Mecalux introduces
an innovative safety locking mechanism
Safety in the warehouse is the foundation
on which to develop an installation’s day-today
work operations in an efficient and riskfree
way. Therefore, Mecalux invests a significant
part of its R&D resources to improve
the security devices of all its products.
The latest innovation in this respect is the
incorporation of a new junction system
between uprights and beams in Mecalux
pallet racks. This involves a connector with
a locking system, developed to provide
greater safety on the whole.
Its most outstanding contribution is the integration
of a safety locking mechanism in
the actual connector, which results in two
key advantages: on the one hand, it is impossible
for the safety device not to work
or to lose it accidentally; while on the other
hand, once it is assembled it is not possible
to remove it without the disassembly of the
entire beam. This prevents accidental or
deliberate manipulation of the connector –
with a blow by a forklift, for example – thus
avoiding the beam displacement and its
possible consequences, such as the collapse
of the load.
After successfully introducing this new
locking system into installations set up in
the United States, where Mecalux is a leader
in the pallet racking market, it is now
integrating it into all their projects within
Europe.
They are the only manufacturer on the
European continent to develop and incorporate
this breakthrough device into their
storage solutions.
