Whether preventing goods from falling, increasing safety for warehouse staff, improving warehouse organisation or providing better visibility on your items, mesh backing has several benefits for pallet racking. It also ensures compliance with the updated Australian standards, keeping your workplace safe and regulation-compliant.
Plus, our mesh backing features an ESFR utilisation modular design*, meaning that if damage occurs, you only replace one section, not the entire system.
