Single Pallet Stops for Flue Space Protection in Back-to-Back Rows of Pallet Rack

Single pallet stops, or flue space protectors, help maintain consistent spacing in back-to-back pallet racking. Unlike double pallet stops, which require uniform spacing, single pallet stops offer flexibility for racks with varying flue spaces. This makes them a practical solution for warehouses with misaligned racks or inconsistent spacing. By preventing pallets from encroaching into flue spaces, they help maintain compliance with fire safety regulations.

Many municipalities, Fire Marshals, and insurance companies require a 6-inch flue space in warehouse storage to improve fire protection. This ensures sprinkler systems can operate effectively, reducing fire spread. Single pallet stops create a physical barrier that keeps pallets from being pushed too far back, ensuring clear flue spaces and helping warehouses meet fire codes while minimizing liability risks.

Beyond fire safety, single pallet stops prevent pallet push-through, a common issue in high-density storage. Forklifts can accidentally push pallets too far, causing them to obstruct flue spaces or fall into adjacent racks. This upsets storage efficiency and poses safety risks for workers. By keeping pallets in place, single pallet stops reduce product damage and improve warehouse organization.

As an affordable alternative to double pallet stops, single pallet stops are easy to install and adapt to racking systems. They help warehouse operators boost safety and compliance without major modifications.
