Dexion Capetown - 2016
"Unfortunately most companies do not see the inherent danger that comes with any form of damage to their racking until it is too late. Regular inspections should be carried out and damaged sections locked out of the system until repaired -one of the services we offer. We (Dexion South Africa) endorse the "Protect it" brand of rack protectors"

Pepsico - 2011
"Our Dandenong distribution Centre is a busy, high volume environment that services the Victorian and Tasmanian market places. Over the years we'd experienced high levels of racking upright damage and were incurring rectification costs of $40,000 plus per year. The installation of the Protect-it guards has reduced the damage by over 50% and also provided great awareness for our reach truck operators. It has been a great safety and cost initiative."

Saferak Canada - 2008
"I recently gave 6 Protect-it rack protectors to our in house installation project manager and explained how to show them to the clients where he is installing racking. The first time he showed it, one of the workers said “it will never stand up”. “Look what we are doing to the crash guards mounted on the floor”the worker said. To prove his point, he put a Protect-it on a frame, disappeared for a minute and returned with a 15 pound sledge hammer. He wound up and let it swing. As he was swinging, the project manager thought, “I hope this does what Steve said it would do as the sledge hammer hit the Protect-it with full force. The sledge hammer bounced back almost right out of his hands. An hour later the client was ordering Protect-it’s. It just goes to show how easy they are to sell."

Reece Pty Ltd - 2008
"I have been in the warehousing industry for over 15 years and have tried numerous “racking protectors” all of which the idea was ok but the design just wasn’t there. Instead of reducing the risk – They increased the risk! So when I was asked to view another racking protector, I must say I had my doubts! I would like to congratulate you and your company; finally we have a rack protector that actually works. The simple design, simple installation and it‘s economical. We trialed a number of the units for a period of 6 weeks and in that time the protector had proven its worth. We will be soon introducing these protectors to all our locations. I would be pleased to speak directly to any company considering using the “Protect-it” racking protectors, I have no hesitation in recommending their unmatched performance."

Seeley International - 2006
"We have many forklifts which need to operate and manoeuvre in and around tight locations throughout our factory. The risk of impact with racking has been a real concern, as the consequences can be devastating. We installed “Protect-it” column protectors at critical locations around the factory four months ago and have been very pleased with their ease of fitment, and suitability for racking protection. The bright yellow colour is also an added benefit to highlight the location of the racking uprights. For me, they provide peace of mind that there is protection to reduce the risk of damage to racking, stored goods, and most importantly, our employees. With such a useful and functional safety device available, it is now simple, cheap and easy to limit the risk of damage to racking systems. I can highly recommend them"
