As more and more companies are getting some or all of their components manufactured overseas the strong Australian Dollar is causing prices to drop.

The Rack Armour is stretched open to fit around the base of the pallet racking post and reverts back to its original form, hugging the pallet racking post tightly. This eliminates any need to mechanically fix the Rack Armour to the pallet racking or into the concrete floor.
