Understanding What’s at Stake
It only takes a moment. One careless movement during racking installation and fit-out and concrete and resin warehouse floors can be left with scuffs that no amount of polishing will shift. The good news is that almost all of this is preventable with the right temporary cover.
Forklift tyres grind grit into the surface, so cover high-traffic marshalling lanes, and left unguarded they quickly pick up racking upright drops, forklift and scissor-lift tyres, bolt and anchor drilling. A purpose-made polypropylene honeycomb sheet spreads point loads across its rigid cellular core, shrugs off knocks, and keeps what is underneath looking exactly as it did before work started.
Installing the Cover Correctly
A careful routine makes all the difference. Here is the method we recommend:
- board racking-installation zones
- protect charging and marshalling areas
- cover drilling stations
- use heavy-duty rigid panels under point loads
The Most Common Causes of Damage
The causes are rarely exotic. Time and again, the harm comes from a short, familiar list:
- racking upright drops
- forklift and scissor-lift tyres
- bolt and anchor drilling
- dragged pallets
What Makes This Material Different
Unlike flimsy films or heavy plywood, polypropylene honeycomb sheet hits a sweet spot. It is waterproof, will not rot or delaminate, resists chemicals, and can be wiped clean and reused across many jobs before being recycled at the end of its life.
Boards can be trimmed to size on site with a standard blade, taped at the seams, and lifted just as fast when the work is done — no specialist kit required.
