Rack Armour (Australia) Pty Ltd, the Australian branch of the Rack Group in the UK, reports it has received "overwhelming" interest from major corporations since its launch in September.

Director Alex Robinson told Forkliftaction.com News that the company's first public showing of its Rack Armour product was at The Safety Show in Sydney last month.

"We had an overwhelming response from people just walking past, seeing the demonstrations and having a chat," he said. "The product has been an enormous success in the UK, and thankfully that seems to have been mirrored in Australia."

Rack Armour is a plastic impact absorber designed to protect racking systems from buckling due to impacts with forklifts or other mobile equipment. The product is basically quite simple and is made from ballistics-grade dense plastic.

Since the Safety Show, Rack Armour reports it has received expressions of interest from Australian corporations such as Woolworths, Harvey-Norman, Sanitarium, Kimberly-Clark and DHL.
