Chicago manufacturing is evolving with reshoring, automation, workforce, and sustainability trends. Wolter supports local facilities with in-stock forklifts, automation systems, and storage solutions to boost productivity, safety, and efficiency across the region.
Daily forklift traffic can bend or damage pallet rack uprights, leading to costly repairs and safety risks. The solution isn’t replacing entire sections—it’s adding simple protection. Wolter partners with Steel King to offer four proven options: Steel Guard™ – Heavy-duty barriers against equipment impacts. Guard Dawg® – Affordable floor-level upright protection. Column Core® – Reinforced upright strength where it’s needed most. Post Deflectors – Impact-resistant designs that extend rack life. These proactive solutions help reduce downtime, cut repair costs, and keep warehouses safe and compliant.
