For example, M dividers, which are made from 3/8” wire or 1” tubing in the shape of an “M”, allow for a wide variety of products to be stored vertically in a single bay. These dividers can have two or three brackets to mount onto the back beam of the rack and are available in any height to accommodate your products. The front edges of these dividers are also curved to prevent any sharp corners from protruding into aisles and walkways.
Other warehouse dividers include flue space and backstop dividers. These are similar to the M dividers but they’re designed to be used in carton flow rack applications.
