Anti Collapse Mesh Ireland
RackZone supplies the Troax Musca anti-collapse mesh system to warehouses, distribution centres, and 3PL facilities across Ireland. Engineered to prevent pallet collapse, dropped items, and racking failures, Musca is the European specification standard for back-of-rack safety — used in tens of thousands of warehouse installations across 50+ countries. Indoor and outdoor variants, three mesh apertures, six standard panel sizes.
Anti Collapse Mesh
Our anti collapse mesh system provides robust, reliable protection for warehouse racking, helping to prevent accidents caused by falling or dislodged goods. Designed for high-performance environments, this system is ideal for improving workplace safety while maintaining operational efficiency.
Manufactured using fully welded mesh panels with a strong 19x19mm tubular steel frame, this anti collapse mesh is engineered to withstand impacts of up to 2500 joules -equivalent to a 160 kg load travelling at 20 km/h. This makes it one of the strongest and most durable systems available on the market.
Each panel features a 50 x 100 mesh configuration and is treated with a hot dip zinc coating (minimum 7μm) applied to both wire and plate before welding. This ensures excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability, even in demanding industrial environments.
This is a made-to-order product, allowing you to specify exact dimensions to suit your racking system. The system is designed for quick, easy, and versatile installation, minimising downtime during setup.
With multiple protection levels available, the anti collapse mesh system can be tailored to meet different safety requirements across your facility. Every order is backed by a 2-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Key Features:
- Made-to-measure anti collapse mesh panels

- 50 x 100 mesh size for optimal protection
- Hot dip galvanised (7μm zinc coating) for corrosion resistance

Anti-Collapse Mesh — Two Critical Functions
Anti-collapse mesh does two distinct jobs in a modern warehouse, and the right specification depends on which one is your priority:
Function 1 — Back-of-Rack Pallet Retention
Fixed directly to the rear of pallet racking or longspan shelving, anti-collapse mesh acts as a safety net — preventing pallets, products, and packaging from falling through the back of the racking into walkways, neighbouring aisles, or pedestrian zones. The most common use case in busy distribution centres and 3PL warehouses, where pallet overhang and dropped items are everyday risks. Critical wherever stored goods sit above 2m height with workers, machinery, or stock below.
Function 2 — Mesh Partition Fencing
The same Musca panels can be used as standalone mesh partitions to separate warehouse zones, create secure bonded stores, or protect operators from machinery and forklift traffic. Different mesh apertures support different applications — 25x25mm for aerosol and chemical storage (sprinkler-compatible), 50x50mm for general security, 100x50mm for general partitioning.
Combined Specifications
Most well-specified warehouses use both — Musca behind racking on every pallet-zone aisle, plus Musca partitions creating separate zones for high-value goods, machinery enclosures, or bonded stores. One system, one supplier, one specification across the whole facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is anti collapse mesh a legal requirement in Ireland?
Is anti collapse mesh a legal requirement in Ireland?
Irish workplace safety regulations require employers to take all reasonable steps to prevent accidents. In warehouses where goods are stored at height on pallet racking, anti collapse mesh is widely regarded as an essential safety measure to protect workers and demonstrate compliance.
What is the impact resistance of Troax anti collapse mesh?
What is the impact resistance of Troax anti collapse mesh?
Troax anti collapse mesh is tested to withstand an impact of 2500 joules -equivalent to a pendulum weighing 160kg travelling at 20km/h. This is the strongest impact rating available for anti collapse mesh systems.
What size is the mesh aperture?
What size is the mesh aperture?
The mesh aperture is 50x100mm, suitable for containing goods of all standard sizes stored on pallet racking.
How long is the warranty on Troax anti collapse mesh?
How long is the warranty on Troax anti collapse mesh?
RackZone provides a 2 year warranty on all Troax anti collapse mesh orders.
Is anti collapse mesh easy to install?
Is anti collapse mesh easy to install?
Yes. The Troax anti collapse system is designed for fast, easy, and versatile assembly with minimal disruption to warehouse operations.
Will the mesh work in cold stores and freezers?
Will the mesh work in cold stores and freezers?
Yes. Hot-dip galvanised Musca is specified for cold storage, freezer, and outdoor environments. The open mesh structure doesn't restrict airflow, making it compatible with chilled and frozen storage operations.
Can I cut the mesh to non-standard sizes?
Can I cut the mesh to non-standard sizes?
Yes. Panels can be cut to size both horizontally and vertically, with U-profile finishing strips available to seal cut edges cleanly. This allows for non-standard openings, around-column installations, and partial-bay configurations.
