Western Square Industries has partnered with EQX Global to develop a unique method of making barrel rooms safer. Together we tested our Seismic Safety Tray on variety of surfaces to determine the greatest combination of safety and stability. The result of is our Seismic Safety Tray on an epoxy coated floor.

How it works

• In a barrel stack, the stainless steel tray attaches underneath the bottom rack.

• The tray is placed on a concrete epoxy coated floor with the plastic slides face down.

• In an earthquake, the tray will slide against the movement of the earth.

• This decreases sway and increases the stability of the stack.

Easy Attachment

• With the flick of a finger, place the spring-loaded bar in the open position.

• Forklift the stack on top of the Safety Tray.

• Flip the spring-loaded bar closed to attach the tray to the bottom rack.
