Save-Ty Yellow Products | Authorized Distributor and Installation Partner

About Save-Ty Yellow Products

Save-Ty Yellow Products is an Illinois-based manufacturer of facility asset-protection and safety equipment for warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing plants. Founded in 2003, the company builds a full range of impact-protection products designed to shield people, racking, inventory, and building infrastructure from forklift damage — steel guardrail and handrail, rack post protectors, end-of-aisle guards, flue spacers and pallet backstops, bollards, building column protectors, dock and door safety, mezzanine and industrial safety gates, and collision-awareness warning systems.

Every Save-Ty product is American-made, manufactured in Rockford, Illinois under an ISO 9001-certified quality program using CNC fabrication, robotic welding, and precision powder coating, then finished in high-visibility safety yellow for long-lasting durability. Save-Ty works as a solution provider, offering multiple models within each product line along with custom applications, so protection can be matched to a facility's specific layout and risk points. Products carry a standard 5-year warranty.

SJF Material Handling is a dealer and distributor of Save-Ty products, which we supply and install as part of our full-service warehouse and rack projects. As a third-generation, brand-agnostic integrator, we recommend the protection that fits your facility rather than a single manufacturer's catalog — and Save-Ty's American-made line fits the way we work. We focus on the products that solve the most common warehouse impact problems: guardrail to separate forklift traffic from people and equipment, and flue spacers and pallet backstops to keep loads positioned correctly and flue spaces clear inside your racking. Whether the job is a run of guardrail or facility-wide rack protection, our crews handle the layout, supply, and installation as one coordinated job.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What products does Save-Ty make?

    Save-Ty Yellow Products manufactures steel safety and impact-protection equipment for warehouses and distribution centers, including guardrail and handrail, rack post protectors, flue spacers and pallet backstops, bollards, column protectors, dock and door safety, mezzanine safety gates, and collision-awareness systems. Everything is built in Illinois under an ISO 9001-certified quality program and finished in high-visibility safety yellow. SJF supplies and installs the full Save-Ty line as part of warehouse and rack projects.

  • What is the difference between guardrail and rack protection?

    Guardrail protects open floor areas — it separates forklift traffic from pedestrians, walls, and equipment with a continuous steel barrier. Rack protection guards the racking itself: post protectors and end-of-aisle guards absorb impact at the upright, while flue spacers and pallet backstops keep loads positioned correctly inside the rack. Most warehouses need both, and SJF can lay out where each belongs during a facility walk-through.

  • Are Save-Ty products made in the USA and built to a quality standard?

    Yes. Save-Ty products are American-made, manufactured in Illinois using CNC fabrication, robotic welding, and precision powder coating under an ISO 9001-certified quality program. Every product carries a standard 5-year warranty. SJF installs Save-Ty equipment to manufacturer specifications and integrates it with rack systems that meet ANSI/RMI standards.

  • What do flue spacers and pallet backstops do?

    Both help maintain flue spaces — the vertical and horizontal gaps in loaded rack that let sprinkler water and heat move through the system. Flue spacers hold a fixed gap at the rack frame (3" per side) or between back-to-back pallets (6"), while pallet backstops keep forklift operators from pushing loads past that gap and into the flue. Keeping flue spaces clear supports passive fire protection and warehouse fire-code compliance, and SJF can spec the right combination for your rack configuration.

  • Does SJF install Save-Ty products, or just sell them?

    SJF installs Save-Ty products as part of full-service warehouse and rack projects — whether the job is facility-wide guardrail, rack post protection, or flue-space backstops, our crews handle the install directly. For customers who only need the product shipped, we can supply Save-Ty equipment on its own. Most projects benefit from having the same team handle design, supply, and installation.

  • How do I know which Save-Ty products my facility needs?

    It depends on where your impact and safety risks are — high-traffic aisles usually call for guardrail and bollards, rack systems need post protectors and backstops, and elevated work areas need mezzanine safety gates. Rather than guessing, SJF can walk your facility, identify the exposure points, and recommend the right Save-Ty products for each area. That way you protect what actually needs it instead of over-buying.
