Description
On a busy pallet truck or roll cage doorway, flat clear strips soon scuff, cloud and tear. Ribbed strips are made for that traffic. Raised ribs run the full length of these clear PVC strips, so loads ride on the ribs instead of dragging across the whole face and the view through stays clearer for longer. Every strip is cut to the length you choose and drilled with the hanging holes for an aluminium twin track fixing plate, ready to clamp on with the plate, nuts and bolts from your old strip. Choose 200mm x 2mm, 300mm x 3mm or 400mm x 4mm, from 1 metre up to 3, 5 or 10 metres long. The price shown is per strip and includes VAT.
Is my rail twin track?
A twin track rail is a slim aluminium extrusion with two parallel grooves along its face, fixed above the opening on L-shaped brackets. Each strip is clamped under its own flat aluminium fixing plate, held by bolts that slide in the grooves. If your strips hang from hooks, see our hook-on ribbed strips. If each strip bolts into a hinge clamp on a round steel tube, see our swivel hinge ribbed strips.
Which size do I need?
Match the strips already on your rail. Measure the width of an old strip, or count the bolts across its fixing plate: on our strips, 200mm strips take 2 bolts, 300mm take 3 and 400mm take 4. When you choose a size, the photo changes to show that plate. Not sure? Send a photo to sales@industrialsuppliesco.co.uk or call 01744 520 110 and we will check before you order.

Why ribbed strip
Built for wheeled traffic. The ribs take the rubbing from pallets, cages and trolleys, so the clear PVC between them is protected from scuffs and scratches.
Loads pass through more easily. With less of the strip touching the load, goods slide through more easily.
Still clear. People can see each other through the curtain. The ribs add faint vertical lines to the view, but they do not block it.
Mix with flat strips. Ribbed strips clamp onto the same rail as flat clear strips of the same width, so you can fit them only where loads pass. Flat strips are on our twin track clear strips page.
Choosing the length
Measure an old strip end to end. If it is damaged or stretched, measure from the top edge under the fixing plate to just above the floor. Lengths go up in 100mm steps to 3 metres, then in 500mm steps. For an exact length, choose the next size up, then trim the bottom of the strip with a sharp knife against a straight edge. For a length in between on a tall door, call us for a quote.

Fitting and safety
Loosen the nuts on the fixing plate holding the worn strip, slide the strip off the bolts and lift the plate away. Push the holes in the new strip over the bolts, put the plate back over the top edge, and tighten the nuts evenly so the strip is clamped flat. Check it overlaps the strips either side as before. Strips are delivered rolled, so a slight curl at the bottom is normal and drops out in time. Unrolling them flat overnight before fitting helps. On a high rail, work from a safe platform such as a podium step, never from the forks of a truck.
Twin track rails suit people, trolleys and pallet trucks. For doors with regular or heavy forklift traffic, a swivel hinge rail is the stronger choice, because each strip swings on its own hinge. Keep vehicle speeds low through any strip curtain, and replace strips that have gone cloudy or scratched so people can see each other through it.
Frequently asked questions
Are the fixing plates included?
No. The strips come cut and drilled, and you re-use the plate, nuts and bolts from the strip you are replacing. If you need new plates, call 01744 520 110.
Can I use them outside?
The PVC has anti-UV filters, but every strip lasts longer and stays clearer when it is fitted inside the opening, sheltered from the weather.
Can I use them in a freezer?
No. This ribbed PVC is recommended for 0°C to +40°C and stiffens below freezing. For freezers, choose our twin track freezer strips, in polar clear or polar ribbed.
Why is there a minimum order?
Strips are cut and drilled to order, so the minimum order is 10 strips. If you need fewer, call 01744 520 110.
