Why Holding Tube Protection Matters

Tube protection for industrial racks is more than just a nice-to-have feature—it’s essential for maintaining the quality of finished parts during drying, storage, or transport. Many industries, from woodworking to automotive, deal with delicate surfaces that can be easily scratched or marked. FlexiRacks offers coated steel arms specifically designed to shield your materials and eliminate the need for makeshift solutions like cardboard or foam wraps.

Common Industry “Fixes” That Fall Short

Many rack systems on the market don’t come with any protective coating. This forces users to improvise, leading to a variety of ineffective or risky workarounds:

• Sponge Wrapping: Customers wrap foam or sponge tubing around the bar to prevent scratching—this collects dirt and is difficult to clean.
• Cardboard Padding: Others place cardboard on top of the tubes, which is unsightly, non-durable, and offers no reliable protection.
• Bare Metal Paint: While painted metal bars may seem harmless, they often leave marks or stains on the backside of wet parts, especially when solvent- or water-based materials are involved.
• Plastic Sleeves: Some wrap the tubes with plastic, unsure why—this only creates unnecessary buildup and doesn’t provide real protection.

All of these methods lead to inconsistent results, extra cleanup, or worse, damaged finished parts.

The FlexiRacks Solution: Purpose-Built Protective Coated Tubes

Rather than rely on add-ons, FlexiRacks builds protection into the core design with specially rubberized tube covers. These are not just rubber sleeves—they are custom-coated for industrial use
