Column Protectors

A column protector is designed to prevent damage to pallet rack upright columns during loading and removal of pallets. Column protectors are typically anchored into the flooring directly in front of the upright. Bolt-on column protectors are typically attached directly to the rack column.
Warehouse rack damage is a major occupational health and safety issue as rack is not designed to withstand an impact from a lift truck. Post protectors provide increased safety for both people and product.
When an upright frame is damaged it has to be replaced or repaired which can prove costly in both time and man power. The most common benefit experienced in using column protectors is the lower cost of replacing a protector unit vs. an entire column.
