Why do I need column protection in my warehouse?
In a busy warehouse exposed columns or pillars may be susceptible to impacts from nearby work vehicles and machinery. By installing a column protector you can instantly reduce the damage to these important columns and help to keep infrastructure from taking impact. If these pillars and columns take too much damage it is possible that there may be structural damage over time. Installing correct equipment is a sure way to maintain excellent safety standards at all times.
Our plastic column protectors can wrap all the way around a column or pillar and will provide excellent damage protection from impact pallet trucks or forlifts in a warehouse.
If you need something more heavy duty we can also provide high quality steel column protectors, perfect for the busiest of warehouses, loading bays or freight depots. Each steel column protector is made from high quality galvanised steel and will provide years of professional use on site.
Column guards can also be used as pallet rack protection to protect pallet racking from forklift impats.
Combine column protection with hoop barriers or industrial railing to cover open spaces and further enhance safety measures in your warehouses.
Existing concrete columns can be reinforced with plastic or steel guards to reduce the risk of impact damage. The column guards will help with absorbing or deflecting impacts from work vehicles which lessens damage to the column. This can result in better protection to infrastructure and reduced need for costly warehouse repairs.
Column guards are generally made from one of three materials:
- Plastic - plastic column protectors are usually fastened directly to the exposed column and can withstand light impacts from work vehicles.
- Rubber - rubber protectors provide a great flexibility for installation and offer a great resistance to impact.
- Steel - the strongest column protectiong option. Steel column guards are highly suited to exposed columns where there is frequent work vehicle traffic.
The advantages of column protectors are
- Cost-effective protection for exposed columns
- Reduces the need for constant repairs
- Reduced risk of warehouse accidents
- Better protection for staff, stock and assets
- Quick and easy installation compared to larger scale infrastructure changes
