Column Protector

How It Works
Column protectors are installed around the base of your upright rack columns. When a forklift or pallet jack accidentally strikes the rack, the protector:
Absorbs and disperses the impact force
Prevents the rack from bending, cracking, or weakening
Helps maintain the structural integrity of the system
Creates a visible barrier for forklift operators
Ideal for high-traffic zones and areas near loading docks or intersections.
Different Styles of Protectors
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Wrap-Around | Encloses the entire column with steel or HDPE for 360° protection |
| Bolt-On | Attaches directly to the front face of the upright for targeted impact zones |
| Snap-On/Floor-Mounted | Quick-install options that anchor to the floor for easy maintenance and removal |
Each type comes in multiple heights and thicknesses to suit your rack system and traffic conditions.
