    Plastic Column Guards

    Protect columns and vehicles from collision damage. Durable yet forgiving, these guards flex and rebound to cushion the blow. They’re tested to withstand everything from minor scrapes to direct forklift hits, so they hold up in high-traffic warehouses. Bright colors make them easy to spot in active work areas.
    A cinch to install, each guard comes in two halves that hug onto square, round, or I-beam columns and secure with the included straps. Guards can be stacked.

    Floor-Mount Steel Rack Guards

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Rack Guards. Floor-Mount Steel Rack Guards.
    Bolt these guards down in front of pallet rack posts to shield them from vehicle damage. Made of tough steel, they resist deformation and redirect collisions away from uprights in busy warehouse aisles. Bright colors make them easy to spot in active work areas. Install them with wedge anchors for concrete, or your concrete anchor of choice (not included).

    Strap On for

    Intersecting Beams

    Made from durable plastic, these guards flex to spread force and protect posts while reducing damage to the vehicles that bump them. They mount directly to the rack with no drilling or floor anchors required. Position them anywhere along the upright and stack them as needed. Bright colors make them easy to spot in active work areas.
    Strap On—Secure with two hook-and-loop straps for a snug, adjustable fit. They work on a range of upright sizes.
    Strap On for Intersecting Beams—A cutout fits uprights with intersecting beams. These guards also fit standard uprights without beams. Flip them to accommodate different beam locations.

    Shown Installed with (4) Extension Kits

    Shield columns with irregular dimensions, non-standard shapes, and attached pipe or conduit that standard guards can’t fit. These modular guards have four interlocking sides that wrap around the column and provide 4" of adjustment in width or depth to fit a wide range of column sizes. They flex and rebound on impact to absorb energy and minimize damage to both the column and vehicle during a collision.
    Add extension kits for larger columns. Kits include two pieces, each adding 10" to the width or depth. Use multiple kits to fit any column size in your facility.

    Accessories for Column Guards

    Foam Column Guards

    Like gym mats, these guards have a foam core that compresses to soften minor bumps and scrapes. They’re slimmer than plastic guards, so they fit into tight aisles and other narrow spaces. However, they don’t offer as much protection from direct forklift hits as plastic and steel guards. Their bright yellow color makes them easy to spot. Secure them in place with a hook and loop strip along the side.

    Two Guards

    Shown Installed

    Protect exposed I-beams near walls or in tight spaces. These guards cover a single flange, so you can use them in areas where wraparound guards won’t fit. Made from hard, durable plastic, they deflect impacts from forklifts and pallet jacks. Their bright yellow color makes them easy to spot, so you can avoid accidents. Snap their molded groove onto a flange and they’ll stay put—no straps or fasteners needed. Stack them for extra coverage.

    Steel Column Guards

    Create a rigid barrier around load-bearing columns and other critical structures. These guards mount to the floor, so the force of a collision won’t be transferred to your column. Made from steel, they’re strong enough to stop a moving forklift. However, they don’t flex on impact like plastic or foam guards, so they may damage your vehicle. Their bright color helps drivers spot them before they get too close.
    Mount these guards to the floor with wedge anchors or other concrete anchors.

    Bolt these durable steel guards anywhere along your uprights to shield them from impacts. They’re easier to install than floor-mount guards and more secure than snap- or strap-on guards.
    4 Side Mounting Holes—Often installed next to shelves, these guards have a V-shaped face that deflects forks and pallet edges away from uprights as you load in or out. Secure them to the sides of your upright with the included fasteners.
    2 Front Mounting Holes—Slide the included drop-in T-bolts into the rack’s existing slots and tighten from the front for quick installation. These guards also have a bullnose to help deflect impacts. A mounting hole allows for optional floor anchoring.

    Keep warehouse traffic from damaging the ends of your pallet racks. Made from rigid steel, these guards wrap around uprights and form a continuous barrier between them. They mount to the floor rather than the uprights, so the force of a collision won’t transfer to the rack. Their bright yellow color makes them easy to spot.

    Light Pole Guards

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Light Pole Guards.
    Protect light poles and exposed concrete bases from vehicle impact while giving bases a uniform look. Made of polypropylene, these guards resist solvents, degreasers, moisture, and UV fading, so you can use them outside for years. A foam liner helps them stay seated against chipped or worn concrete and absorb minor vehicle contact. Their bright yellow color makes them easy to spot in busy areas.
    These guards include everything you need for installation—no tools required. Stack the two-piece rings around the base and snap them together. They lock with a tamper-resistant latch. Add or remove rings to match the height of your base, then finish with a snap-on cap. Caps can be cut to fit round or square poles of any size.
