How can I safeguard my work area from heavy traffic and potential collisions with columns and pipes?

Put Bumpers on Your Internal Structures!

Steel guards come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are used to protect columns in the plant from hazards such as forklift impacts or other motorized vehicles coming in contact with the column. These are essentially bumpers for your columns in the factory, warehouse or plant.

The steel guards are painted safety yellow and will absorb the impact from vehicles and other "hits" to the column. This safety product comes complete with mounting hardware to properly install the steel guards. If you have a high amount of forklift or other motorized traffic near columns, pipes and other critical internal structures, you should consider steel guards for these areas to reduce costly damage to your infrastructure.

One impact may not leave a lasting problem, but over time the stress and wear on these structures can add up to a serious problem.
