Pallet Rack Column Protector Options
Pallet rack column protection options are available for any distribution center or warehouse installation. Because no two pallet rack systems are the same, UNARCO offers a wide array of designs for add-on rack protection. Column protectors are available in structural steel angle, formed steel and even curved straddle protectors that can be added at any point in the life of the rack.
Uprights that do not have a side punching pattern can use the bolt-behind option, floor anchored protector or front bolt on straddle protector. For pallet rack uprights with side punching, there are structural angle options and easy cost-effective Apex designs to wrap around the rack column for protection. Special hardware that is flush with the protector can also be added to help the keep sharp nuts and bolts out of the bay and stop product damage from column protector attachment.
UNARCO manufactures many types of column protectors in all different heights to help protect against forklift damage. The most common size of 12″ high is just one of many options because every warehouse has a different level of abuse. The additional cost of a column protector will pay for itself many times over during the life of a warehouse or distribution center.
Pallet rack column protectors guard against dents and can help defend against an upright collapse. Rack protection is available for seismic and non-seismic rack uprights to protect uprights of any size or punching style including larger 4×3 rack columns and T-Bolt, Interchangeable, or structural pallet rack.
End of Aisle Guards
Protect the ends of each aisle from forklift damage and impact with structural steel End of Aisle Guards that can either anchor to the slab or bolt onto the pallet rack. UNARCO has many options for your warehouse and can protect uprights to any height needed.
Keep your pallet rack investment protected with durable steel options to help improve warehouse safety by preventing accidental forklift damage to the racking.
System Highlights:
Column Protectors and End of Aisle Guards protect your warehouse investment from forklift traffic.
Anchored column protection surrounds upright post
Bolted column protectors can bolt to the side of the upright or behind the column
Angled face deflects impact
Straddle protection is available welded at the factory or as a bolted-on option in the field
Gain additional protection with sloped leg uprights or setback cantilever leg frames
The benefits of column protectors and end of aisle guards are many and more than pay for themselves with years of use. Forklift traffic is a warehouse hazard and no pallet rack is safe from accidental impact. For extreme warehouse situations, use a setback cantilever leg frame (shown at right) or a sloped-leg option to completely remove the front leg from lower level impact. These uprights are engineered to help avoid column damage.
