How to find the right column protection

To prevent collision accidents at loading bays, in underground car parks or in warehouses with forklift traffic, key structural features should be fitted with specialist impact protection. With the right column protection, you can safeguard columns, beams, masts, pillars and vehicles from damage and costly repairs.

Our column protection has many additional benefits:

  • Resilient column guards ensure efficient shock absorption, preventing injuries and damage to vehicles.
  • Dimensionally stable, elastic polyethylene prevents stress cracks and returns to its original shape after impact.
  • Weather and temperature-resistant, it can be used indoors and outdoors as well as in cold storage rooms (down to -40°C).
  • Our warehouse column protection is easy to install and can be adapted to the shape and diameter of the column, depending on the model.
  • The high-visibility yellow colour ensures good visibility in all weather and lighting conditions.

1. Column protection guards: quick-fit column impact protection

Column protection guards consist of two plastic half-shells that you can quickly and easily attach to load-bearing pillars, steel columns and poles using Velcro or rod clasps. Tools or fasteners are not required for the installation. This means that columns in different operational areas can be fitted with protection in just a few simple steps.

The resilient, elastic polyethylene (PE) material provides optimum impact absorption, reliably absorbing up to 2,200 joules (at a 90° impact angle) and minimising damage to columns and vehicles. Thanks to its dimensional stability, this pillar protection automatically returns to its original state after a collision. Depending on the model, our column protection guards can also be UV, chemical, weather and temperature resistant.

The benefits of column protection guards at a glance:

  • Simple, too-free installation
  • Ultra impact-resistant and resilient PE material
  • Low weight
  • Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
  • Durable and maintenance-free
  • Good visibility
  • Available in various sizes

2. Column protection accessories

Many column protection systems can be enhanced with additional accessories such as extension elements and tension belts. Extension elements, made from flexible polyethylene, can be attached to a column or pillar guard to increase coverage, helping to absorb and minimise any impact resulting from a collision.

Tension belts can be used to secure all elements of a column impact protector together, including extension elements. They are compatible with a variety of impact protection elements, including differently sized warehouse pole protectors and parking pillar guards.
