In A Perfect World...
Forklift trucks would simply bounce off racking systems with no harm done. In the real world, you know things are very different. That's why you need Protect-It™, an innovative rack column guard, made from advanced thermoplastic materials, which simply "clips" into place to prevent damage.

Features...

• low purchase, installation and replacement costs
• securely grips the column with no separate fasteners
• effective in cold environments, as low as - 40° C
• available in recognized safety colors
• available in wide range of column sizes and specifications

Protect-It™ column protection devices are a new innovation offering exceptional performance in racking protection. Rack systems are not designed to be struck by forklifts, and even low speed collisions can lead to structural damage. This damage is a major occupational health and safety issue, and is costly to repair.

Is Plastic Strong Enough?
Yes! Protect-It™ is made from super tough grade of corrosion and moisture resistant HDPE thermoplastic. This special material has a reputation throughout the world for impact strength in a wide range of extreme environments. Protect-It™ is also injection molded, enabling use of much tougher plastics than many competitors.

How Does It Work?
Protect-It™ combines clever design, Computer Aided Engineering, and advanced thermoplastic materials to deliver a product that can absorb large impacts and easily attach to a column without additional fasteners. Protect-It™ consists of an outer wall that is integrally molded to a series of curved spring-like energy absorbers at the front and sides to provide two levels of protection for columns.
Under light to moderate impacts, the outer wall deforms to resist the impact, and then Protect-It™ returns to its original shape.Under high impacts, the outer wall deflects even more, contacting the energy absorbers and delivering increased impact absorption. This staged response makes the product flexible enough to accommodate everyday knocks and bumps, yet robust enough to withstand substantial forklift impacts.

Is It Easy to Install?
Protect-It™ takes just seconds to install by hand. The design incorporates an ingenious spring clip design that enables Protect-It™ to securely grip the column and automatically adjust its width to suit a wide range of column sizes.
