WAREHOUSE COLUMN PROTECTORS

Protect the building where warehouse traffic gets close

Warehouse column protectors help shield structural building columns from forklift and vehicle impact. The right system depends on the column, surrounding clearance, traffic direction and the level of exposure. Two3 reviews the area, compares protection options and plans the installation around the rest of the operation.

What problem does it solve?

Protects exposed building columns from incidental impact, improves visibility in busy travel areas and helps reduce damage to surrounding infrastructure.

What we review

Column dimensions and material, traffic direction, equipment type, surrounding clearance, pedestrian activity, nearby utilities and the slab or anchoring conditions.

Protection options

Depending on the application, the plan may use a wraparound column guard, a floor-mounted steel protector, bollards, guard rail or a combination of systems.

Building columns are not rack uprights

This page focuses on structural building columns. Pallet-rack uprights, end frames and rack damage require a separate review based on the rack system and how it is being used.

What we review before selecting column protection

Column size and shape

Measure the actual profile so the protector fits without interfering with the structure or nearby equipment.

Impact exposure

Look at travel direction, turning points, lift equipment and the sides of the column most likely to be contacted.

Clearance and access

Keep required travel, pedestrian access, maintenance access and nearby work areas in the plan.

Slab and anchoring

Confirm that the selected floor-mounted system and anchors fit the application and site conditions.
