Rack and column protectors

Forklifts hit racking uprights and building columns every day. Protectors take the knock so the rack or the column doesn’t, and they cost far less than a collapsed bay.

Who sells them in Canada

  • Uline Canada (Toronto and Edmonton) sells rack, column and end-of-rack protectors from its catalogue.
  • Sure Guard sells rack, corner and column guards and height guards.
  • Proguard Pacific (Port Coquitlam, BC) designs and makes pipe protectors, barrier rails, EV-charger guards and other protective guards in Canada.

What to tell us

  • How many uprights or columns, and their size (upright face width, or column dimensions).
  • Which way traffic hits them: a single face, two sides, or an end of aisle.
  • Whether you can anchor into the slab (bolt-down protectors) or need a free-standing one.

For a loading dock or a building corner, a concrete-filled steel bollard is usually the stronger answer. See bollards for warehouses.
