Vestil Heavy Duty Column Protectors

Vestil Heavy-Duty Column Protectors for In-Plant Structural Protection

Structural columns are among the most vulnerable and expensive components in a warehouse or manufacturing facility. A single impact from a forklift or pallet jack can compromise a column, leading to costly repairs, safety risks, and potential downtime. Column protectors act as a first line of defense, absorbing impact before it reaches the building structure.

These heavy-duty steel guards use a two-piece design that wraps around existing columns without requiring structural modification. Surface mounting allows for straightforward installation, and the rugged construction is built to withstand repeated impacts in high-traffic aisles and staging areas.

Protecting columns helps facilities avoid the disruption and expense of structural repairs, keeps aisles and traffic lanes safer for operators, and supports a more predictable maintenance schedule by preventing recurring damage to the same vulnerable points.

Models and Specifications:

♦ CGP-24, 29-5/8"W x 35-5/8"L x 23-3/4"H overall. Inside dimensions 20-5/8" x 20-5/8".

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Height: choose 23-3/4" for lower-profile impact protection, 35-3/4" for mid-height coverage, or 47-3/4" for maximum column protection.
♦ Column fit: confirm your column dimensions fall within the 20-5/8" x 20-5/8" inside clearance before ordering.
♦ Placement: install on columns located along forklift travel lanes, aisle intersections, and staging areas.

Where Commonly Used:

♦ Warehouse Aisles: column protectors shield structural supports from forklift and pallet jack impact.
♦ Manufacturing Plants: guards protect columns near production traffic lanes.
♦ Distribution Centers: protected columns reduce structural repair costs in high-traffic zones.
♦ Staging Areas: column protectors prevent recurring damage at frequent impact points.
