Accidental collisions

There are consequences of equipment or vehicles colliding with structures in your warehouse. They go past serious injuries too. For example, it can result in interruptions to business and a loss of productivity. There can be massive repair bills too. For these reasons, you need to use column and corner guards in these environments. Using them, you have what it takes to safeguard your employees, machinery, and building.

The best thing to do here is install your protectors on any vertical parts of the structure that are vulnerable. There are many types of guard to help you do this. It's even possible to change the height to match potential risks.

Accidents can occur, even in a warehouse that emphasises constant training and strict control systems. There is often the pressure to meet deadlines. So, even the most experienced staff members can make misjudgements or become distracted. Even a glancing blow has the potential to damage a critical piece of equipment or the warehouse structure. This is why you need column and corner protection and other barriers.

Disruptions to business

One of the most important reasons to have corner guards is to prevent disruptions to productivity. A full-force collision has the potential to bring down a frame. Or, it will damage the pallets and stock. This endangers the driver and anyone else that's around. When there is major contact between a support structure and machinery, said structure can suffer clear damage.

As a precaution, you might need to temporarily shut everything down and send people home because of an accident. In the meantime, you will have to get an engineer to check everything, or have a construction crew do repairs. The cost of this can easily go past a day's work. If there is enough damage, you might need to keep everyone away for a few days to guarantee safety.

On the other hand, there may not be much structural damage, but the forklift or trolley can be out of commission. Repair or replacement costs can be hefty. Plus, it could slow your business down dramatically while you can't use the equipment.

It is much better here to ensure you have corner and column guards. They can make impacts much softer. This will help to preserve the structure and reduce the damage to equipment and stock.
