Forget concrete and go plastic
It takes an expert to know what products will and won't work in a particular scenario. Having spent so long in the barrier industry, we know what it is each customer needs to maximise safety. When a client comes to us requesting column and corner protection, we are able to recommend the best items to them.
Warehouse and industrial settings are dangerous for building corners. It is the same for rack systems and structural columns. Each day, they experience damages from vehicle and forklift hits. As time passes, this can cause structural harm. It can be very expensive to rectify or replace. There is good news here thankfully. You can choose our guards to protect these aspects of structures. It does not matter what shape or size they are; we have solutions that should work.
Regardless of the amount of attention you pay to stopping collisions, accidents will occur. Columns can suffer damages from any kind of little impact. There is also the potential for injuries and equipment damage. Because of this, columns must have protection.
A guard is what you need
What you need to do is use some column guards. These are protective items that fit on columns, posts, pipes, beams, and any other vertical surface. They function as a buffer between the surface and any item or vehicle that may strike it. They absorb the impacts, preventing damage.
One of the original ways of safeguarding structural columns was using concrete. They poured it around the column's base. This did not do much however. It was also much heavier and bulkier. These days, impact-absorbing moulded plastic designs are the favourite for plant and warehouse environments. This type of protector is usually polyethylene plastic. Its job is to absorb the impact's energy. Moreover, it preserves the column's shape and stops forklifts from directly hitting it.
