What types of column protectors are available?

There are various types of column protectors, including steel and plastic options. The choice of protector depends on factors like the level of protection required, the column’s size, and the specific application. 

How do I choose the right column protector for my facility?

Choosing the right column protectors for your facility is an important decision that can impact the safety of your employees and visitors, as well as the longevity of your building. Here are some key factors to consider:

1. Assess your facility’s needs

The first step in choosing the right column protector is to assess your facility’s needs. Consider the traffic flow in your facility and the types of vehicles and equipment that are present. Are there any areas with a higher risk of impact, such as loading docks or parking garages? The answers to these questions can help you determine the level of protection needed for your columns.

2. Choose the right material and size

Once you have assessed your facility’s needs, you can begin to narrow down the options for material and size. Steel protectors offer the highest level of protection, but may be overkill for lower-risk areas. Plastic protectors are a cost-effective option that still offers good protection, while foam protectors are ideal for low-impact areas.When choosing the size, make sure to measure the diameter and height of your columns to ensure a proper fit. Most column protectors are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different column types.

3. Installation considerations

Another important factor to consider is the installation process. Some protectors require professional installation, while others can be installed by your own staff. Make sure to read the installation instructions carefully and consider any additional equipment or tools that may be needed.
