| Protect-it column-protection devices  Protect-it column-protection devices are a new innovation offering in racking protection. The Protect-it range of column protectors is designed to minimize the damage caused to pallet racking in the event of a forklift impact. Protect-it combines clever design, Computer Aided Engineering and advanced thermoplastic materials to deliver a product that can absorb large impacts and easily attaches to a column without additional fasteners. It consists of an outer wall that is integrally molded to a series of curved 'spring like' energy absorbers at the front and sides to provide two levels of protection for columns.Under light to moderate impacts the outer wall deforms to resist the impact then Protect-it returns to its original shape. Under higher impacts the outer wall deflects even more, contacting the energy absorbers and delivering increased impact absorption. This staged response makes the product flexible enough to accommodate everyday knocks and bumps yet robust enough to withstand substantial forklift impacts. Protect-it takes just seconds to install by hand. The design incorporates an ingenious spring clip that enables Protect-it to securely grip the column and automatically adjust its width to suit a wide range of column sizes. Features: - Securely grips the column with no separate fasteners. - Install as many or as few as required. - Effective in cold stores as low as -40șC. - Available in recognized safety colors. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
