Maintenance free column protector
February 1st 2007 The Addgards Column Protector will be launched at the IMHX show in Birmingham 2007 on stand 20B45. The Addgards Column Protector is a new way of preventing expensive column damage in warehouses and factories. As most people in the materials handling industry will know, repairs to forklifts and building structures caused by collisions is a common and serious problem in warehouses throughout the UK. Until now the only way to avoid expensive forklift repairs and structural repairs has been to use steel protectors fixed to the ground. Very often these steel protectors have to be replaced once a crash occurs, with high costs and labour time involved. Offering a cost effective alternative, the Addgards Column Protector is tough, highly visible and maintenance free. It is also easily installed (no tools or fixings required). On collision the Addgards Column Protector will release air to cushion the impact between the forklift and the column. The Column Protector can withstand heavy and frequent blows. It can also be sold in half sections, minimising cost when only one section needs to be replaced. The Addgards Column Protector is highly versatile – its innovative shape will fit column sizes from 6" to 12" (15cm to 30cm) and it will also fit rectangular columns with Addgards adaptable straps.
