Product Description
Column Protector IK IA571L - Ship from South Carolina
The Interlake Bolt-on post protectors serve as fork deflectors, prioritizing safety as their primary benefit. These protectors play a crucial role in preventing forklift-induced damage to your pallet rack, subsequently reducing the risk of a hazardous rack collapse. Beyond safety, utilizing these protectors leads to significant cost savings by eliminating the need to replace or repair damaged uprights.
For those with Interlake pallet racks aiming to shield the front column from forklift damage, the Bolt-on Post protector is highly recommended. Available in various lengths, it effectively deflects forks and mitigates potential damage, making it one of our most sought-after pallet rack protection options.
Opting for a Bolt-on steel column protector is particularly advantageous if you wish to avoid drilling additional holes in your concrete floor. Traditional floor-anchored post protectors typically require 2-4 anchors, as per factory recommendations. However, many installers and customers choose to use only 2 anchors, resulting in additional holes in the concrete floor.
The Interlake Bolt-on post protector features a V-shaped design, acting as an efficient deflector to redirect forks upon impact. It offers flexibility, allowing adjustment and secure bolting onto any part of your upright column. For optimal protection, we recommend mounting the 24″ Bolt-on post protector at the lowest part of your upright frame, as this area is most susceptible to forklift damage.
