Forklifts are the leading cause of pallet rack damage in warehouses. Even a single impact can compromise an upright or collapse a rack section, leading to costly repairs and safety hazards. Column protectors and end of aisle protectors are designed to stop that from happening by shielding the most vulnerable points of your racking system.

At IMH, we stock bolt-on column protectors and heavy-duty end of aisle protectors in multiple sizes. With warehouses in Riverside, California and Delran, New Jersey, we provide fast access to high-quality rack protection equipment throughout both regions.

Column Protectors (24″ Bolt-On)

Our 24″ bolt-on column protectors are designed to cover the lower section of pallet rack uprights the area most frequently hit by forklifts. Made from heavy-duty steel and finished in high-visibility yellow, these protectors are a cost-effective way to reduce rack damage and improve safety.

  • Bolts directly to the upright for fast installation.
  • Protects against forklift forks and low-level impacts.
  • Compatible with most selective racking systems.

Column protectors are a simple upgrade that pays for itself by preventing expensive upright replacements.

End of Aisle Protectors

End of aisle protectors safeguard the racking at aisle entrances where turning forklifts most often make contact. Unlike column protectors, these units are anchored directly to the warehouse floor for maximum durability. They create a barrier around the entire aisle end, protecting both uprights in a back-to-back or single row.

  • Single 42″ Left & Right – Protects back-to-back racks at aisle ends.
  • Single 48″ Left & Right – Designed for deeper back-to-back rows.
  • Double 48″ – Covers a single row of racking that’s 42″ deep, with extra width to guard both sides.
  • Additional Options – Double units also available in 30″ and 60″ for smaller or extended rows.

With anchored installation and thicker steel construction, end of aisle protectors are one of the heaviest-duty safety products available for warehouses.
