Racking Protection and
Management has developed its
synthetic rubber upright protector to
offer a range of
budget inserts
made to fit
within a
standard steel
column guard.
The strength of the original RackDefender was through its design around the specific racking profile and, being made from synthetic rubber, the RackDefender was able to dissipate and absorb the various impact energies.
The effect of combining these strengthsis to produce a very strong product.
In extreme cases following heavy impact, the steel column guard cab be distorted but the expensive upright remains intact complete with rubber insert. Under these circumstances, the old steel guard can simply be removed and replaced on the original floor fixings - eliminating the need to repair or even re-drill the floor.
