  ColumnStopper solid rubber wrap-around protection reduces the risk of impact damage by fast moving warehouse traffic. The heavy duty rubber conveyor belting is cut to size to suit your site. When diameter has been established, the length of rubber protector is machine cut to size.

A heavy-duty metal split connector is mechanically fitted at our factory before shipping. Installation is straightforward, the ColumnStopper is wrapped around the column, the metal connector lined up and the locking pin hammered securely into place.

Now the ColumnStopper is in position, it can be filled with aggregate. There is a choice; low cost washed pea sized gravel or rubber crumb particles, manufactured by shredding black rubber sheeting.

ColumnStopper gives maximum protection to the steelwork that forms the structural frame of most modern warehouse buildings. Modern warehousing is a high density workplace environment with storage space at a premium.

The standard height for ColumnStopper protection is 1500mm and we offer a machine cut-to-size service. For details and more information please give us a call. Buffer is firmly bolted in place, concealing the metal assembly bolts, reducing the risk of accidental damage.

CN1 solid corner buffer can also be used to wrap around and protect steel columns, 40mm thick with a 100mm wrap around. CN1 buffer has concleaded fixings and is yellow and black to correct hazard warning colours.

Cut to size to suit you site requirements.

  GHB Spring Steel uprights will mount Steel Crash Barrier sections in accordance with BS6399 to take low speed impact. The shock loads imposed by vehicle impact can be significantly reduced, stopping accidental damage, especially in relation to fixing anchors and the concrete decks.

Simply bolted to the concrete deck, the GHB Spring Steel uprights give the Crash Barrier that important degree of flexibility that will help protect your property. The Crash Barrier system is normally mounted to a concrete foundation at least 25 N/mm2 which should provide for a maximum pull-out tension load of 60 KN.
