Replacing a Damaged Building Column can cost well upwards of $100,000 and shut down your facility!

Facility Column Protection

Sylvester’s offers rebounding column protectors. 

These column protectors utilize four bollards into a complete barrier that protects critical columns from potential catastrophic failure.

Compared to plastic alternatives that directly wrap onto the column itself, this all-steel construction barrier stands away from the column, allowing for greater strength and durability, while eliminating any energy transfer or energy impact to the building structure.

How it works: During a collision, the energy of the impact is progressively absorbed by an elastomer in the base of the bollard. The posts tilt slightly with impact and then return upright, leaving the guard intact and ready to perform again. 

Sylvester’s column protection products are successfully used in Automotive & Truck Dealerships, Cold Storage & Refrigerated Warehouses, Parking Garages, Battery Charging Locations, General Distribution Warehousing, Loading Docks, Industrial & Commercial Environments, Logistic Sites, and for Traffic Control.​ 

High-Impact Building Column Protection

The DAMO SHIELD is the ultimate high-impact building column protector as the columns in a building are the backbone of its structural integrity keeping the building from collapsing. It protects columns from impact by forklifts, fork trucks, or any other machinery or vehicle.

Conventional column covers, column wrappers or pillar wraps made of plastic or polymer rely on the column for structure — unfortunately, they transfer the impact energy to the column and may still damage it during the process. In contrast, the DAMO SHIELD is completely independent of the column and transfers the impact energy to the ground or concrete slab. It prevents damage to your structural building columns and posts — it is the safest and strongest column protector available for your steel or concrete building columns!

Warehouse Safety Systems – Railing – Guard Rail

With our cast-iron elbow, tee, and cross-shaped tubular joints, we can easily configure custom guarding such as u-shaped brackets, safety railings, protection buffers, fences, and guardrail systems.

Our polycarbonate guardrail attaches to our bollards to create virtually unbreakable barriers. The flexible material can withstand an incredible 24,870 lbs. of force without permanent deflection. It returns to its original shape again and again, impact after impact. 

It can even be used to form curved barriers without bending machines. This safety rail eliminates maintenance painting and resists undesirable warping and denting. 

We offer a plethora of protective guarding products including bollards, column protectors, guardrails, handrails, and rack end protection. For more information or a facility consultation, call Sylvester’s today at 303-495-2299.
