Eagle 17248 Column Protector 24in Square Polyethylene Yellow

Product Description

The EAGLE 17248 is a square column protector made from high-density polyethylene, designed to shield structural columns from forklift impacts, material handling equipment, and other warehouse traffic. Measuring 24 inches wide, 24 inches deep, and 24 inches tall, this protector fits square columns up to 8 inches in size. The bright yellow color provides high-visibility warning for operators. Installation requires no special tools and is handled by facilities maintenance staff or safety personnel responsible for warehouse and industrial floor safety programs.

This column protector is suited for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and parking structures where columns are exposed to vehicle or equipment traffic. It wraps square structural columns and absorbs low-speed impact energy, reducing damage to both the column and the striking equipment. The polyethylene construction resists moisture, chemicals, and UV degradation, making it appropriate for both indoor and covered outdoor applications.

Installation Notes

Column protectors of this type are typically installed by facilities maintenance or safety personnel without specialized trade licensing. Ensure the column surface is clean and free of sharp protrusions before fitting the protector. No power tools or fasteners are generally required for slip-on installation, though some facilities anchor protectors to the floor for added stability in high-traffic zones. Follow applicable facility safety standards and local building codes when placing impact protection in vehicle travel paths.
