Eagle Gasket and Packing 1708 Column Protector 8 in Yellow

Product Description

The EAGLE GASKET AND PACKING 1708 is an 8-inch yellow column protector designed to shield structural columns and vertical supports from impact damage in industrial, commercial, and trade environments. Weighing 40 pounds, this heavy-duty guard absorbs and deflects low-speed vehicle and equipment strikes that would otherwise damage column bases, rack legs, and building supports. It is installed by facility maintenance crews, contractors, and safety personnel in warehouses, mechanical rooms, garages, and similar high-traffic areas where columns are at risk from forklifts, carts, and other moving equipment.

The 1708 column protector fits columns up to 8 inches in diameter and is suited for use in both new construction and retrofit applications. Its yellow coloring provides high-visibility contrast against floors and walls, aiding compliance with workplace safety marking practices in commercial and industrial facilities. Trade contractors and safety installers specify this type of protector in mechanical rooms, loading docks, parking structures, and plant floors where column damage is a documented risk.

• High-visibility yellow finish for safety marking and hazard identification
• Substantial 40-pound construction for durable impact resistance
