Eagle Gasket and Packing 173872 Bumper Post Sleeve Yellow

Product Description

The EAGLE GASKET AND PACKING 173872 is a high-visibility yellow bumper post sleeve designed to protect structural steel posts and bollards from vehicle impact and incidental contact. Measuring 8 inches in diameter and 72 inches in length, this sleeve fits over standard bumper posts to provide a visible warning barrier and surface protection in high-traffic areas. At 15 pounds, it is sturdy enough for demanding environments while remaining manageable for a single installer. Facility maintenance professionals, safety coordinators, and industrial contractors install this type of guard in warehouses, parking structures, loading docks, and manufacturing floors.

This post sleeve is suited for both indoor and outdoor applications where post and bollard protection is required. Typical installations include warehouse aisles, dock doors, garage entrances, and column guard applications where vehicle or equipment traffic poses a collision risk. The bright yellow finish improves visibility in low-light or high-congestion work zones, making it a practical choice for facilities following OSHA-recommended safety color guidelines.

Key Features

• 8-inch diameter opening sized to fit standard bumper posts and bollards
• 72-inch length provides full-height post coverage in most facility applications
• Bright yellow color enhances visibility in warehouses, loading docks, and parking areas
• Durable sleeve construction absorbs and deflects incidental impact to protect underlying post
• Sold individually, allowing targeted replacement or phased installation

Compatibility

Designed as a slip-over replacement or new-installation sleeve for standard 8-inch diameter bumper posts and bollards commonly used in industrial and commercial facility applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by facility maintenance staff or contractors and requires no special tools beyond basic measuring equipment. Ensure the existing post is structurally sound and free of sharp protrusions before sliding the sleeve into position. No power lockout is required, but the work area should be blocked off to prevent vehicle traffic during installation. Follow applicable OSHA facility safety guidelines for color coding and guard placement.
