Protecting structural integrity

Supporting columns are highly susceptible to damage from vehicle traffic. Repairs can be expensive and, in severe cases, may compromise the building’s structural integrity, leading to far-reaching consequences. Protecting exposed pipework, ductwork, and light columns is equally essential to prevent damage. Berry Systems offers a range of column protection units for different column sizes, designed to provide optimal protection.

Products:

Column Buffer Plus™ 

The Column Buffer Plus™ combines RB1™ 76×12 buffers with warehouse rail bends. Available in three sizes—500mm, 750mm, and 1000mm diameters—it has been tested for low-speed and glancing impacts, making it ideal for protecting structural columns.

Column Sentry™

Made from semi-flexible, stress-crack-resistant plastic, Column Sentry™ units absorb impact energy using an air cushion system. They fully protect columns from forklift trucks and vehicles, lowering the risk of damage and reducing replacement costs.

Heavy Duty CPU™

Designed for larger vehicles, the Heavy Duty CPU™ is perfect for industrial yards with HGVs. It offers enhanced protection against impacts, preventing damage to columns, stock, and machinery.

I-Beam Protector™

I-Beam Protectors™ use circular warehouse barriers to surround columns, offering 360-degree protection from vehicle impacts. They are custom-made to fit any column size while minimising space encroachment.

Monostrut Rail™

The Monostrut Rail™ is a light, economical spring steel system that provides protection against small pallet movers and passenger vehicles. It is galvanised, making it suitable for both interior and exterior use.

Fendering profiles

Berry Systems also offers rubber fendering profiles for low-level collision protection. These profiles help reduce maintenance and refurbishment costs by protecting ramps and walls from scrapes.

Rubber Column Protectors™

Rubber Column Protectors™ feature high-visibility yellow corners and shock-absorbing rubber to prevent column damage from impacts. They are custom-built to fit universal beam sizes.
