The EZ Guard PRO is a dual purpose repair and high impact outrigger protector. It provides ultimate impact protection for the most vulnerable frame section, the bottom 12″ of the front column. This is a high impact deflecting kit.

Laser focused, addresses the largest single catagory of column damage with the most effective solution. Does not require replacing undamaged factory bracing. Accommodate beam levels 20” or higher. It is not a wraparound post protector or plastic gimmick.

This engineered kit becomes part of the post and prevents twisting. It is available in protruding and non-protruding versions.

EZ Guard V-Nose

EZ Guard V-Nose

The EZ Guard V-Nose is a pallet rack guard that protects racks from outrigger damage. The standard 4″ high 3/8″ thick steel guard uses a 3/4″ internal anchor that ensures ultimate impact resistance.

The anchor fastens this guard to the floor rather than to the column. Thus transferring impact energy to the guard rather than the column. Designed to prevent column twisting with single anchored footplates.

The 3/8″ thick footplate can be set flush or below the guard sufficiently to accommodate various footplate dimensions. Highly customizable, the EZ Guard column protector may be designed to accept various column widths and setbacks.

It is not a flimsy wrap around boot, bolted angle or other gimmick. It is a heavy-duty steel column guard that will protect your pallet racks from costly future damage.
