Ridg-U-Rak, Inc. Company Profile

Designed for maximum impact resistance

Designed for maximum impact resistance

Available in low profile 5-inch heights, RAMGuard rack column protectors can be used for columns with bottom pallet positions that are raised off of floors (such as those for food storage), along with outrigger applications.

Twelve inches in size, the protectors weigh 9 pounds and are comprised of energy absorbing rubber that has a “U-shaped” steel insert, along with force distributing rubber voids. Able to absorb considerable energy during impact, the RAMGuard dissipates more impact energy, along with more enhanced distributing impact forces, than other typically used guards.

According to frontal impact test data that has been released, the rack column protectors can decrease impact stress levels within a column by up to 72%.

RAMGuard provides superior rack column protection with its patented Rubber Armored Metal design. Molded of energy absorbing rubber with a “U-shaped” steel insert and force distributing rubber voids, RAMGuard absorbs significantly more energy during impact than most column protection devices offered today. 

Advantages:

  • Protects rack structures from frontal, angled and side impacts
  • Significantly lowers impact damage to pallet rack columns
  • Requires no hardware or straps to retain the guard on column.
  • Endures many impacts with no loss of performance
  • Significantly outperforms most plastic guards commonly used today

After nearly two years of development, testing and proto-type designs, the new patented RAMGuard delivers the greatest impact resistance available in aftermarket column guards. Through extensive testing and evaluation, a specific rubber compound was formulated to provide a balance between durability, density and impact absorption qualities. A “U-shaped” steel plate was selected to maximize impact protection from multiple angles. Finally, rubber voids were introduced to assist in the distribution of impact forces.

Available in 12-inch heights, RAMGuard snaps onto rolled or structural steel columns 3-inches wide and up to 3-inches deep.
