The DAMO GUARD XPS rack column protector from Damotech can provide heavy‑duty front‑column protection that lowers impact stress and keeps warehouse racks in service.

This guard installs directly into existing rack column punch holes using a built-in elastomeric insert with integrated patent-pending quick-locking connectors.

DAMO GUARD XPS is also securely anchored to the floor using a single front screw-type anchor to safely transfer impact energy into the slab, ensuring reliable protection in high-traffic environments.

Different inserts are available for the most common punch pattern styles, such as teardrop, Interlake, Mecalux, Frazier, Etalex, BONI, Redirack, and North American Steel in 3, 3.25, and 4 inch spacings.

Product features

  • Clips into existing column punch holes using six integrated connectors. Connector insert sits between the guard and the column
  • Elastomeric insert material suitable for freezer, cold storage, and washdown environments
  • Fabricated from 3/16-inch structural steel with a bullnose and a 5/8-inch Hilti screw‑type anchor.
  • Up to six times less stress on the front and nine times on the sides compared to unprotected racks.
  • 24, 36, or 48-inch sizes
  • Installs in under 15 minutes
  • Backed by a 10-year warranty

Over 85% of rack damage happens in the bottom 24 inches. DAMO GUARD protects that high-risk zone with a durable, low-cost steel guard - avoiding costly upright replacements and downtime.
