RAMGuard provides 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, Ridg-U-Rak said its RAMGuard can absorb more energy during impact than other column protection devices offered today.

  • 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 the column
  • Endures many impacts with no loss of performance
  • Can outperform most plastic guards commonly used today

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

The new 5-inch RAMGuards are ideal for pallet rack storage with the bottom pallet position off the floor.

  • Protect racks from outrigger damage
  • Very narrow aisle applications
  • Lift trucks with outriggers
  • Rack with bottom pallet off the ground
