Column Sentry is the original column protector that minimizes the force of forklift damage to columns, surrounding supports, vehicles, and operators. Surrounds columns with a cushion of air by way of Sentry’s exclusive air chamber. On impact, the air chamber forces air out at a controlled rate allowing the column protector to absorb impact without splitting the sides. Available in 15 sizes and a variety of applications.
Column Sentry’s patented air-chamber makes it unique: Sentry’s air-vent system provides the best protection available for a column protection device. This unique system allows air to escape during impact, allowing the column protector to absorb impact without splitting the sides.
Now proven to be the best column damage prevention available: In a test conducted by a recognized international testing company, Column Sentry® proved to be significantly more resistant to impact than the leading imitation protectors. Testing was done on similar sized products and found that the genuine Column Sentry® protector was 83% more effective in resisting impact than the imitation column protector.
Column Sentry® FE is a special version of the Column Sentry product outfitted with a cutout designed to allow and protect items mounted on the column. This cutout is 10″ (25cm) wide by 8″ (20cm) deep, resulting in a height of 34″ at the cutout. FE stands for Fire Extinguisher, and this was the original purpose for this product.
Customers needed to mount a fire extinguisher on the column, but because of OSHA regulations, could not mount this above the protector.
