The DAMO SHIELD is the ultimate high-impact building column protector. It protects columns from impact by forklifts, fork trucks, or any other machinery or vehicle.
Conventional solutions made of plastic or polymer rely on the column for structure — unfortunately, they transfer the impact energy to the column and may still damage it during the process. In contrast, the DAMO SHIELD is completely independent of the column and transfers the impact energy to the ground. It prevents damage to your structural columns — it is the safest and strongest column protector available for your steel or concrete building columns!

The columns in a building are the backbone of its structural integrity. The job of a column is to keep the building from collapsing or shifting in a way that could cause damage to the overall structure. If damage to a structural column occurs, repairing it can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
The DAMO SHIELD is the only high-impact product of its kind on the market. It is made of two structural steel half-moons, which are bolted together. It has a minimal footprint as floor anchors are on the inside of the protective shield. At 36" in standard height and anchored to the ground with eight heavy-duty Hilti anchors, it will stay put, no matter what happens. It can even be customized in shape to protect other warehouse fixtures like pipes and drains, or electric cables running next to the columns.
The DAMO SHIELD is an excellent long-term investment to guard building columns in warehouses, distribution centers, indoor parking lots and garages, and manufacturing facilities. It is also the ideal solution for operators looking to protect a brand new storage or manufacturing facility. The DAMO SHIELD works in all environments: from dry storage to freezer or outdoor environments, as it can be galvanized to prevent rusting.
The DAMO SHIELD is very adaptable. It comes in two sizes to adapt to different column sizes. A single half-moon can be used to protect building infrastructures such as plumbing or electricals against a building wall. Extensions of almost any length can be added between the two half moons to adapt to rectangular columns or equipment.
As the name implies, the fork blocker blocks fork blades from impacting and damaging building columns above 8". This optional add-on product was designed to prevent the lift's forks from reaching through to the column while the DAMO SHIELD protects the column from all the other parts of the lift.
The standard height is 36".
Yes, the standard color is orange, but we can custom paint your DAMO SHIELD to almost any color for an additional cost. We can also galvanize the guard if installed in a freezer or outdoor environment, or where strict sanitation policies exist.

The DAMO SHIELD is available in two sizes:
Standard: Protects columns of up to 10" x 10" inches (when no extensions are used), and has an exterior footprint of 20 inches. It can protect columns of up to 21" x 10" when a 12" extension is used. This would give it a footprint of 32" by 20".
XL: Protects columns of up to 16" x 16" inches (when no extensions are used), and has an exterior diameter of 30 inches. It can protect columns of up to 27" x 18" when a 12" extension is used. This would give it a footprint of 42" by 30".
Extensions: Standard steel extensions come in 6", 8", 10", and 12" dimensions. It can also be custom-made to almost any size.
Customization: Although these are the most common sizes, the DAMO SHIELD can also be customized to take other shapes. A range of finishes (paint
