The DAMO SHIELD is the ultimate high-impact building column protector. It protects from damage due to impact with forklifts, fork trucks, or any other machinery or vehicle.
Conventional solutions made of cell foam, high-density polyethylene, or plastic are wrapped around the column - unfortunately, they transfer the impact to the structure. In contrast, the DAMO SHIELD remains completely independent from the column. 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 protect columns in warehouses, indoor parking lots and garages, and manufacturing facilities. It is also the ideal solution for operators looking to protect a brand new distribution center or manufacturing facility.
As the name implies, the fork blocker blocks fork blades from impacting 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.
Heavy-duty column protection
At 36" in standard height and anchored to the ground with 8 heavy-duty Hilti screw-type anchors, the DAMO SHIELD will stay put, no matter what you throw at it.
Structurally Independent
