Building columns are critical to structural integrity. Their repair or replacement is extremely costly and disruptive.
DAMO SHIELD surrounds the column but doesn’t rely on it for strength. Impacts are absorbed and transferred to the floor, not the building column. Anchors sit inside the guard’s outer ring to keep them protected and minimize the footprint.
Use a single half‑moon to shield wall‑run utilities. Add steel extensions (6″, 8″, 10″, 12″, or custom) to span wider faces or protect adjacent equipment.
Add the Fork Blocker option for the 36" DAMO SHIELD to prevent forklift blades from reaching the column above the standard 8″ circular DEFLEX plate.
DAMO SHIELD is also available in an 8" height low-profile option. This version offers a circular column protector that safeguards building columns at floor level from forklift blade and outrigger impacts and protects column anchors. A cost-effective solution when protection is only required at floor level.
Use DAMO SHIELD in warehouses and DCs, indoor parking garages, and manufacturing facilities. Specify galvanization for freezers, outdoor use, or when strict sanitation is required.
Plastic or polymer wrap guards rely on the column for structure and can still transmit impact forces to it. DAMO SHIELD is built from heavy-duty structural steel and is structurally independent and floor‑anchored, making it a much more robust option.
DAMO SHIELD is offered in two configurations: a standard 36″ guard for full-height protection and an 8″ low-profile option for floor-level protection.
Your internal maintenance crew or a chosen external provider, such as your dealer, can easily install Damotech’s rack protection products. Although certification is not required, many companies prefer Damotech’s Orange Pros team for their installations due to the significant advantages:
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. Once galvanised, our column protector remains rust free.

DAMO SHIELD is available in 36" and 8" high, and 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 are available in 6", 8", 10", and 12" sizes. 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
