Damo SHIELD

Damo Shield

The DAMO SHIELD protects warehouse building columns. It's the only solution on the market that does not touch the column or rely on it in case of an accident. It is made of two 1/4” structural steel half-moons with a minimal footprint. At 36" in height and anchored to the ground with eight heavy-duty anchors, it will stay put and is a great investment for warehouse protection. It can be customized in shape to protect other items like pipes or electric cables running next to the columns.

DAMO SHIELD OPTIONS

DamoShieldBlocker

Fork Blocker

As the name implies, the fork blocker blocks forks from impacting building columns above 8". This insert 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.
