The Protect-it MAXI is designed to protect structural column from damage. Repairing damage to a structural column can be very expensive and costly. The revolutionary design can be fitted to an infinite combination of size and shape columns. The product acts like a spring absorbing energy from a forklift or vehicle impact. The produce is flexible enough to accommodate everyday knocks and bumps yet robust enough to withstand substantial forklift impacts. Protect-it MAXI’s are very cost effective, the initial cost is low, along with the easy installation taking minutes, labour costs are minimal. When impact has occurred, the replacement cost is also low. Impact damage is usually in small areas, Protect-it MAXI’s can be replaced individually whicis h far more cost effective.

How does Protect-it MAXI™ work?

Protect-it MAXI™ column protection combines clever design, Computer Aided Engineering and advanced thermoplastic materials to deliver a product that can absorb large impacts. Each product has an outer wall that is integrally moulded to a series of curved “spring like” energy absorbers at the front and sides to provide two levels of protection for columns.
Under light to moderate impacts the outer wall deforms to resist the impact before returning to its original shape.
Under higher impacts the outer wall deflects even more, contacting the energy absorbers and delivering increased impact absorption.
This staged response makes the product flexible enough to accommodate everyday knocks and bumps yet robust enough to withstand substantial forklift impacts.

Installation

Protect-it MAXI™ is supplied in a pack of 20 individual Protect-it MAXI’s and 8 connecting pins weighing only 8.2kg (18lbs). The pack size allows one person to create a column protector to suit your own specific needs in minutes, irrespective of the column size or shape, and without exceeding safe work practices for manual lifting. The larger the column, the more Protect-it MAXI boxes required.
