Rubber Corner Guards for Warehouses and Car Parks
Corner guards take the hit that would otherwise go into a building column, a wall reveal, racking legs or a doorway. Calx Group supplies rubber corner guards in Melbourne for warehouses, distribution centres, factories, loading docks and multi level car parks, where forklifts, pallet jacks and vehicles constantly clip the same corners.
Why rubber
- Absorbs and spreads impact energy instead of transferring it into the structure
- Will not chip or shatter like concrete render or ceramic edge trim
- Resists oil, moisture and temperature swings, so it suits wash down and cold store areas
- High visibility black and yellow banding marks the hazard as well as protecting it
- Fast to retrofit with adhesive and mechanical fixings, with no structural work
Where to fit corner protection
The usual locations are building columns in car parks, wall corners at aisle intersections, roller door reveals, racking uprights at the end of a run, and any corner on a forklift route. If you are unsure where to start, walk the site and look for scuff marks and exposed reinforcement, because the damage history shows you the traffic pattern.
Build the rest of the impact protection package
Corner guards handle glancing blows. Where a vehicle could strike the structure square on, add surface mount bollards that bolt to the slab or core drilled in-ground bollards for maximum resistance. Protect services with downpipe protectors, improve sight lines with convex mirrors, slow traffic with speed humps and control parked vehicles with car park wheel stops. Everything is grouped under car park and warehouse safety products.
Frequently asked questions
How are corner guards fixed? Mechanically fixed with anchors, usually with an adhesive bed for full contact. Anchors are available from our fixings range.
Will they stop forklift damage completely? They absorb typical low speed contact. For repeated heavy strikes, combine a guard with a bollard set clear of the corner.
Can you supply for a whole warehouse? Yes. Send a mark up of your columns and corners to 1300 846 039 or through our enquiry form for project pricing.
