Damotech expands warehouse protection line with DAMO BOLLARD and new low-profile DAMO SHIELD. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, APRIL 13, 2026 - Damotech, one of North America's leading rack safety and warehouse protection specialist, is introducing two new heavy-duty guarding solutions: DAMO BOLLARD and DAMO SHIELD (Low Profile). Designed for high-traffic warehouses and industrial environments, both products are structurally independent from the protected structure and mechanically anchored to the floor to minimize impact damage. The launch comes as warehouses across North America face rising forklift traffic, tighter layouts, and increasing pressure to protect critical infrastructure. Introducing DAMO BOLLARD: Heavy-Duty High-Traffic Protection DAMO BOLLARD is a steel bollard designed to protect critical infrastructure, equipment, and people from forklift and vehicle impacts. Unlike lightweight or plastic alternatives, DAMO BOLLARD is manufactured from high-strength HSS structural steel and precision-welded to an oversized 10" x 10" baseplate for enhanced stability and impact resistance. A high-strength polyethylene cap seals the top of the bollard, preventing debris, dust, and moisture from entering the steel tube while maintaining a clean, finished appearance. It is built for demanding environments, including warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, retail facilities, parking garages, airports, and food processing facilities. Typical applications include safeguarding warehouse equipment, dock doors, rack aisles, building columns, storefronts, pedestrian walkways, electrical panels, loading areas, and high-traffic vehicle zones. Key DAMO BOLLARD Features Include: * 41" tall steel post (custom heights available) * 6" x 6" HSS structural steel column with 1/4" wall thickness * Installs quickly using four heavy-duty Hilti screw-type anchors * Structurally independent, floor-anchored design * Backed by Damotech's 10-year manufacturer's warranty Because DAMO BOLLARD is mechanically anchored rather than embedded in concrete, it can be removed for maintenance access or repairs, then reinstalled as facility layouts evolve while still providing stable, long-term protection during daily operations. "Forklift and vehicle impacts remain one of the most common and costly risks in high-traffic warehouse environments," said Eric Naaman, CEO of Damotech. "DAMO BOLLARD was developed to help organizations protect their people, infrastructure, and operations from avoidable damage - reducing downtime, repair costs, and safety exposure." Available in powder-coated safety orange, yellow, or galvanized for cold storage, washdown, and outdoor environments, DAMO BOLLARD delivers long-term durability in moisture-prone, high-humidity environments. Expanding Building Column Protection: DAMO SHIELD (Low Profile) Damotech is also unveiling a low-profile version of its flagship DAMO SHIELD building protector, an 8"-high circular column protector designed to safeguard building columns at floor level from forklift blade and outrigger impacts while also protecting column anchor bolts. This new configuration complements the existing 36"-high DAMO SHIELD, which has become a leading solution for high-impact building column protection in warehouses, distribution centers, parking structures, and manufacturing facilities. Key DAMO SHIELD (Low-Profile) Features Include: * Circular outer ring is built from 1/4" structural steel for high impact resistance. * Structurally independent and floor anchored with eight Hilti screw-type anchors. * Transfers impact energy to the slab - not the building column. * Available in standard 20" diameter or XL 30" diameter configurations. * Designed for flexible installation - offered in single half-moon sections to protect equipment near walls, or paired half-moon configurations to encircle building columns. Optional extension components are also available to accommodate rectangular or oversized columns. Extensions come in 6", 8", 10", 12", or custom sizes. * Installs in under 30 minutes. * Powder-coated finish; optional galvanization available for cold storage, outdoor, or washdown environments. * Backed by Damotech's 10-year manufacturer's warranty. While the 36" DAMO SHIELD provides full-height column guarding, the new 8" low-profile version is ideal where protection is required strictly at floor level. Together, the two configurations allow facility managers to tailor protection to specific impact zones without compromising structural integrity. Two New Protection Solutions for High-Traffic Environments Forklift traffic, tight aisle configurations, dock activity, and evolving layouts increase the likelihood of impact events. Damage to building columns or infrastructure can lead to expensive structural repairs, operational disruption, and safety hazards. Damotech's expanding protection line - including DAMO BOLLARD and DAMO SHIELD (Low Profile) - provides structurally independent, floor-anchored solutions designed to prevent damage before it happens.
