Damotech introduces DAMO GUARD XPS: the first Rack Column protector with integrated quick-locking connectors. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, APRIL 13, 2026 - Damotech, one of North America's warehouse safety leader, is proud to unveil DAMO GUARD XPS, a steel rack column protector featuring an integrated quick-lock system that connects directly into existing upright punch holes. The system eliminates the need to drill into the rack column while providing robust impact protection. Forklift impacts do more than dent steel - they lead to recurring rack damage, costly operational downtime, and preventable repairs. DAMO GUARD XPS introduces a faster, smarter solution to safeguard rack columns in high-traffic environments. Engineered to Lock into Existing Rack Punch Holes DAMO GUARD XPS locks into existing rack punch holes using an integrated elastomeric insert with purpose-built connectors, eliminating the need to drill or bolt into the upright. The result is a rapid, beam-style connection that delivers frontal and lateral protection without altering the upright. The guard is anchored to the concrete slab with a screw-type anchor, redirecting impact forces into the floor slab while maintaining controlled upright protection. Key Features of DAMO GUARD XPS Include: * Locks into existing upright punch holes with 6 integrated connectors (no drilling or bolting into the upright is required). * Maintains a floor-anchored design that transfers impact energy into the slab. * Absorbs impact energy with an elastomeric insert between the guard and the upright. * Fits most common North American rack punching patterns with interchangeable inserts (teardrop, Interlake, Mecalux, and more) in 3", 3.25", and 4" spacings. * Constructed from 24" x 3/16" HSS structural steel. A front bullnose protects the anchor from forklift damage. * Durable baked powder-coat finish. Galvanized finish also available for enhanced corrosion resistance in cold storage and washdown environments. * Fast, simple installation. * Backed by Damotech's 10-year manufacturer's warranty. "Structural rack systems are engineered assemblies, and many organizations require engineering approval before modifications are made," said Eric Naaman, CEO of Damotech. "DAMO GUARD XPS locks directly into existing rack punching while transferring impact forces into the floor slab, delivering robust protection without drilling into the upright." Built for Demanding Environments The integrated elastomeric insert is made from materials suitable for freezer, cold storage, and washdown environments. Combined with a galvanized option, DAMO GUARD XPS offers long-term durability in moisture-prone or temperature-controlled facilities. Installation can be completed in minutes by in-house maintenance teams, material-handling partners, or Damotech's certified installers. Expanding Damotech's Proven Rack Column Protection Line While DAMO GUARD XPS introduces a new attachment approach, it builds on the proven performance of Damotech's flagship column protector: DAMO GUARD. The original DAMO GUARD remains available as a secure, bolted protection solution. Together, DAMO GUARD and DAMO GUARD XPS provide warehouse operators with two robust protection options - one traditional bolt-on solution and one featuring an integrated connection system - allowing facilities to choose the approach that best aligns with their operational preferences.

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.
