Forklift damage is the silent threat lurking in nearly every warehouse. As the core factor in about 90% of all rack failures, impacts lead to downtime, expensive repairs, and safety risks. Steel King’s Column Core offers a powerful, proprietary solution built to withstand the toughest industrial environments.
What Is Steel King’s Column Core?
Column Core is a unique C-shaped column reinforcement engineered exclusively for use with Steel King’s SK2000® boltless pallet racks. The benchmark pallet rack system in the storage market. It is an industrial rack reinforcement designed to dramatically increase the impact resistance of the most vulnerable part of your racking system: the front upright corners and sides.
Unmatched Impact Resistance
The SK2000 rack is already known for its durability, and being more impact resistant than standard open-back uprights. The addition of Column Core doubles that impact resistance, delivering a staggering level of protection:
Column Core makes the SK2000 rack a full 5 times more impact resistant at the front corners and sides where the upright is most vulnerable.
This specialized C-shaped steel reinforcement provides a robust barrier that translates directly into a safer, more reliable storage environment.
