Column Sentry IIRack AbuseAccidental lift truck impact damage is inevitable,but unique Column Sentry II reinforcing keepsit to an absolute minimum.IncreasesImpact Strengthby 240%!Ridg-U-Rak’s Column Sentry II reinforcing isa double-thick, double-strength box section thatprovides exceptional resistance to impact damageof frame columns.Column Sentry II reinforcing helps guard against rackfailure, collapse, and local buckling; and, at the sametime, it increases column load carrying strength.And that’s not all. Column Sentry II reinforcing iscompact, thereby, saving critical aisle space. Nomore space is required than our standard column,and it need be applied only in critical areas suchas floor to first beam level on front columns(aisle side).No other reinforcing method offers the protection,strength, and economy of Column Sentry II.Column Sentry II32C 3 x 2-1/412Column Sentry II33C 33 I43C 43 IColumn Sentry II reinforcing can beapplied cost-effectively where it’s neededmost – such as lower leg of front uprightcolumn. No need for heavy, inflexible,expensive structural components in areaswhere damage is unlikely to occur.
Resistance to ImpactTest of Unreinforced ColumnsGuillotine Impact Testing best simulatesthe impact of a lift-truck fork.Measuring Impact Resistance offers the most accurateassessment of how a column will respond when subjectedto “typical abuse” in warehousing environments. Other tests,such as Load Tests, only measure the ability of a columnas it relates to capacities.Adding Ridg-U-Rak’s Column Sentry IIreinforcing results in a compositecolumn section that increases columnstrength by as much as 240%; aswell as increasing torsional resistanceseveral hundred times. This resultsin an upright frame that is extremelyresilient, impact resistant, economicaland most importantly, providestremendous residual carryingcapacity after an impact occurs!Column Sentry IIColumn Sentry II providesmaximum protectionagainst lift truck impactdamage.Upright column strength comparisonafter equal impactLaboratory tests were conducted to determine the axialload carrying capability of different column sectionsafter an equal impact load was applied. After impact,each column section was placed in a testing machinewhere controlled compressive force was applied. Thedeflection was measured and recorded at increasingload increments and then plotted logically.Load (KIPS)Note: See the Poor Impact Performance of the Tube Columns.StructuralChannelC4 x 5.4Ridg-U-Rak withColumn Sentry IIH32 with CS IIStructuralChannelC3 x 4.1Roll-formedTube Column3 x 3 x 11 ga.4 x 2 x 11 ga.3 x 2 x 11 ga.Deflection (in.)Column Sentry II13
