ABSTRACT:
A post protector which is placed around a portion of a column to be protected from impact or shock loading. The post protector is fastened to the floor and non-destructively absorbs impacts from objects which would otherwise impact the column. The post protector comprises an elongated portion which is placed adjacent and around the column. A flange is also provided which extends from the elongated portion and is fastened to the floor via openings through the flange. Fasteners are inserted through the openings which anchor the post protector to the floor. The flange also includes an elastic membrane which allows the post protector to elastically move upon impact whereby the post protector non-destructively absorbs the impact force of an object.
