WPW Launches Versatile New Column Guard Design Built on 30 Years of Expertise

For more than three decades, WPW has been at the forefront of manufacturing and supplying column guards — protecting buildings, structures, and equipment across a wide range of industries. With over 30 years of experience in the field, the company has developed a deep understanding of what customers need when it comes to effective and reliable protection solutions.

Setting the Standard in a Non-Standard Market

Unlike many other safety products, there are no standardised column guards on the market. Every site and installation can present different challenges — from varying column sizes and shapes to differing impact risks and layout constraints. Over the years, WPW has designed and manufactured bespoke column guards for numerous companies, each tailored to meet specific requirements.

Drawing on this extensive experience, WPW has now developed a new multi-purpose column guard that fits a wide variety of applications. Designed with flexibility, strength, and ease of installation in mind, this innovative guard offers a practical solution for businesses looking for robust protection without the need for costly custom designs every time.

A Design Informed by Experience

The new WPW column guard combines all the best features from the many custom models the company has produced over the years. It’s engineered to deliver excellent performance in busy environments such as warehouses, distribution centres, factories, and car parks — wherever support structures and walls are vulnerable to accidental impacts from vehicles or machinery.

Designed for straightforward installation, WPW’s new guard is built to last. Its modular design means it can adapt to multiple column sizes and shapes, providing versatility without compromising on protection.

Proven Popular with Customers

Since introducing the new design, customer response has been overwhelmingly positive. Many clients have praised its versatility, durability, and value for money, noting that it provides a practical alternative to fully bespoke systems. The multi-purpose guard has already been adopted by several major companies, confirming its effectiveness and appeal across a broad range of industries.PS2376 "Corner" floor mounted column guards are 450mm high with a depth of 200mm

A WPW spokesperson commented:

“After more than 30 years of manufacturing column guards, we understand the challenges our customers face. Our new design takes all that knowledge and turns it into one reliable, adaptable solution that works for almost any site.”

Commitment to Quality and Innovation

This latest development highlights WPW’s ongoing commitment to innovation and continuous improvement. By combining decades of manufacturing experience with forward-thinking design, WPW continues to provide products that make workplaces safer, more efficient, and better protected.

With its new multi-purpose column guard, WPW once again demonstrates why it remains a trusted name in industrial safety and protection solutions.
