Product Information
Full details
The Vigil Rubber Corner Guard is an essential safety solution for facility managers, warehouse operators, and car park administrators looking to minimize structural damage in high-traffic zones. Constructed from heavy-duty recycled rubber, it excels at absorbing and deflecting accidental impacts from vehicles or equipment, thereby extending the lifespan of your building corners. While its high-visibility design is ideal for safety, potential buyers should note that the 800mm length may require stacking multiple units to achieve full-height protection for larger vehicles or heavy machinery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Vigil Rubber Corner Guard is straightforward, though it requires a basic toolkit. Before beginning, ensure the corner surface is flat and free of debris. Use the six pre-drilled holes as a template to mark your drill points on the wall. For masonry or concrete, use appropriate wall anchors and heavy-duty screws to ensure the guard does not pull away under impact. Regarding care, the guard is low-maintenance; a simple pressure wash or wipe-down with water and mild detergent is sufficient to keep the reflective colors vivid and visible. Inspect the fixings periodically to ensure they remain tight, especially in areas with very high traffic frequency.
