HDPE Post Upright Rack Protector
A molded high-density-polyethylene guard that snaps onto the upright, for bays where a steel guard is more than the traffic warrants. The color runs through the plastic, so there is no paint to flake or chip, and a backside bolt tightens it to the column to stop it sliding. Stands 9″ tall to fit 3″×3″ posts in safety yellow.
