K3 Safety & Protection Products

Having a warehouse of our own, allows DAK to research, explore, and fully recognize that safety is the most important ingredient of a cost effective, productive warehouse.  Our K3 safety products and solutions are designed and offered with the confidence that our products will safeguard your employees, facility, and inventory.

DAK’s K3 premium line of warehouse safety and protection equipment includes: Row Guards | Column Guards | Pallet Stops | Large Equipment Guarding | And More

K3 In-Rack Sprinkler Guards

Fire suppression systems are mandated for safety virtually everywhere in North America and beyond.  When in-rack sprinkler systems are specified, water is released closer to the inventory and in turn minimizes inventory loss and equipment damage.  To ensure your in-rack sprinkler system remains intact and protected from daily impacts of forklift traffic and pallet damage, use DAK’s K3 heavy duty in-rack sprinkler head guards.

DAK’s U.S patent pending K3 In-rack Sprinkler Guards attach directly to the beams instead of the sprinkler system piping, avoiding sprinkler system damage.  The K3 heavy duty design protects from impacts of up to 5000lbs protecting equipment and inventory from unnecessary water damage and compromise.

We designed these U.S patent pending sprinkler guards with 25 years of warehouse safety & fire suppression experience under our belt, and we are proud to say there is no other product on the market like them!

Sentry Protection Products

Always on Guard

Behind every business is a story on how it all began. At Sentry Protection Products, we have a story too. Here’s how it all got started. An Ohio building contractor noticed that many of his customers were asking him to repair or replace columns in their facilities that were damaged from forklift hits. He thought there should be a solution other than repair or replacement. Together with the owner of a plastic molding company, a prototype of a column protector was created. That protector was Column Sentry.

Sentry Protection Products formed to market the new product. Since 1988, thousands of Column Sentry products have been sold around the world. From the original product, the line of impact resistant products has grown to include Rack Sentry® and Rack Sentry® CONTOUR rack protectors; Column Sentry FIT and Concrete Wrap™ column protectors; Corner Sentry™ building corner protector; Park Sentry® line of products for parking applications’ and the Collision Sentry® Corner Pro, a collision warning system designed to prevent accidents at blind cormer intersections.

Our impact resistant and collision warning products are sold and distributed world wide and have been recognized for their innovation and quality by many industry organizations.

Located in Lakewood, outside of Cleveland, Ohio, Sentry continually works to introduce new ideas to the marketplace. Recognized for simple design, ease of use and value to users, Sentry products are manufactured in North America and Europe and are sold world wide.

Our customers recognize quality products, dependability of service and competitive pricing. Our Primary Goal is to satisfy our Dealers, earn their Trust, and become their "Vendor of Choice.”

Terry Sroka and Reva Bily founded West Point Rack, a Nebraska company that sells exclusively to material handling dealers. “West Point Rack is a smaller company with a highly dedicated staff.

Our primary goal is to support our dealers, satisfy their customers, earn trust and be the ‘Vendor of Choice’ for rack products and racking systems.”

Customer service is the core of what company President Reva Bily does and is the key to growth. “Customers want prices and delivery quickly. She tries to get back to a customer with a standard quote in 15 minutes” she said.

The company sells cantilever racks in light, intermediate, heavy and extra heavy duty configurations, structural pallet racks in galvanized or painted steel and portable stacking racks made to order.

Specialty products include bar cradle trucks, drum racks and handcarts. Also available are reel racks, vertical racks and U-Racks.

“The future looks very positive for West Point Rack,” Sroka said. “Our product base is expanding as is our market penetration. We will continue with the business model and plan that has taken us to this point and will continue to move us forward.”
