Fit the task to the worker – not the worker to the task.
While automation has improved quality and productivity, many of the tasks that remain are manual and repetitive and can be detrimental to the human body. Ergonomic workstation solutions allow users to focus strength and energy on the tasks at hand while avoiding harmful effects.
A Focus on Ergonomics can Help:
Optimize lean processes
Control accuracy and quality
Ensure employee well-being
Our industrial workstations and lab tables meet the needs of a diversified and ever-changing workforce. Modular design and setups ensure that each operator works in neutral positions with easy access to products and supplies. More work is done faster with fewer ergonomic injuries. Contact our BOSTONtec team for custom solutions to optimize your performance.

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!

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.
