Safety barrier and impact protection selection guide

Impact protection barriers ensure effective collision protection in everyday operations. They help to protect machinery and equipment, to protect sensitive work areas or to demarcate traffic routes. Various shapes and designs are available to meet a wide range of requirements.

Wall protection profiles are made of robust polyethylene (PE). They reliably protect walls against collisions, especially in areas with increased traffic - and thus against damage to the masonry or paintwork.

A row of several profiles enables flexible protection for walls of any length and height.

Railings are ideal for distinguishing individual work areas from traffic routes, therefore protecting plant and equipment from collisions. Railing systems can be customised to meet different operational requirements and are available in steel and plastic.

Free-standing pillars, columns and posts pose a constant threat to internal traffic. With impact protection systems for the attachment to columns, you not only protect the obstacles themselves, but also the vehicles and equipment with which you work. If a particularly high column protection is required, we recommend the use of multiple protection profiles that can be mounted on top of one another.

Where there are many vehicles and aids on the move, collision damage becomes more frequent and more likely. Shelves can overturn when they are hit by heavy equipment and should therefore be secured in their corner areas with collision protection. Suitable products are also available for the side protection of shelves.

These are self-adhesive or magnetically adhesive elements made of highly flexible polyurethane foam. These can be flexibly cut in length and are suitable for attachment to flat and smooth surfaces or edges. There they signal sources of danger and prevent impact injuries.

Often, for structural reasons alone, it is unavoidable that pipes or lines are laid openly near traffic routes or work areas. A damaged pipe can be expensive! You should therefore use pipe protection profiles or special steel brackets to protect pipes and lines from collision damage.

At critical points such as driveways or building corners, ram protection bollards are an effective aid for demarcating and securing traffic routes.

Passenger guidance systems consist of a modular system that can be assembled from posts or wall cassettes for attachment without contact with the ground. The posts or wall cassettes are connected with integrated self-rolling straps and effectively support the management of people both indoors and outdoors.

Barrier posts and chain stands offer flexibility and help to ensure safety in and around production sites. They consist of positioning posts, which are connected with red and white chains. Various mounting methods are available: for example with concrete-filled feet for mobile installation or as a permanent solution for pegging or setting in concrete.

Mobile fences are mainly used outdoors and are ideal for shutting off maintenance or construction sites. As a closed system, they offer even more effective protection against unauthorized access as chain or belt locks. Available in various designs and dimensions.

Areas of application for machines must be clearly delimited and the machines must be protected from damage. At the same time, authorized personnel must have access to the machines at all times. Lattice partition walls with integrated door elements enable complete area separation and still offer a good overview of the function of the machines.

You can also use floor markings to mark restricted areas or traffic routes, or to mark danger spots in floors with a warning. Important: Remember to replace or repair ground markings when worn.

Are your traffic routes sufficiently lit? Do you have the correct emergency lighting in place throughout your premises? Take a look at our extensive range of lighting here.

Signs and markings ensure more safety in your company. Protect against dangers by using prohibition and mandatory signs, warning signs and hazardous substance symbols to indicate dangerous areas.

Traffic intersections and junctions must be clearly arranged and visible. If this is not possible, traffic safety measures must be taken. For this purpose, we have various industrial traffic mirrors available.
