Permanent Barriers

Take a look at our range of impact barriers, parking posts and more, all designed to improve safety and security within your premises, as well as prevent accidents which could have costly consequences. Used in warehouses, factories, car parks and a whole host of other environments, we have safety barriers and bollards that are bound to resolve one or more of the issues you’re seeking a solution for in your workplace.

Where Can Vehicle Barriers Be Installed?

Determining the appropriate location for installing safety barriers depends on the specific protection needs. For those seeking warehouse barriers, the objective is often to prevent injuries and damages resulting from accidents involving vehicles and machinery.

In environments where forklifts are regularly operated, it is advisable to install impact barriers alongside racking, shelving, and other equipment, as well as at corners and around support pillars. This strategic placement ensures that distractions from forklift operators result in collisions with the protective barrier first, preventing extensive and costly damage. Achieving the same protective outcome can also be accomplished using safety bollards, which are recommended for loading bays where lorries are reversing.

How Can I Use Safety Barriers To Protect Pedestrians In My Workplace?

In industrial and warehousing settings, the shared space between vehicles and pedestrians increases the risk of accidents. To address this, implementing designated safe walking routes is essential. While floor marking tapes offer a simple and effective solution, they may not entirely prevent individuals from taking shortcuts. Installing multiple safety barriers serves as an effective strategy to separate pedestrian and vehicle areas. This not only discourages deviations from designated routes but also protects pedestrians in the event of an accident.

How Should Car Park Barriers Be Installed?

For optimal installation, all our safety barriers are recommended for solid surfaces such as concrete and tarmac. In car park and garage forecourt environments, these barriers and bollards serve various purposes. Low-level hoop perimeter barriers, distinguished by a bright yellow colour that is hard to miss, are ideal for marking property boundaries and discouraging drivers from parking too far beyond designated points. Offering both guidance for preferred parking and resistance to low-speed impacts, these barriers ensure the preservation of surrounding structures.

How Do Parking Posts Work?

Whether reserving a personal parking space in an apartment or office car park or seeking a solution to temporarily control vehicle access, parking posts and barriers prove to be ideal. Supplied with keys, these posts can only be raised and lowered by authorised individuals. When in a standing position, the posts effectively prevent unauthorized access, assuming the gap around the post is not wide enough for a vehicle to pass through. Lowering the parking bollard allows for easy access, providing ample clearance for vehicles to drive over. The simplicity of this mechanism makes it a practical solution for various parking management needs.
