Product uses
Impact protection
Impact protection

Designed to withstand heavy impact from airport specific vehicles such as fully laden baggage tugs, where the forces at play in extreme-weight environments could cause considerable damage.

Impact diversion
Impact diversion

Rotating wear collars deflect angled-impact from extreme weight vehicles, helping to defend against repeat glancing blows that cause expensive on-going repair and maintenance costs.

Enhanced floor preservation
Enhanced floor preservation

Heavy duty self-undercutting anchors, working with the absorption system to give greatest resistance to pull-out forces and preserve expensive flooring.

Extreme force resistance
Extreme force resistance

The advanced engineering features in the Atlas range are specially designed to absorb forces that would buckle or break steel or lighter-weight polymer products.
