Machinery and equipment protection
Prevent costly damage and downtime by protecting essential machinery, conveyors and equipment from vehicle impacts.
Protect your assets
Repairing or replacing high-value industrial machinery can be difficult and exceptionally expensive. Downtime and reduced capacity can make it difficult to meet customer demand.
Damage to utilities can lead to power outages and impacts to equipment such as sprinkler systems can ruin large volumes of stock. Operational disruption can reduce output and have massive implications for business loss.
Damaged vehicles reduce fleet operating capacity and repairs can be costly. Where vehicles are hired, damage from impacts will incur charges for repair or replacement.
Keeping your assets safe from damage
Impact zones
The impact zone of a guardrail is the part that connects with the vehicle during an impact. If a guardrail is too low, vehicles with a greater ground clearance may drive over it. Our safety experts tailor every solution to ensure it is suitable for the vehicles in use.
Impact resistance
Impact ratings allow you to assess the impact resistance of the guardrails you choose and ensure the level of protection is adequate for your facility. A-SAFE barriers are impact-rated to the PAS 13 standard and independently certified by test experts TÜV Nord for complete reassurance.
Accessibility
Certain assets – such as fire safety equipment – must be easily accessible. Safety bollards offer robust protection from vehicles, while also providing unhindered access. Discover how A-SAFE bollards can form part of your tailored safety solution.
PAS 13: your guide to asset protection
PAS 13 is an independent global benchmark for the installation and testing of workplace safety barriers. It was produced by the British Standards Institution in partnership with leading international companies including Nestlé, Mars, and DHL. Learn more about the PAS 13 code of practice.

Why choose polymer machinery protection?
Flexible industrial polymer and patented engineering absorbs and disperses impact forces to protect fixings and prevent floor damage.
Engineered with built-in memory to flex and fully recover from impacts, unique polymer design protects against costly barrier and vehicle damage.
Self-colored, non-corrosive and UV protected, advanced polymer barriers stay visible, do not rust and never need painting, saving you time and money.
Why Choose A-SAFE?
Tested and certified performance
A-SAFE products are tested to the rigorous standards of BSI PAS 13, the global code of practice for testing the impact resilience of workplace safety barriers. Furthermore, conformity to PAS 13 is independently inspected and certified by TUV Nord - one of the world’s most respected independent test houses.

"The initial cost of installing A-SAFE barriers has been more than offset by the savings we have made on the replacement of damaged parts and regular painting and maintenance. The barriers are effective in reducing damage to our forklift trucks, and the workforce feel confident that they are better protected."
