Repeated Forklift Traffic
Tight aisles and constant pallet movement increase contact around racking, doors and protected routes.
The Operating Reality
Cold Storage Leaves Little Room For Reactive Repairs.
Every forklift route in a cold-storage facility runs alongside something that cannot afford to be damaged. Protection must support constant movement without creating another maintenance problem.
Critical Rack Infrastructure
A strike at floor level can put uprights, stored inventory and the surrounding operation at risk.
Freezer Doors And Openings
High-use transition points are exposed to vehicle contact, frame damage and restricted access.
Floors And Anchors
Rigid protection can pass impact force into fixings and concrete, creating a second repair problem.
Cold-Condition Engineering
Built To Perform Down To -22°F.
The A-SAFE cold storage range is purpose-engineered for sub-zero facilities. It is not simply a standard barrier placed inside a freezer. Its material and system behavior are developed for the conditions cold stores create.
-
Absorbs Impact Energy
Flexible components help manage vehicle force instead of sending it directly into the floor.
-
Returns Toward Shape
Engineered recovery helps the system remain useful after the repeated contact common in busy facilities.
-
Remains Non-Corrosive
Self-colored polymer does not rust or require repainting after routine contact.

The Performance Difference
Similar Shapes Do Not Mean Similar Performance.
Appearance says very little about what happens during an impact. Material behavior determines how force is managed, what happens to the floor and whether protection remains dependable.
Steel Barriers
- Transfer impact force into anchors and surrounding concrete
- Can bend and remain permanently deformed after contact
- Often require repair, replacement or repainting
Generic Polymer Barriers
- May imitate the shape without the same material engineering
- Cold performance can vary when temperature tolerance is not validated
- Flexing alone does not prove recovery or repeated-impact performance
A-SAFE Engineered Polymer
- Engineered for sub-zero use down to -22°F
- Absorbs and dissipates impact energy
- Designed to recover and perform through repeated operational contact
Tested Before Installation
Performance Is Proven Through More Than One Test.
A barrier’s first impact tells only part of the story. Long-term protection depends on how the material behaves through temperature changes, repeated contact and controlled impact conditions.
Temperature Validation
Material behavior is evaluated under the cold conditions the system is designed to face.
Repeated-Impact Testing
Testing examines how protection responds beyond one isolated collision.
Controlled Impact Testing
Defined test conditions show how the system absorbs, dissipates and recovers from force.
Material Performance Evaluation
Engineering considers the complete material response, not simply whether a barrier flexes.
Operational Value
Predictable Protection Supports Predictable Operations.
Engineered protection helps cold-storage facilities move away from repeated barrier repairs and toward a more consistent approach to protecting infrastructure and traffic areas.
- Fewer reactive barrier repair cycles
- Reduced force transferred into floors and anchors
- Non-corrosive protection without repainting
- A scalable approach across multiple facility risks
