Protect Your Facility
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.
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.
Accessibility
Certain assets – such as fire safety equipment – must be easily accessible. Safety bollards offer robust protection from vehicles, while also providing unhindered access.

Making the Safest Workplaces for Your People
Choosing the right barrier
Vehicle weight and speed, impact height, and angle of impact are just some of the factors to consider when choosing guardrails that are fit for purpose.
Using gates to improve pedestrian safety
Self-closing swing gates encourage people to stop and look for traffic or other hazards before stepping beyond the safety of walkways.
Planning and protecting walkways
Walkways should follow desire lines as closely as possible to discourage pedestrians from taking shortcuts. Safety barriers should be installed to define walkway boundaries and protect against straying vehicles.
PAS 13: your guide to pedestrian safety
PAS 13 is an independent global benchmark for the installation and testing of workplace guardrails. It was produced by the British Standards Institution in partnership with leading international companies including Nestlé, Mars, and DHL. Learn more about PAS 13 pedestrian safety best practice.
Why Consider Polymer 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.
