Equipment Repairs
Machinery, conveyors and controls may need specialist work or replacement parts.
The Cost Behind An Impact
When a forklift strikes equipment or infrastructure, the financial impact can continue long after the damaged part is repaired. To understand the return on better protection, account for everything the incident takes out of your operation.
Machinery, conveyors and controls may need specialist work or replacement parts.
An affected machine can interrupt the processes and schedules that depend on it.
Assessment, isolation and repair take skilled people away from planned work.
Damage around fixings can add concrete repairs and keep an area out of service longer.
Built Around Your Operation
The strongest return comes from addressing the places where an impact could affect people, equipment or the flow of materials through production.
Keep vehicle impacts away from machinery and controls whose repair could stop production.
Limit damage in storage areas that supply components and materials to the line.
Use physical segregation to define routes and support safe, efficient movement between work areas.
Account for the barrier, its anchors and the surrounding floor when planning for impact costs.
Talk through your highest-risk areas with an A-SAFE specialist and identify where better protection could reduce recurring costs.
Engineering Behind The Return
The ROI of impact protection depends on what happens after installation. A-SAFE polymer barriers are engineered to manage impact energy and reduce the repairs and upkeep that can add cost over time.
Controlled flex helps absorb energy and reduce force transferred to floor anchors.
Recovery within rated performance limits can reduce replacement work after vehicle contact.
Polymer components do not rust or need repainting, removing recurring maintenance tasks.
Select a tested system for the vehicle, impact conditions and clearance in each area.
“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.”
Customer Experience
For this Coca-Cola facility, savings on damaged parts, painting and maintenance more than offset the initial barrier investment. Those ongoing costs belong in any ROI comparison.
The Investment Decision
The purchase price is only one part of the ROI calculation. Compare what each option will cost to install, maintain, repair and replace, along with the production time that could be lost after an impact.
Initial installation, replacement components, repair labor, floor repairs and routine maintenance.
Restricted access, equipment downtime and disruption to the people and processes that depend on the affected area.
