A-SAFE Launches Revolutionary New Barrier Range, Redefining Workplace Safety Standards
A-SAFE, the global leader in polymer safety solutions, has launched its revolutionary new A-SAFE Barrier Range. Building on over 40 years of innovation, this latest development sets a new benchmark in industrial safety, durability and operational efficiency.
In 2001, A-SAFE pioneered the world’s first polymer industrial safety barrier. Today, the company continues to lead the way with a barrier system that outperforms steel barriers in every aspect – from impact absorption to repeat performance and reduced maintenance costs.
James Smith, A-SAFE Co-CEO, says: "At A-SAFE, we believe that safety, efficiency, and performance are all equally important. This new range embodies our commitment to these principles, offering a comprehensive solution to real-world challenges in modern facilities."
The new A-SAFE Barrier range features an all-polymer design, removing the weaknesses of conventional impact barriers. The three-layered engineering – impact zone, shock absorption zone, and stability zone – reduces damage to industrial flooring often caused by steel baseplates, saving businesses money by reducing the amount of repairs needed across their facilities.
Post Engineering – The Performance Game Changer
At the core of the new A-SAFE Barrier Range is the advanced post engineering. Each post is designed and manufactured from the same pioneering polymer as the rails, ensuring that full system performance is achieved across the entire barrier. Unlike conventional barriers, where the post is often a weak point that compromises overall strength, the A-SAFE post delivers the same industry-leading impact absorption and repeat performance as the rail. This breakthrough in material science and engineering eliminates inconsistencies within the system and ensures that the barrier performs at the highest level – no matter where the impact occurs.
An all-polymer design also provides something no other safety barrier system can – full system performance. This full system performance means that unlike any other barrier system, there are no weak points. The A-SAFE Barrier has the same world-leading performance throughout the system, post and rail, whereas alternative systems offer peak performance at the rail.
The A-SAFE Barrier’s coupling system has also been entirely redeveloped. The new system vastly reduces the number of parts, making installation quicker and reducing downtime associated with installing safety solutions in a facility.
How the coupling system works:
- The rail flexes under impact, activating the post pin
- The post pin pushes the rail lock-in clip forward
- The shock absorber compresses, dispersing impact energy
Furthering their commitment to innovation, A-SAFE has also developed sensor technology that can be integrated into the new system. This edge technology provides insights into facilities, such as hot spot identification and more. The sensor technology ties in with A-SAFE’s new Barrier as a Service model, giving customers A-SAFE barriers as a service for a monthly fee rather than a lump sum when purchasing barriers. With this model, A-SAFE has removed the worry of replacement and maintenance, and future-proofs safety and efficiency for the ever-evolving industrial landscape. This new service provides businesses with the insights, hardware and peace of mind they need to focus on growth while A-SAFE takes care of efficiency and safety.
The A-SAFE Barrier Range includes:
Pedestrian Range – Safeguards walkways and promotes confident movement in shared spaces.
Traffic Range – Protects assets and infrastructure from vehicle collisions, and streamlines traffic management.
Bollard Range – Shields vulnerable areas with high-visibility impact protection.
From logistics hubs to manufacturing plants, the A-SAFE Barrier Range is engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern workplaces.
