Permanent Barriers

Permanent Barriers

Designed to improve safety and security within your premises, our high-quality Permanent Barriers restrict access and prevent accidents. Impacts involving equipment or vehicles could have costly consequences, making barrier solutions essential for commercial sites and businesses. 

Used in warehouses, factories, car parks and other environments, we have safety barriers and bollards to suit every need. Available in various lengths and styles, our safety barrier systems control crowds, traffic, and general movement. 

Where Should I Install Vehicle Barriers?

Determining the appropriate location for installing safety barriers depends on the specific protection needs. For those seeking warehouse barriers, the objective is typically to prevent injuries and damage involving vehicles and machinery.

Ideal for environments where forklifts regularly operate, it's advisable to install impact barriers alongside racking, shelving, and other equipment. They're also suitable for corners and around support pillars. This strategic placement ensures that distractions from forklift operators result in collisions with the protective barrier first. Subsequently, this prevents extensive and costly damage. 

Achieving the same protective outcome is achievable using safety bollards, recommended for loading bays where lorries are reversing.

How Can I Use Safety Barriers To Protect Pedestrians In My Workplace?

In industrial and warehousing settings, the shared space between vehicles and pedestrians increases the risk of accidents. To address this, implementing designated safe walking routes is essential. While floor marking tapes offer a simple and effective solution, they may not entirely prevent individuals from taking shortcuts.

Installing multiple safety barriers serves as an effective strategy to separate pedestrian and vehicle areas. This not only discourages deviations from designated routes but also protects pedestrians in the event of an accident.

Where Should I Install Car Park Barriers?

For optimal installation, all our safety barriers are recommended for solid surfaces such as concrete and tarmac. In car park and garage forecourt environments, these barriers and bollards serve various purposes. 

Low-level hoop perimeter barriers help with marking property boundaries and discouraging drivers from parking too far. Distinguished by a bright yellow colour that is hard to miss, they stop accidents before they happen. 

Offering guidance for preferred parking and resistance to low-speed impacts, these barriers ensure the preservation of surrounding structures.

How Do Parking Posts Work?

Whether reserving a personal parking space at home, in an office car park, or temporarily controlling vehicle access, parking posts and barriers prove ideal. Supplied with keys, these posts will only stand erect or lie flat by authorised individuals. 

When in a standing position, the posts effectively prevent unauthorised access. This is assuming the gap around the post is not wide enough for a vehicle to pass through. Lowering the parking bollard allows for easy access, providing ample clearance for vehicles to drive over. 

The simplicity of this mechanism makes it a practical solution for various parking management needs.
