The benefits of removable base plates in industrial environments
Removable base plates are a smart solution for companies seeking to combine industrial safety with maximum flexibility. In modern manufacturing and logistics environments, safety solutions must adapt to evolving processes without compromising protection.
This is why Boplan offers removable base plates for various types of safety barriers, bollards and handrails. This ensures durable protection while maintaining maximum freedom of movement.
What is a removable base plate for industrial applications?
A removable base plate is a modular fastening system that enables temporary detachment of a safety product, such as a barrier or bollard, from the floor for easy reinstallation later. Unlike permanent anchoring, this flexible installation offers the same robust stability, with the added advantage of being easy to install and remove.
This allows Boplan safety barriers and handrails to be removed and reinstalled quickly and repeatedly, without causing damage to the floor or product.
When should you opt for removable base plates in your industrial environment?
Case study – Belcolade
At Belcolade, the Belgian producer of premium chocolate, Boplan secured an access point to a sectional overhead door using two SLIDING GATES that close against a removable support post.
When both gates are closed, the structure forms a completely enclosed walkway. When temporary access is required, the gates can simply slide open and the post can be lifted out of the base plate.
Smart investment in flexibility
By choosing safety barriers on removable base plates, you are opting for safety that evolves with your organisation. Whether you temporarily need more space or wish to adapt your infrastructure to new processes: Boplan offers flexible safety barriers that adapt to your requirements without compromising protection.
