Safe from day one: Boplan protects new logistics centre from heavy traffic
Safety barriers are not only a legal requirement; they are a strategic choice above all else. This is why a leading player in the garden furniture industry intentionally invested in structural safety during the construction of its logistics centre in Evergem. Boplan was chosen for its unparalleled quality, sustainability and ability to provide visual tranquillity and aesthetic added value.
The company worked with Boplan to develop a safety concept that fits seamlessly into the daily reality of heavy traffic, large volumes of goods transport and a complex infrastructure with many risk areas.
The challenge
Creating a clear overview of a busy logistics environment
First of all, the new logistics centre obviously had to meet the legal requirements for pedestrian safety and safety barriers. In addition, the company wanted to create a safe working environment with increased efficiency and a clear and tidy appearance.
Specific focal points were:
- Clear and safe pedestrian guidance
- Protection of vulnerable columns in strategic locations
- Protection of electric pallet truck charging points
A smart, structured approach proved essential for maximum safety and optimal workflows.
The solution
Boplan safety products: flexible, sustainable and cost-saving
Boplan offered a flexible, modular approach with products from the FLEX IMPACT® range optimally tailored to specific needs. The solutions combine high impact resistance with visual guidance and a tidy finish:
KP column protection with extensions
Each of the many columns was given customised, modular protection. They have a sleek finish, fit perfectly and offer maximum impact resistance against forklift collisions.
TB 260 PLUS safety barrier
A double safety barrier with integrated plinth, ideal for shielding pedestrian areas and preventing loads from sliding under the barrier.
TB 400 safety barrier and HP PLUS handrails
The TB 400, the classic safety barrier. Perfect for walls, doors and sensitive infrastructure thanks to its strong impact-absorbing properties.
Near stairs, the HP PLUS safety barriers with triple handrails prevent unauthorised employees or visitors from entering work areas.
Bollards
Striking bollards with an impact resistance of up to 10,200 joules secure loading docks and also serve as a visual alert for forklift drivers.
FLIP180M kick rails
These kick rails are located at the charging points for electric pallet trucks. They protect sensitive connections areas from common collision damage during daily docking and undocking without interfering with operations.
