Boplan – EUTRACO’s trusted safety partner for 25 years
Step into an EUTRACO distribution centre and you’ll notice it immediately: organised bustle at full speed. Forklifts whizz past, trucks line up smoothly at the dock, and employees move safely between zones. That’s no coincidence. It is the result of 25 years of collaboration between EUTRACO and Boplan. Two companies with the same core values and the same ambition: to create innovative, durable solutions that truly make a difference.
Over the years, Boplan has installed safety barriers and pedestrian protection from the FLEX IMPACT® range across all sites. Our collaboration grew naturally alongside EUTRACO’s expansion. Today, that adds up to 15 sites and no less than 669,597 m² of warehouse space.
A tour through EUTRACO’s safe warehouses
Safe pedestrian zones
At stairs, raised areas and office spaces, Boplan installed HP PLUS 3 handrails. These robust handrails guide pedestrians safely through the warehouse and prevent them from unintentionally entering areas with vehicle traffic. The striking yellow colour increases visibility and contributes to a clear, structured working environment.
Crossings are equipped with SWING GATES. These swing gates ensure pedestrians only cross in a controlled manner. The SWING GATES align seamlessly with the other products in the FLEX IMPACT® range. This gives the system a visually streamlined appearance and ensures perfect functional alignment.
Targeted protection for pedestrians and infrastructure
The TB 400 PLUS safety barrier creates a physical separation between pedestrians and heavy forklift traffic. With its double construction and energy-absorbing properties, both infrastructure and vehicles remain protected. Around fire extinguishers, TB 400 PLUS safety barriers with integrated handrails were installed in red with luminescent strips. Highly visible, even in the dark. Electrical cabinets are securely protected with the robust TB SUPER DOUBLE safety barrier.
Rack and storage area protection
At the end of each aisle, RACKENDs protect the racks. They absorb the impact of a forklift fork, flex with it and then return to their original shape – eliminating costly repairs.
Between the stacking racks, RACKBULL® rack protection were installed at the base of the uprights. These protectors help prevent structural damage to the racks. This preserves the stability of the storage system and reduces the risk of collapse.
In the car park, wheel stops guide trucks into their parking spaces and prevent vehicles from hitting infrastructure while parking.
The result
Thanks to Boplan, EUTRACO now has a warehouse environment where:
- Pedestrian routes and forklift traffic are clearly and logically separated.
- Critical installations and infrastructure are optimally protected.
- Damage and maintenance costs are significantly reduced.
- Safety, efficiency and business continuity go hand in hand.
For us, Boplan is more than just a supplier – they are a true safety partner. With over 25 years of experience. The quality of their safety solutions is unmatched: robust, striking and durable.
