Polymer safety solutions protect the pedestrians and infrastructure of AZA Logistics

Protect people against forklifts

AZA Logistics needed robust safety solutions to protect its pedestrians and infrastructure from forklift collisions. Various traffic flows overlapped, which resulted in a high risk of accidents and collisions. To minimise accidents and avoid collision damage, AZA Logistics chose Boplan polymer safety solutions. We offered a suitable solution for every safety problem, from safety barriers and handrails to rack protection and bollards.

Challenge

The safe demarcation of various traffic flows is not easy in busy logistics centre such as AZA Logistics: traffic must circulate easily and efficiently, but this must never compromise safety. To keep pedestrians safe and protect the infrastructure, AZA Logistics needed well-designed, user-friendly, high-performance safety solutions. Boplan proposed a mix of safety solutions with safety barriers, rack protection, bollards and impact protection.

OUR SAFETY SOLUTIONS

RACK PROTECTION PREVENTS DAMAGE TO RACKS AT AZA LOGISTICS

We installed our RE RACK END to protect the vulnerable ends of the stacking racks. This prevents forklifts from hitting the corner of a rack and causing a domino effect when they enter a warehouse aisle. This is an essential requirement in a busy distribution centre such as AZA Logistics.

Safety barriers with handrails

Considering the estimated impact, we proposed two types of impact protection:

We used the TB 260 PLUS in the pedestrian environments, because its integrated handrails clearly segregate the pedestrian pathways and goods stacking areas. It provides good visibility, guidance and impact protection up to 46.5 kJ.

We used the TB 400 PLUS in forklift manoeuvre environments where a lower impact value was required. The TB 400 PLUS provides impact protection up to 21.1 kJ.

POLYMER VERSUS STEEL

Our Extrilene® safety products are strong and flexible, but they have even more benefits. Our products regain their original shape after impact. This results in significant cost savings, as you don't have to replace them after each impact the way you have to with steel products. And you will also save on maintenance, because our mass coloured products do not require painting.
