Polymer safety solutions protect the pedestrians and infrastructure of AZA Logistics
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.
WE CHOSE BOPLAN AS OUR SAFETY EXPERT BECAUSE IT OFFERS THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY. BOPLAN'S PRODUCTS ARE BOTH IMPACT RESISTANT AND LOW MAINTENANCE. THIS WILL SAVE US A LOT OF MONEY IN THE LONG RUN, BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO REPLACE OUR PROTECTION AFTER AN IMPACT. WE COULDN'T BE MORE SATISFIED AS A CUSTOMER.
