Safe from day one: Boplan protects new logistics center against heavy traffic
Safety barriers are a strategic choice above all else, not just a legal requirement. This is why a leading player in the garden furniture industry invested in structural safety when constructing its logistics center in Evergem. The company chose Boplan for its unparalleled quality, sustainability, and ability to provide visual tranquility and aesthetic value.
Together, the companies developed a safety concept that seamlessly integrates into the daily reality of heavy traffic, large volumes of transported goods, 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 center had to meet the legal requirements for pedestrian safety and safety barriers. Additionally, the company wanted to create a safe working environment that is more efficient and has a clear, 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 achieving maximum safety and optimal workflows.
The solution
Boplan safety products: flexible, sustainable and cost-saving
Boplan offered a flexible, modular approach, providing products from the FLEX IMPACT® range that were optimally tailored to specific needs. These solutions combine high impact resistance with visual guidance and a neat appearance.
KP column protection with extensions
Each of the many columns was fitted with customized, modular protection. They have a sleek finish, fit perfectly, and provide maximum protection against forklift collisions.
TB 260 PLUS safety barrier
This double safety barrier has an integrated plinth and is ideal for shielding pedestrian areas and preventing loads from sliding under the barrier.
TB 400 safety barrier and HP PLUS handrails
The TB 400 is the classic safety barrier. Thanks to its strong impact-absorbing properties, it is perfect for walls, doors, and sensitive infrastructure.
Near stairs, HP PLUS safety barriers with triple handrails prevent unauthorized employees or visitors from entering work areas.
Bollards
These striking bollards have an impact resistance of up to 10,200 joules. They secure loading docks and serve as a visual alert for forklift drivers.
FLIP180M kick rails
These kick rails are located at electric pallet truck charging points. They protect the sensitive connection areas from common collision damage during daily docking and undocking, all while allowing operations to continue uninterrupted.
