At the entrance, the meter-long TB 400 PLUS FENCE immediately catches the eye. This high-performance barrier with integrated fencing absorbs impacts of up to 20.1 kJ and completely separates the pedestrian walkway from forklift traffic. Its clever design with a fine-mesh grid prevents contact between forklifts and pedestrians. To protect at floor level as well, kick rails were installed at the base. This prevents forklift forks from sliding underneath the barrier. Thanks to this approach, forklift operators can load and unload goods without putting pedestrians at risk.

HP PLUS 3 RAILS handrails were also installed in strategic locations to guide pedestrians. They create clear physical separation between walkways and areas used by rolling equipment. With an impact value of up to 5.5 kJ, they provide a strong visual and physical buffer. 

A workstation on the shop floor is protected with the TB 400 PLUS. This FLEX IMPACT® solution combines the impact resistance of the TB 400 with the enhanced protection of the HP PLUS handrail. With an impact rating of up to 20.1 kJ, it is the ideal barrier to protect this area from forklift traffic.

At key points along the walkways, self-closing SWING GATES require users to come to a complete stop before entering a forklift zone. The gate opens toward the user, creating a natural stopping effect that increases alertness.

The DOCK GATE FORCE safety gate with double rails provides fall protection at loading docks, but—as shown here—it can also be used to shield critical areas. Depending on the model, this gate withstands impacts of up to 10 kJ and allows forklifts to pass safely without putting pedestrians at risk.

What do Boplan safety solutions deliver in practice?

Thanks to Boplan safety solutions, this building materials manufacturer benefits from: 

  • A significant improvement in safety
    Effective separation of pedestrians and forklifts significantly reduces the risk of accidents.
  • Optimized infrastructure protection
    Barriers and bollards minimize damage to machinery and buildings.
  • Efficient access
    With systems such as the DOCK GATE and SWING GATE, access remains smooth with no compromises.
  • A sustainable investment
    Impact-resistant, low-maintenance materials help minimize damage, reduce maintenance costs, and ultimately lower operating expenses.
