Boplan: EUTRACO’s trusted partner in safety for 25 years

Step into an EUTRACO distribution center and you’ll notice it immediately: organized bustle at full speed. Forklifts whiz past, trucks line up smoothly at the dock, and employees move safely between zones. This is 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 its FLEX IMPACT® range at every EUTRACO location. 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.

Eutraco & Boplan

Safety as the foundation

Forklifts and pedestrians cross paths constantly. Pallets are stacked high in the racks and trucks come and go continuously. Without the right protection, collisions, damage, and downtime are ever-present risks. 

To prevent this, Boplan developed an integrated safety concept tailored to EUTRACO’s processes. Following a thorough analysis of its zones, traffic flows, and impact risks, it was decided to use durable, impact-resistant solutions from the FLEX IMPACT® range, focusing on:

  • Physical separation of pedestrian and forklift traffic.
  • Protection of critical infrastructure such as racks, fire extinguishers, cross braces, electrical cabinets, and columns.
  • Efficient traffic flows and clear visual demarcation.

Safe pedestrian zones

Boplan installed HP PLUS 3 handrails at stairs, on raised areas, and in office spaces. These robust handrails guide pedestrians safely through the warehouse and prevent them from unintentionally entering areas with vehicle traffic. Their striking yellow color increases visibility and helps create a clear, organized working environment. 

Crossings are equipped with SWING GATES. These swing gates ensure that pedestrians cross in a controlled manner. Boplan's SWING GATES align seamlessly with the other products in its FLEX IMPACT® range. This creates a visually streamlined appearance and ensures perfect functional alignment.

Targeted protection for pedestrians and infrastructure


Boplan's TB 400 PLUS safety barrier establishes physical separation between pedestrians and heavy forklift traffic. Thanks to 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. They are always highly visible, even in the dark. Electrical cabinets are securely protected with the robust TB SUPER DOUBLE safety barrier.

Rack and storage area protection

RACKENDs protect the racks at the end of each aisle. They absorb the impact of a forklift fork, flex with it, and then return to their original shape - eliminating costly repairs. 

RACKBULL® rack protectors were installed at the base of the uprights between stacking racks. These protectors help prevent structural damage to the racks. This preserves the stability of the storage system and reduces the risk of collapse.

Protection of load-bearing elements and gates

Column protectors protect structural elements of buildings, such as pillars and columns. These flexible polymer solutions absorb impacts and return to their original shape after a collision. This preserves the building’s structural integrity and reduces maintenance and repair costs. Bollards are positioned at gates, on corners, and in loading bays. 

Key features of our safety solutions:

  • High impact absorption
  • Easy installation and low maintenance
  • Available in different sizes and colors
  • Durable materials that provide long-lasting protection

In parking areas, 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 separated clearly and logically.
  • Critical installations and infrastructure are optimally protected.
  • Damage and maintenance costs are significantly reduced.
  • Safety, efficiency, and business continuity go hand in hand.
