Boplan protects people and infrastructure at Sleepworld with advanced impact protection

Protecting employees and infrastructure in a dynamic warehouse

Sleepworld, the sleep comfort specialist, operates a large logistics centre for the storage and distribution of mattresses and related products. Safety is essential in this busy environment, where electric forklifts and pallet trucks are constantly on the move. Sleepworld wanted to better protect its employees and prevent damage to racks, columns and critical installations.

Putting safety first in a busy logistics environment

The safety needs at Sleepworld

The safety needs were clear. Forklift trucks weaved through the aisles between the racks. They crossed paths at busy junctions and passed too close to vulnerable areas such as gates, charging stations and fire-fighting equipment. There were also risks at height. The need for targeted protection was evident.

Sleepworld looked for a solution that was both robust and visually appealing. Systems that absorb impacts, minimise damage and downtime, and give the new warehouse a professional appearance. Sleepworld opted for a complete package of FLEX IMPACT® solutions from Boplan.

RACK END

Powerful safety solutions

BOPLAN installed various types of safety barriers in strategic locations. Each with the appropriate impact resistance for its zone. Each element is tailored to the specific risk, combining strength, flexibility and aesthetics. 

The Rack End provides protection for the ends of racks. This safety solution absorbs the impact of heavy collisions when entering and exiting aisles and, thanks to its modular, shape-restoring design, is ideal for intense forklift traffic.

RACKBULL®

Universal rack protector

Universal protectors that fit any rack support. They are flexible, fit perfectly, absorb frontal and side impacts, and stay firmly in place. Even under repeated impact. In warehouses where every square centimetre counts, RACKBULL® ensures protection without taking up space.


 

TB400 safety barrier

Targeted protection for critical areas

TB 400 for charging stations and around pillars. This robust safety barrier absorbs impacts to prevent damage to charging infrastructure or columns.

Handrail with kick rail

The mezzanine is now equipped with HD MEZZA fall protection. This barrier features a plinth at the bottom. It prevents pallets or goods from sliding under the railing and accidentally falling onto people on the lower floor.

Heavy-duty bollards

BO IMPACT bollards protect gates and fire-fighting equipment. Compact, highly visible and with high impact resistance, they are ideal for protecting critical areas. 
 

Height restrictors

The vulnerable fire sprinkler pipes were given dedicated protection with the GOAL POST. This height restrictor prevents forklifts from hitting the pipes. 

 

Column and corner protection

We installed CP Universal column protections around the building’s columns. They absorb light impacts and help guide traffic. In areas where wall corners were frequently hit, Corner Protectors now provide subtle yet effective protection against abrasion and impact damage.

Plinth protection

Safety was also addressed at ground level. The FLIP180L M plinth protection protects the ends of racks where goods are stacked. The plinth prevents damage from forklift forks when setting down or picking up loads.

The result: peace of mind, confidence and greater safety

The impact of Boplan’s solutions is both tangible and visible:

  • Employees feel safer
  • Reduced downtime and repair costs
  • A more streamlined, uniform and safer warehouse
  • Smoother and more efficient logistics processes
