Pedestrians and equipment protected in JCL Logistics’ bicycle distribution center
JCL Logistics needed robust safety solutions to protect pedestrians and infrastructure from forklift collisions. Boplan installed a range of protection products, including rack protection, column protection, safety barriers, and handrails.
The challenge
In its busy distribution center, JCL Logistics required effective safety protection measures to prevent industrial accidents and equipment damage. A safety analysis mapped pedestrian and traffic flows, highlighting the high risk of forklift collisions. Pedestrians were particularly vulnerable in open areas near stairs or when entering the logistics zone. Ventilation and fire protection systems were also vulnerable to damage.
To prevent accidents, it's crucial to alert pedestrians to forklift traffic. Additionally, pedestrians and installations need protection in case of steering errors or inattentiveness by forklift drivers. Boplan’s tailored safety solutions significantly enhanced safety at this site.

These safety products heighten pedestrian awareness of forklift traffic, ensuring greater vigilance when entering the logistics center. They are positioned in a secured zone while crossing, protecting them even if the forklift driver is inattentive. We strongly believe these safety products are the best choice to enhance the safety of people and infrastructure.
Our safety solutions at JCL Logistics
Rack protection
In a high-traffic distribution centre, a stacking rack is a vulnerable asset. An accident can happen quickly; in the best-case scenario, there is only limited damage. Unfortunately, even worse accidents happen. JCL Logistics relies on RACKBULL® for rack protection. This innovative rack protection prevents stacking racks from collapsing in the event of collisions and is easy to install. An additional advantage is that the exact size does not matter as the RACKBULL® fits different diameters.

Column protection
Columns also often suffer from collisions. The KP Protector offers ideal protection here. This round column protector helps prevent damage from collisions with masts and load-bearing pillars. The KP Protector comes in different sizes and, like our other FLEX IMPACT® products, retains its shape, appearance and properties after impact.
