Safety barriers
FLEX IMPACT® safety barriers provide protection against collisions with forklifts and other vehicles. They are essential in high-traffic environments or locations in which heavy loads are moved or transported, such as warehouses, production halls and airports.
Tests show that this type of industrial safety guardrails can withstand impacts up to 50.10 kJ. What is unique about our safety barriers is that even in the event of a collision, the anchor points stay secured to the floor and the flexible elements regain their original shape. The modular design of the guardrails enables your company to install our safety systems one zone at a time or to expand your safety systems at a later date.

Each type of guardrail is different
Effective safety barriers prevent serious and even fatal accidents. It is therefore very important that you make an informed choice based on the right criteria.
Boplan offers a wide range of safety barrier systems for a variety of vehicles. They are perfect for high-risk zones with mixed pedestrian and forklift traffic. They also provide ground-level protection and safeguard pedestrians from poorly stacked or falling products. In addition to our guardrail range, we also offer bollards and safety gates, column and corner protection, rack protection, kick rails and wheel stops, loading dock protection and protective bumpers.
FAQs
What are safety barriers or guardrails ?
Safety barriers or guardrails are a safety solution that primarily serves to protect infrastructure, buildings, and pedestrians against damage and collisions caused by vehicles. We also use them to keep designated routes clear by separating pedestrian traffic and vehicles. Boplan offers different types of safety barriers that you can combine with other safety products. You can add a handrail system, for example.
What are the benefits of Boplan guardrails ?
Boplan safety barriers have the following benefits:
- Impact resistance: Our products are made of a high-quality polymer. This material is ideal for absorbing heavy impacts. Crash tests prove that our safety barriers withstand impacts of up to 50.10 kJ, depending on the type.
- Flexibility: Our safety barriers bend on impact, which means damage to the vehicle or the safety barriers is less likely.
- Visibility: The guardrails are available in a range of colors. The standard color is yellow because its visibility attracts attention and makes people more aware of safety.
- Modularity: Our safety barriers are available in different sizes and configurations. They are also easy to expand. This makes them suitable for rapidly changing environments. You can easily adapt them to your needs, unlike steel safety barriers that are welded.
- Corrosion resistant: Our weatherproof products are corrosion and chemical resistant. They are perfect for environments where chemicals are used and where strict hygiene standards apply. Bacteria don't adhere to the polymer, and our products are easy to clean.
- Versatility: Our guardrails are suitable for applications in the food industry, logistics, the petrochemical industry, aviation, construction, warehousing, production sites ...
What do polymer guardrails cost?
Polymer guardrails are slightly more expensive to purchase than steel safety barriers but are cheaper in the long run. This is because the material and manufacturing costs of polymer are higher than those of steel. However, thanks to the sustainability, long lifetime, and low maintenance costs of polymer safety barriers, their total cost of ownership (TCO) is much lower than that of steel.
