Customised safety products make a difference at Magna Casting Soest GmbH
Magna Casting Soest GmbH needed appropriate safety solutions to protect their sensitive machines from collisions with forklifts. To meet the specific requirements, Boplan developed customised safety products.
The challenge
Magna Casting Soest GmbH was looking for high-performance protection for their valuable machines against impact from forklifts. There were two main objectives: to avoid damage, but also to prevent production downtime due to repairs. To this end, it was important to adapt the safety solutions to the exact conditions on site. Boplan’s answer: customised safety solutions.
Our safety solutions
Protection of machines
To separate the driving lane from the machines, we installed the TB DOUBLE. This double crash barrier offers particularly stable protection thanks to its 2 planks. The safety barrier protects the machines in a highly efficient way without hindering work processes. In addition, it increases visibility and therefore also awareness, facilitating safe handling in the workplace.
At the most critical points in the production centre, we placed BO IMPACT bollards or protective posts. This protective post is specially designed for places where there is a frequent risk of impact, such as near doors, entrances and machines. A higher version of the post was specially made for Magna Casting Soest GmbH to stand out even more and absorb impacts from higher heights.
Customised safety solutions
In addition to the TB DOUBLE and BO IMPACT, we used customised safety solutions for the protection of specific machines. While doing this, we took into account how the machines work. On a specific machine, for example, we raised the support posts of the collision barrier, while also lowering the centre, so that goods can slide through easily.
