Safety barriers
FLEX IMPACT® safety barriers provide protection against collisions with forklifts and other vehicles. They are necessary 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 safety barrier 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 safety barriers' modular design enables your company to install our safety systems one zone at a time, or to expand its safety systems at a later date.

Each type of safety barrier is different
Effective safety barriers prevent serious and even fatal accidents. It is therefore very important to make an informed choice based on the right criteria.
Boplan offers a wide range of safety barrier systems for rolling stock. These are perfect for high-risk zones with mixed pedestrian and forklift traffic. They also provide ground-level protection and protect pedestrians from poorly stacked or falling products. In addition to our safety barrier 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?
Safety barriers 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 characteristics of Boplan safety barriers?
Boplan safety barriers have the following advantages:
- Impact resistance: Our products are made of 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 safety barriers themselves less likely.
- Visibility: The safety barriers are available in a range of colours. The standard colour 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, which 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 safety barriers are suitable for applications in the food industry, logistics, the petrochemical industry, aviation, construction, warehousing, production centres ...
What do polymer safety barriers cost?
Polymer safety barriers are slightly more expensive to buy than steel safety barriers, but are cheaper in the long term. 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, its total cost of ownership (TCO) of is much lower than that of steel.
