Bee-colored safety solutions for the new distribution center of ICKO, the world's largest supplier of beekeeping supplies

Protection of people, goods, and infrastructure at a new warehouse and distribution center

ICKO sought safety solutions to protect the infrastructure, goods, and people at its new warehouse and distribution center. Boplan installed safety barriers, wheel stops, and column protection.

Challenge

As a rapidly growing company, ICKO invested in a new warehouse and distribution center for its beekeeping products. To protect pedestrians, the new infrastructure, and the building itself, ICKO sought a one-stop-shop for safety products suitable for warehouses and distribution centers. ICKO set the following safety solution requirements: they had to be striking, durable, and highly efficient.

We like that the safety solutions have the same striking colors as bees. Although all products have an excellent finish, the KP Protector truly stands out visually. We believe it's a great product, both functionally and in terms of design.

Our safety solutions

TB 260 PLUS

The TB 260 PLUS safety barrier prevents pedestrian collisions caused by forklift traffic. The low tube prevents pallets or goods from sliding under the barrier, while the double handrails guide pedestrians and offer additional safety.

Bollards

Bollards protect key areas from collisions. They enhance visibility, making forklift drivers more aware of protruding corners at gates, for example. Even if a collision occurs, our bollard returns to its original condition without damage.

KP Protector

The KP PROTECTOR column protection is a vital safety feature. A forklift collision with a pillar or column can cause serious damage and compromise the building's stability. The round KP PROTECTOR is easy to install and, like other FLEX IMPACT® products, is highly impact resistant. The product is not only functional but also admired by ICKO for its design.

We selected polymer safety barriers for their durability and modular components. Unlike steel safety structures, they don't need replacement after impact, since they return to their original state. The protection is easily adaptable, making future expansion quick and simple.

Our collaboration with Boplan has been first-class. We could rely on fast deliveries, smooth installation, and excellent follow-up from our Boplan contact. Our site is now much safer. I particularly love that the barriers are available in typical bee colors. We couldn't be more satisfied as customers!
