in car parks even the smallest of impact bumps with the perimeter structure can lead to expensive vehicle body and structure repairs. in multi-storey car parks, especially on the upper levels, a far more serious accident could occur where a vehicle could possibly even be driven off an edge! car park barrier systems are a perfect way to help avoid unnecessary damage to structures as they are designed to protect perimeter fencing and walls. car park barrier systems inherent flexibility and impact absorption properties of these car park barriers also helps ensure that any vehicle hitting them will suffer little or no damage. in addition these industry standard car park barrier systems can be used as a barrier to designate and separate both car park perimeters or specified zones. the impact height centre of the car park barrier systems and the optionally available anti-climb attachment make these barriers fully compliant with current car park regulations.

there are several versions of a-safe traffic barrier systems available which are single rail traffic barriers, double rail traffic barriers, and traffic barriers with pedestrian rails. these professional and industry standard traffic barriers are ideal for the delineation and segregation of fork lift or vehicle traffic ways in commercial and industrial environments.
single rail traffic barrier, with an impact height centre of 300mm, is ideal for use in the definition of fork lift/vehicle traffic ways and also in situations where traffic segregation is required. the single rail barrier system is easily assembled from modular components to any desired length and as standard is supplied complete with all necessary floor fixing bolts for anchoring the barrier posts into concrete. for single rail traffic barrier system lengths between 300mm and 1350mm the single rail traffic barrier is supplied as a pre-assembled one piece unit. the barrier can also be optionally supplied as a ‘cast in’ version. post assemblies are supplied with a longer post and no base plate. the additional length allows the posts to be sunk into holes which are then filled with concrete, encasing the post when set. ideal for delineation and segregation of fork lift or vehicle traffic ways
the double rail traffic barrier system is derivative of the single rail traffic barrier system for use in situations where increased impact protection, due to the presence of larger or more powerful vehicles, is expected to be needed.the lower rail remains at a 300mm impact height centre with the upper rail being at a 650mm impact height centre. the second rail gives the double rail barrier system the additional height to provide protection where there is a risk or chance of impact occurring from vehicles or their loads at a height greater than 300mm and causing damage to personnel, equipment or structures.
traffic barrier systems when used in conjunction with the pedestrian rail attachment the single rail traffic barrier system becomes a combination barrier providing enhanced low level vehicle impact protection with the additional height needed for protection of personnel, pedestrians or equipment. as the pedestrian rail attachment is an add-on item to the traffic barrier system, it can be retrofitted or removed from a barrier section as and when required. where there are changes in barrier direction, corner units are available to give continuity in the pedestrian rail attachment without breaks. mini bollards (400mm high) are optionally available for added protection on barrier direction changes of 90°. gates and health and safety signage can be incorporated with the pedestrian rail attachment. it is ideally suited for use in situations where personnel, pedestrians, equipment or structures are in close proximity to frequently or heavily used forklift or vehicle traffic routes.

advanced safety barriers have many years of experience in the provision of fork lift trucks and the sale and installation of warehouse and factory racking and storage systems. as a result of this practical knowledge they are therefore highly experienced and knowledgeable in safety requirements and understand fully the potential dangers in such working environments. for this reason that they recommend the a-safe rack end safety barriers.
for a moment please reflect on one possible accident scenario, that of a vehicle or forklift truck that collided with a fully laden rack in a warehouse or factory. the resulting damage to your valuable stock, the actual racking system, the vehicle or forklift truck, plus the very real risk of serious injury to personnel, could cause immense difficulties and problems for your business. prevention is always better than cure, so we recommend the installation of a-safe rack end safety barriers which, as well as being impact absorbing and extremely tough, rack end safety barriers also benefit from their bright colour high visibility which whilst enhancing the visual organisational appearance of your factory or warehouse, will assist in the prevention of such serious incidents occurring in the first place.

advanced handling and storage are pleased to present the renowned a-safe revolutionary pedestrian barriers system that protects your workforce and visitors from machinery and vehicles and a-safe pedestrian barriers help keep danger and people separate from each other.
Health and Safety at Work demands the highest safety standards in the workplace. Therefore, in busy, noisy, often confusing warehouse and factory environments, it is absolutely essential that employees, visitors and customers feel safe and clearly identify the safe areas at all times.
a-safe safety barriers are highly visible so that designated walkways are immediately identified which assists people to determine the areas to which they have access and those to which they have not. a-safe pedestrian safety barriers are a professional system and a-safe pedestrian safety barriers accessories are extremely adaptable as they have been specifically designed to incorporate access gates and health & safety signage with the pedestrian barriers where required.
a-safe pedestrian safety barriers possess diversity as they can also be supplied as a ‘cast in’ option version. the saftety pedestrain barrier post assemblies are supplied with a longer post and no base plate. the additional length allows the posts to be sunk into holes which are then filled with concrete, encasing the post when set.
a-safe pedestrian safety barriers can also be provided with fitted kick plates which helps to prevent low-level access and impact damage under the lower barrier rail or to prevent falling items from being a hazard when installed along an edge elevated above a lower working or pedestrianised level. (please note, kick plates cannot be retrofitted to existing pedestrian safety barrier sections). for further information on a-safe pedestrain safety barriers please do not hesitate to contact us.
