In warehouse and logistics environments, safety is a critical factor in protecting people, buildings and equipment alike. Impact protection reduces the risk of damage caused by forklifts, stackers and other vehicles. In this guide, you’ll find practical advice on how to choose the right protection for your operation.
How do you choose the right impact protection?
Always start with a risk assessment of your facility. Identify walkways, doors, corners, machinery and pallet racking where the risk of collision is high. Also consider the type of traffic involved: forklifts, pallet jacks, heavy vehicles or internal transport.
- Protection at doors and corners: heavy-duty barriers or protective hoops
- Walkway protection: separating railings or flexible barriers
- Protection for machinery and pallet racking: a combination of impact protection and corner guards
Typical applications
- Forklift aisles and transport areas
- Goods receiving and loading zones
- Cross-docking areas and buffer storage
- Automated warehouses with robot and machine traffic
Benefits of professional impact protection
- Less downtime and lower repair costs
- Protection for people, property and goods flows
- A better work environment and clear traffic management
