Common Mistakes When Choosing Impact Protection

The right impact protection is an investment that saves money. But many people make mistakes that lead to ineffective solutions or unnecessary costs. Here we list the most common pitfalls you should avoid.

1. Buying protection that is too weak

A common mistake is underestimating the force of the vehicles in the environment. Choose protection that can withstand the worst-case scenario, not just everyday use.

2. Placing the protection incorrectly

Protection installed too close to machinery, doors or walls leaves no margin in the event of an impact. Make sure to maintain the correct clearance during mounting.

3. Lacking a holistic approach

Protect the entire flow, not just individual points. Consider walkways, traffic zones and the entire logistics flow.

4. Mixing products without a plan

Different brands don’t always work together. Stick to a system that has been tested as a whole for the best results.

5. Underestimating aesthetics and signal value

Visible, clearly marked protection signals safety. Color, shape and design all affect the sense of safety.
