Chilly temperatures, expensive rapid doors, active loading docks, pedestrians and forklifts – talk about a busy environment! When the managers of this large cold store reached out to us, we were only too happy to help them protect expensive assets, like automation systems and doors, as well as their employees from forklift traffic and moving goods.
Our 910-2 Barrier is the go-to option for cases like this, and we maximised its presence for full protection. With the addition of some personnel gates, there was now a clearly defined pedestrian area, with safe access points and clear visual deterrents from getting too close to installed assets. We also recommended adding additional signage, and the clients took that up with matching yellow 'warning signs', the icing on the safety cake as it were.
Our Door Frame Bollards added extra protection around the doors, preventing accidental damage. While these doors may be on the tall side, they were no issue for our team, as we can handle custom sizes to fit and protect any doorway. The Door Frame Bollards are worth their weight in gold because doors like these don’t come cheap, and they tend to be victims of accidental bumps and scrapes by vehicles and forklifts more often than you would think. Our Door Frame Bollards prevent damage and costly downtime for repairs while creating a strong visual deterrent for drivers on site, a win/win if you ask us.
We also capped off the project with some Tru-Gard Breakaway Bollards. These were installed to protect electrical equipment across the site, including door and dock control boxes. These bollards are attached to a breakaway base plate with shear bolts, designed to absorb the impact of a crash while breaking free of the base to prevent costly damage to the floor.
Now, their people and assets are well protected from any accidental damage, saving costly downtime, expensive repairs, and most importantly, preventing injuries.
