safety barriers provide protection against collisions with forklifts and other vehicles. They also offer ground-level protection and protect pedestrians from poorly stacked or falling objects.A unique feature of this safety solution is that a collision will not pull the fasteners out of the ground.The flexible components retain their original shape after impact.Protect your personnel and preserve your facility’s infrastructure with our advanced Safety Barriers – Boplan. Engineered to absorb the kinetic energy of a forklift or tugger collision, this resilient system bends on impact and instantly returns to its original shape. Unlike rigid steel guardrails that transfer crash force directly into your floor, our flexible design ensures that severe impacts will never pull concrete anchors out of the ground. Offering comprehensive defense—from ground-level vehicle deflections to protecting pedestrians from poorly stacked or falling inventory—it is an essential component for any facility committed to a zero-accident environment.

Boplan FLEX IMPACT Safety Barriers protect pedestrians, machinery, equipment, infrastructure, goods, and building surfaces from collisions involving forklifts and other industrial vehicles. Depending on the configuration, barriers can separate pedestrian walkways from vehicle routes, protect equipment at ground level, and help contain poorly stacked or falling materials.
The barriers use flexible Extrilene polymer components that absorb collision energy by bending during an impact. After the vehicle recoils, the components return toward their original shape while retaining their protective properties. This differs from rigid steel guardrails, which can permanently deform and transfer more collision force into their anchors and the surrounding concrete.
Boplan’s flexible design helps keep the anchor points secured by absorbing and distributing collision energy through the barrier components. This reduces the force transferred directly into the mounting hardware and concrete. Correct performance still depends on selecting the proper barrier, using the specified anchors, and installing it in concrete that meets the required condition and strength.
Impact resistance varies across the Boplan Safety Barrier range, with selected systems rated up to 50.1 kJ. Individual models have different ratings and protection heights based on their intended application. The required barrier should be selected using the vehicle’s maximum loaded weight, operating speed, impact angle, traffic pattern, and protected asset.
Yes. Barrier configurations with integrated handrails can separate pedestrian walkways from forklift, pallet-jack, tugger, and other vehicle routes. Certain models also include fencing to help protect pedestrians from machinery or falling materials. The appropriate configuration depends on vehicle exposure, required impact resistance, walkway width, visibility, access points, and surrounding operations.
Yes. Boplan Safety Barriers use a modular design that allows a facility to protect one zone initially and expand the system as traffic patterns or operations change. Available configurations include low-level vehicle barriers, barriers with handrails, and systems with integrated fencing. Compatibility and reuse depend on the selected models, spacing, anchors, and new layout.
