Impact Protection
Collisions lead to millions in potential losses from repairs, insurance, and downtime every year. With Axelent's modular impact protection system, you can minimise risks and reduce facility damage. Impact barriers define secure routes, prevent pedestrians from straying into forklift paths, and protect critical infrastructure from impact damage.
Impact barrier
Impact protection helps manage everyday impacts, reduce damage and keep operations moving, with clear paths to the right solutions, tools and expert support.
Pedestrian barrier
Pedestrian barriers create clear separation between people and vehicle traffic, helping protect walkways and shared zones. They integrate easily with other impact protection and floor barrier systems.
Bollards
Bollards protect corners, doorways and equipment from vehicle impacts. Helps guide traffic and improve safety in industrial environments.
Floor barrier
Floor barriers protect building perimeters and critical infrastructure from low-height vehicle impacts such as forks, pallets, AMRs and AGVs.
Column guard
Column guards protect structural columns from vehicle impacts by absorbing and deflecting collision forces by creating a protective buffer.
Challenges in traffic-intensive environments
In traffic-intensive environments, impacts protection increase safety on infrastructure, people and operational performance.
Impact protection is crucial when your operation involves:
- Frequent vehicle movement in narrow or shared zones. Limited space, crossing flows and high traffic density increase.
- Recurring impacts to infrastructure or existing protection. Columns, doors, pallet racking and barriers absorb repeated hits that weaken structures over time.
- High traffic areas, AGV and AMR zones, shared spaces between workers and traffic without clear separation. Pedestrian barriers protect people with well-defined walkways and crossing points.
Reducing risk where people and vehicles interact
In environments where people and vehicles operate side by side, pedestrian protection creates a physical barrier between pedestrians and vehicle traffic, reducing the risk of collisions.
By using clearly defined walkways and physical barriers, pedestrian protection controls movement and separates people from vehicle routes without restricting operational flow. Visible boundaries help reduce interaction in shared zones and support safer, more predictable movement.
Reduce damage to buildings and equipment
Infrastructure and assets are often at risk of vehicle collisions. Impact-resistant bollards and barriers provide robust protection by shielding doorways, walls, and columns, absorbing and redirecting impact forces during collisions, and protecting sensitive assets. The result is reduced structural degradation, lower repair costs and fewer operational disruptions.
