The safety barriers have the function of preventing possible falls both of operators and pallet trucks or forklifts in the loading dock without door or when the door is open and the truck is not yet in place. Given the incline between the dock and the ground, the best solution in terms of accident containment is a physical barrier. In addition, it also protects other equipment from possible impacts.
This barrier, suitable for any type of dock and logistic platform, is installed on the leveller ramp to protect the outer gap of the dock. Depending on the available height in the loading dock, its rising will be vertical or horizontal. Self-supporting structure and it does not require civil works. There is no cycle limit and therefore no maintenance costs. It is manufactured in galvanised steel with yellow RAL lacquered finish. It can be motorised, automatic or man-present.
Improves security compared to other flexible products (chains, belts, flexible doors or PVC doors, etc.) that may have tearing or deterioration due to wear and tear from solar radiation or a limited life cycle of use.
- Combined with a sectional door, it allows to air out the area of the docks keeping safety for personnel.
- When, in a warehouse, the task of loading and unloading merchandise is done from a considerable height and by forklifts like mezzanines, a double safety barrier creating a security interlock is the most effective solution to keep workers protected throughout the process. It acts as a protective railing, creating a secure closed area. The double barrier can be automatic or man present.
- To preserve safety on the docks in the event of smoke evacuation
- On docks with shelter areas, it allows the barrier to open halfway to make easier the exit of the ramp lip and to avoid creating a gap between ramp and truck, which could be dangerous.
- To avoid falling into the pit of a lifting table or into a service lift shaft.
- To prevent access to dangerous machinery at work.
- To protect pedestrian passage in corridors prior to crossing forklifts traffic areas at a logistic warehouse or factory as safety barrier.
- It can also have the function of an anti-surge protection barrier.
