Impact protection

Impact protection barriers are highly versatile and can be used to protect individuals, buildings, machines and technical systems, depending on their shape, dimensions and material. They can also be utilised as fall protection for stairways or ledges. We offer a wide range of impact protection barriers in various forms to meet your needs:

• round arch or inverted U-shape
• with cross braces
• as a 2-part round arch construction
• as a ground barrier
• with an angled profile
• with underrun protection

Warehouse impact protection rails are used to separate or mark paths in different operating areas. They are therefore ideal for outlining pedestrian areas or securing hazardous zones. Unlike impact protection barriers, railings offer a continuous barrier and, unless there is an intentional gap, neither vehicles nor people can enter the areas they surround.

Warehouse rails can be securely fixed into the ground using base plates to provide better resistance to approaching vehicles. Depending on the operating area, cushioning elements may also be used: railing posts with an inclined angle give way and divert the force of collision as gently as possible, reducing overall damage to vehicles. Some impact protection rails have a fluorescent coating to ensure they are visible even in low light conditions.

If you need to protect larger operating areas from potential damage caused by larger industrial machinery, but still need access to walls, stored goods, or work equipment, impact protection boards are an ideal choice. These boards, which are only around 30-40cm high, provide effective warehouse impact protection against stacker trucks or pallet jacks by absorbing the impact of vehicles at a lower height. These types of collision prevention elements are usually anchored directly into the ground. This is achieved with the use of robust support posts, which provide optimal force absorption. Impact protection boards also offer maximum safety when positioned in areas frequented by heavy or fast-moving vehicles. Extension sets can be used to adjust the boards to the conditions on site, allowing them to even be set up around corners.

Impact protection bollards are primarily used to secure traffic routes. They offer reliable protection for people, buildings and machines, especially when stacker trucks, pallet trucks and other vehicles are present on company premises. Impact protectors, such as these bollards, can even call attention to inconspicuous curves or building corners that may otherwise be easily missed. Depending on the intended use, bollards can be anchored or secured with concrete into the ground. HDPE bollards with tilting and auto-recovery features provide a gentler cushioning effect during collisions, thereby reducing the damage caused to vehicles.

Our impact protection products can be installed at a safe distance from a hazardous area, with the extra space only adding to the performance of the impact protector used. Some of our products, however, provide optimal collision protection when mounted on the hazardous object itself. Ourcolumn protectors are one such example. They are specially designed to be mounted onto columns to prevent collisions. They are made of weather-resistant polyethylene and have internal cavities supported by plastic slats for dimensional stability.

Column protectors are not only highly stable and resistant to stress cracking, but their flexible integrated slats enable them to spring back in the event of an impact. This helps absorb impact energy, minimising and, in some cases, even preventing damage to vehicles. Available in signal colours, column impact protectors can be purchased from Jungheinrich PROFISHOP in a range of models that can be stretched around bollards or pillars.

Our corner protection products provide reliable cushioning for corners and edges, such as those found on railings, passages, or pipes. Made from durable and solvent-resistant polyurethane foam (PU foam), our corner and edge protectors can be attached using self-adhesive or magnetic coatings. To ensure an optimal fit on the edges that need to be padded, our shop offers corner protection in various profiles:

• semicircle
• circle
• rectangle
• trapeze
• angled

It is important that shelves, particularly heavy-duty shelves, are correctly secured in position to prevent injury or product damage at the workplace. At Jungheinrich PROFISHOP, you can purchase rack impact protection that can provide collision protection for racks and shelving systems of all sizes. All our impact protection elements for shelves have a minimum height of 30cm, feature conspicuous yellow or black and yellow colouring, and can withstand collision forces from 400 Nm. Depending on the design, our shelf and rack impact protectors can be attached to the shelf legs (shelf leg protection), front side or shelf ends. Our impact protection elements are primarily intended to prevent shelves from being damaged or collapsing as a result of collisions with vehicles.

Impact protection corners are crucial for protecting shelves from collisions. They are not only useful for storage racks, but also for safeguarding columns, steel beams, pipes or building corners. Collision elements for corners are used not only in warehouses but also in driveways or multi-storey car parks. They are fixed to the ground using concrete screws and are available in various profiles.
