Choosing the right impact protection railings for occupational safety

Our impact protection railings can be used in a range of operational areas such as inside workshops and warehouses or in outdoor areas. They are used to safely separate work zones, traffic routes and footpaths in businesses with handing equipment or delivery traffic. The durable guardrails prevent both serious workplace injuries and costly damage to equipment, buildings and industrial trucks.

Jungheinrich PROFISHOP offers impact protection railings made of durable materials that are suitable for use in operational warehouses, workshops, or indoor and outdoor facilities. All warehouse guard rail systems in our product range are certified and meet the legal requirements for their respective areas of application. We also offer accessories and individual parts for impact protection railings, which can be used to accommodate the changing requirements of your business.

1. Choosing the right type of impact protection railing

Impact protection railing post, outdoor use

With workshop and warehouse protection railings, you can separate vehicle and pedestrian paths from each other, preventing collisions and other dangerous encounters and ensuring greater safety in the workplace. Specialised fall protection handrails can also be erected to mark danger zones and provide fall protection against steep drops.

Our product range also offers weather-resistant impact protector railings for outdoor use. These can be used to secure entrances, building sections and hazardous areas. The hot-dip-galvanised sectional steel has a yellow plastic coating that offers reliable protection against corrosion and good visibility in all weather conditions.

2. Buying impact protection railings for collision safety

Most of the warehouse safety guardrails available in our store are particularly effective in protecting against collisions with industrial trucks. The posts and crossbars are made of highly robust sectional steel, which enables them to stand up against harsh impacts. You can also purchase additional spring elements which can easily be attached to guard rail posts. These are made of robust PU and enable a safety railing to cushion hard impacts using a spring-back function. Warehouse safety railing systems offer many advantages in daily logistics and industrial use:

  • Drivers and pedestrians are protected from serious injuries and accident-related staff absences are reduced.
  • An industrial truck involved in a collision suffers little to no harm as a result of the mitigated impact.
  • Cargo is neither dropped nor destroyed during a collision.

3. Accessories for safety railings

4. FAQ for impact protection railings

According to The Health and Safety Executive, pedestrians and vehicles should be able to circulate safely. If pedestrians and vehicles use the same route, there should be a barrier between them. Using impact protection railings can prevent serious workplace injuries and costly damage to operating equipment, buildings and industrial trucks.

Warehouse safety railing should be high enough to protect people and property from injury and damage. At Jungheinrich PROFISHOP, you can get protection railings with heights ranging from 500mm to 1000mm.

Railing systems in a warehouse or on an outdoor premises can easily be installed with dowels that secure the base plate in place. The crossbeams are then interlocked to the remaining components to form a stable unit. Due to the modular design, the impact protection system is flexible and can be expanded as required.
