Height Restrictors
Height Restrictors are part of the Door Protection product range. They are of fully modular construction comprising, depending on internal height clearance requirements, fixed or modular ground level bollard 200 post units, intermediate post extension units, end extension units and top rail units.
Fixed ground level post units can be used up to a maximum internal height clearance of 3.4m and the modular ground level, intermediate and end extension post units can be used to provide an internal clearance to a required height. Up to internal heights of 3.4m units are free standing but above 3.4m the modular ground, intermediate extension and end extension post units are anchored using brackets to a suitable mounting surface. Units have been supplied and installed with height clearances of 7.75m but the actual achievable height limit is restricted by the physical and safety aspects of installation.
The maximum internal width clearance for the standard height restrictor units is 4.3m. Larger widths can be accommodated but is subject to a suitable mounting service being available to which the height restrictor top rail can be anchored at one or more points using brackets.
Applications and Benefits
Height Restrictors have two main functions, doorway opening edge protection and height restriction for prevention of high-level impact damage.
For edge protection at the entrance and exit sides of doorway openings the height restrictors are sized to have internal height and width clearance dimensions less than that of the doorway opening to prevent vehicles or loads making contact with the opening edges and causing impact damage. Where doorways are fitted with roller shutter doors the height restrictors ensure that the roller shutter door channels at the doorway sides and the closed door itself at the top of the doorway are protected against costly damage that can be caused by vehicle or load impacts.
Where there is a risk of high level impact with overhead pipe bridges, cable trays, air or gas supply lines or ventilation ducts from high vehicles, high vehicle loads or fork lift truck masts the Height Restrictors will prevent disruptive and expensive impact damage as well as warning a vehicle driver that his vehicle or load is too high
Bollard 200 OD
Bollards are a low cost solution providing high impact absorption properties with little or no impact damage. They have an inbuilt impact absorption mechanism providing protection for what the bollard is installed to protect but also for the vehicle hitting it, reducing or removing the cost of damage repair bills. The bollards are 200mm in outside diameter and standard heights include 400mm, 750mm and 1200mm. Bespoke heights are possible to suit a particular application.
Applications and Benefits
Due to their strength and high visibility they are perfect for use in car parks, loading bays, at entrance and exit points and to signify designated road crossing points. Suitable for traffic segregation and they are ideal to integrate into other A-Safe barrier products especially at vulnerable points such as corners and at the ends of runs. They are used both internally and externally.
Bollard Heavy Duty 225 OD
This heavy duty Bollard is identical to the bollard 200 except it has a sleeve around the outside. This sleeve will spin on impact and is an extra impact absorption property. It is also easy to replace the sleeve rather than the whole bollard making it cheaper in the long run to maintain. As with the standard bollards it is a low cost solution providing high impact absorption properties with little or no impact damage. They have an inbuilt impact absorption mechanism providing protection for what the bollard is installed to protect but also for the vehicle hitting it, reducing or removing the cost of damage repair bills. The bollards are 225mm in outside diameter and standard heights include 1200mm. Bespoke heights are possible to suit a particular application.
Applications and Benefits
Ideal where you need to upgrade protection from a standard bollard and you also have the ability to easily replace the sleeve, making it more long term fixture. As with all bollards their strength and high visibility are perfect for use in car parks, loading bays, at entrance and exit points and to signify designated road crossing points. Suitable for traffic segregation and they are ideal to integrate into other A-Safe barrier products especially at vulnerable points such as corners and at the ends of runs. They are used both internally and externally.
Bollard 125 OD
In areas where traffic is limited to Hand Pallet Trucks, Electric Pallet Trucks or Pedestrians the lighter duty 125 OD bollard provides a more economic solution than the 200 and 225 OD bollard versions. The Bollard 125 OD is available in heights of 600 or 1200mm depending upon the type of vehicles present with the 1200mm high version being recommended for use in Pedestrian areas
Applications and Benefits
This is a light duty product in the Bollards and Traffic Segregation ranges and can also be used in conjunction with the Micro Barrier 125mm OD in the Light Vehicle/Wall Protection range. They are used in industrial, retail commercial and other facilities (such as hospitals). They are mainly used for structural and machinery/equipment protection or access prevention where traffic is restricted to Hand/Electric Pallet Trucks or Pedestrians.
