Not all crash barriers are the same. Depending on the application and requirements, there are different types, each with its own strengths. Here's an overview of the most common variants – including tips for choosing.
Crash protection bollards
Bollards are vertical posts commonly used in driveways, at hall entrances, or in parking lots. They provide targeted protection and are ideal for clearly demarcating areas or securing passageways.
Suitable for:
- Parking spaces
- driveways
- courtyards
Protective bar (U-bar)
These semicircular, floor-mounted brackets provide large-area protection—for example, against walls, machinery, or columns. They are particularly popular in warehouses.
Suitable for:
- Wall and machine protection
- Limiting walking routes
- Edge protection
Guard rails and strips
These run horizontally and provide extensive protection along walls, in passageways, or along transport routes. They absorb impact forces very effectively.
Suitable for:
- Walls in industrial buildings
- Loading zones
- Ramps
Rack collision protection
Specially developed for warehouses, these collision protection solutions protect rack supports from accidental collisions with industrial trucks.
Suitable for:
- pallet racks
- High-bay warehouse
Individual solutions
Sometimes tailor-made products are needed – for example, for special outdoor installation situations or for aesthetic requirements in the garden.
Which crash barrier suits your needs?
- Private person with carport: protective bar or bollard
- Companies with warehouses: Racking protection + safety barriers
- Public facility: bollards and strips for protection & visual guidance
