Crash protection is an essential element for the safety of buildings, machinery, vehicles, and people. It is used wherever collisions caused by vehicles, means of transport, or mechanical impacts can occur. Particularly in industrial areas, in warehouses, but also in private areas – such as driveways or garages – impact protection offers effective protection and effectively protects against avoidable costs.
What is meant by crash protection?
Crash protection refers to physical barriers made of robust material, usually steel, that are erected to prevent or minimize impact damage. The most common crash protection products are:
- Crash protection bollards
- protective bar

These products absorb energy, dissipate the impact force or stop it completely.
