Safety Barriers
Crash Barriers and Safety Barriers are a familiar sight on motorways and roads, but the properties of a barrier designed for highways use are different to those needed to protect people and structures in places such as car parks, service yards, factories and warehouses.
Normally on a highway, when a vehicle crashes into the crash barrier in the central reserve, the impact tends to be at a fairly sharp 20 degree angle and at high speeds. Also, to offer some protection to the driver and passengers, a certain amount of give or deflection is desirable in the way that the safety barrier reacts to the vehicle, to soften the blow of the impact.
Alternatively, Armco Safety Barriers installed into a non-highway location are more likely to be hit by low speed vehicles and at a much more square on angle, closer to 90 degrees. Often in an off-road situation, you do not want the barrier to deflect when impacted because space is at a premium and so the Safety Barrier needs to be installed as close to the thing that it is protecting as possible.
