Crash barriers for pedestrian safety at a global logistics distribution centre
Customer: Global logistics company
Overview: Barriers for pedestrian safety, truck stops and protection from accidental damage
Solution: Easiguard
A global logistics company that provides pivotal supply chain solutions to the most successful companies in the world requested a solution from Westgate Global to help segregate vehicles and pedestrians in a busy distribution centre. The company wanted to review and replace a range of plastic and metal barriers that had been installed by other suppliers and that had started to show signs of wear.
Westgate Global were successful in securing this work as they were able to recommend, design and deliver a cost-effective solution backed by excellent customer service right from the onset.
The project was carried out in several phases to accommodate operational requests. Westgate Global installed Easiguard “W” barriers and “A” safe plastic barriers internally to define personnel walkways and forklift truck routes. The Easiguard “W” barriers were galvanised metal and yellow powder coated to protect the main building columns where the previous plastic protection had not been robust enough.
Also included in the project were pedestrian gates that were used to define crossings in the warehouse and protect pedestrians from vehicles. Westgate Global also installed external tubular truck stops and more Easiguard “W” barriers to create a safe walkway behind the truck stops.
Westgate Global were versatile with the solution, hence the reason for plastic barriers in some places and metal in others. Westgate Global’s approach to delivering a bespoke solution best fitted to the customer’s needs is one of the reasons they were chosen for the project.
Easiguard is a steel barrier protection system designed to protect walls, doors, machinery, racking and personnel from potential collisions. The system can be supplied with or without installation and a range of barrier options and configurations are available including barriers, bollards, fences, rails and gates.
The system can be supplied ready for surface mounting or concreting into the ground and there are a range of barrier options available to meet specific project requirements.
