Moving vehicles, particularly in industrial applications, pose the constant threat ofdamage to both equipment and structures. A-Safe Traffic Barriers offer the most
effective way to protect these vital assets by clearly defining traffic routesboth physically and visually. Made from a durable polymer-based
material, A-Safe products are an excellent investmentin terms of both safety and maintenance
cost savings.

Accessories
Applications:A-Safe products are supremely adaptableand can be used in many different applications and environments including:
• Vehicle GuidanceThe Ground Level Traffic Barrier has a ground level impact height, so it can beused to guide vehicles up to loading bay doors and as wheel stops forarticulated wagons, protecting equipment, machinery and structures.
• High Impact AreasThe Double Rail Traffic Barrier has a greater resistance than the standardversion to offer maximum protection from straying vehicles, making it ideal forhigh impact areas. A variation is the Impact Traffic Barrier with a lower 112mmimpact height rail for use with fork lift trucks or other low bodied vehicles and toprevent forks or other items pushing under the barrier.
• Traffic Segregation and Equipment ProtectionA-Safe Barriers avoid unnecessary damage from vehicles to walls, buildingsupports, valuable machinery and vulnerable equipment. Low Level TrafficBarriers have a low impact height, making them ideal for use around FLTs andtrucks with standard wheel arches, while the high level version has a highimpact height to suit trucks with high level wheel arches.
Benefits• Real delineation of vehicles
around buildings, machinery andpotential hazards.
• Provides a reliable physical barrierto clearly segregate traffic routes.
• If the barrier is hit by a vehicle, itsbuilt-in memory ensures that itsprings back into shape, while itslightweight polymer-basedconstruction minimises damage tothe vehicle itself.
• Black and yellow colours ensurehigh visibility, so vehicle driverscan see at a glance where theyshould and should not be.
• Airport ApplicationsAtlas Barrier’s heavy dutyconstruction is perfect forprotection of baggageconveyor equipment, doors,floodlight masts, piers andcharging units, along withmany other applications.
• A-Safe Low Level Traffic Barrier has been testedwith an impact force of 152kn as set out in BS6399.
This is the equivalent of a 1.5 tonne vehicle travellingat 10 miles per hour.
• 500m of A-Safe Low Level Traffic Barrier can reduce annualmaintenance costs by up to £39,500 when compared to 500m of single
rail box beam steel barrier.
A-Safe provides far more than just a comprehensive range ofsafety products. We also offer a full consultation service, ensuring
that you choose the right product for the right application. This iscomplemented by a full installation and maintenance package, with a leasing
option available if required.
Technically Speaking
Health & Safety -Did you know?• “Protective barriers to keep vehicles away
from pedestrians’ areas, and clearmarkings to set apart vehicle andpedestrians’ routes, are also effective.”(Workplace Transport Safety, AnEmployers’ Guide)
• “117 workers have been fatally injured overthe past two years as a result of beingstruck by a moving vehicle accounting formore than half of all fatal transport-relatedinjuries.” (Health & Safety CommissionWorkplace Transport National Statistics2007-08)
A-Safe products are much more userfriendly than the previous barriers we had inplace. They are saving us thousands ofpounds a year.
