So innovative in fact, that it effectively makes conventional steel barriers obsolete by offering significant benefits in safety, cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness. WHY IS A-SAFE SO DIFFERENT? A-Safe products are Polymer-based, so they are far more flexible and durable than conventional steel barriers. Hit them with a vehicle and they will spring back into shape, rather than bending or buckling, thus cutting maintenance costs by greatly reducing the need for damage repairs. A simple concept and one that is already used in many other applications. For instance, the motor industry started fitting plastic bumpers to their vehicles years ago. A-Safe decided to use the same principle for their products, with outstanding results. SAFETY FIRST Although they are flexible, A-Safe barriers are extremely strong, effectively protecting your workforce, machinery, buildings and vehicles. All products are designed to meet the most stringent Health & Safety guidelines and are load tested to British Standards. COLOURING YOUR VIEWS A-Safe barriers feature a yellow and black colour scheme as standard, which enables both pedestrians and drivers to see at a glance where they should be and where they shouldn’t be. These colours are solid and highly resistant to scratching too, so no repainting is required. CUTTING YOUR COSTS Not only does A-Safe improve safety standards, it can also provide significant cost savings. Over a 3 year period, 100 metres of A-Safe barrier can save over £35,000 in repairs and maintenance costs, compared to conventional steel barriers. A GREENER OPTION A-Safe barriers offer considerably lower CO2 emissions than steel barriers in manufacture, supply and maintenance, ensuring a greatly reduced carbon footprint. With less weight, little to no maintenance, no painting and 100% recyclability, the green credentials couldn’t be better. That’s backed up by hard figures, too. Research has shown that producing a 100m A-Safe barrier generates 1766kg of CO2 emissions compared to a steel Armco barrier, which generates 3863kg of CO2 in manufacture. EASY INSTALLATION Thanks to their modular construction, A-Safe products are supremely adaptable and economically and easily installed. They are supplied with post floor fixings and require no screws or welding. Once in place, installations can be expanded to meet your changing business needs. A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE A-Safe offers a wide range of products suitable for many different applications including factories, warehouses, car parks and airports. The line-up includes traffic and pedestrian barriers, car park barriers, bollards, rack end barriers, door protectors, height restrictors, hand rails and access gates.
