Impact Protectors

Impact protectors are hard-to-break site safety products protecting against impacts in various facilities. These protectors safeguard against collisions and are made of rugged materials (such as plastic or steel) that can handle or absorb different impacts, knocks, scrapes, and bumps. Designed to use on various surfaces, an impact protector plays a pivotal role, ensuring individual and equipment protection in multiple settings. 

These protectors can come in various forms, including impact protection foams, walkway barriers, buffers, adhesive bump protection strips, shock absorbers, and wall or corner guards. Furthermore, impact protectors primarily come in yellow and black-yellow colours and are available in various shapes. Additionally, Site Safety Impact Protectors (SSIPs) prevent accidents by absorbing impact energy and reducing injuries to personnel, equipment, and structures in different industrial and construction settings.

Popular Types of Impact Protectors:

Impact protectors come in varied types, each designed for specific intended purposes and environments. Some of the most popular impact protector types include:

• Impact Barriers – Impact barriers are made of rugged steel that protects you from vehicle collisions.
• Heavy-Duty Impact Protectors – These protectors can withstand heavy impacts and are commonly found in various facilities where heavy-duty machinery or tasks are operated. They are suitable for environments where heavy-impact risks are common.
• Rubber Corner Guards – These protector types are made of rubber with angled designs, protecting wall corners and vehicles against minor collisions and scraps.
• Rubber Wall Guards – These are wall protective strips made of rubber. These guards are extensively used in automotive garages to protect car doors and walls from collisions.
• Walkway Barriers – As the name implies, these barriers are bolted in public spaces to protect individuals from vehicles. These handrail steel barriers are also used in automotive warehouses. 
• Impact Protection Foam Strips – These strips are designed to safeguard various components from impact damage, including edges and piping, in multiple settings. They come in different shapes and lengths.
• Hoop Barriers – Like walkway barriers, hoop barriers are affixed to grounds, protecting people and machinery from vehicles. These are called hoop barriers due to their hoop designs made of steel.

Typical Environments of Impact Protectors:

Impact protectors are extensively used indoors and outdoors due to their protective and versatile nature in various facilities. They are must-have components in scenarios where materials and individuals are prone to risks from impacts and collisions. Some of the typical environments include: 

• Warehouses
• Automotive Industry
• Car Parks
• Factories
• Workshops
• Docks
• Construction Sites
• Residential Settings
• Transportation.
