UPS & A-SAFE

A global packaging logistics company needed physical traffic protection to segregate streams of vehicle and pedestrian traffic and asked A-SAFE to supply a solution to safeguard critical equipment

Customer

The world’s largest package delivery company and a provider of supply chain management solutions. The global logistics company is headquartered in the USA, delivering more than 15 million packages per day to more than 7.9 million customers in over 220 countries around the world.

Situation

The team at the Netherlands site required a solution that would segregate machinery and ensure impact protection at height to safeguard a raised access zone. The customer had several specific areas which required bespoke protection and wanted to separate the flow of vehicle and people traffic to ensure maximum health and safety.

Solution

We installed several solutions in key operational areas, enhancing protection throughout the site. A Height Restrictor was used to defend a raised working zone against impact from tall industrial vehicles, while Single Traffic+ Barriers were installed to segregate busy vehicle traffic from pedestrians.

Bollards were fitted to safeguard critical fire equipment and columns to provide protected, semi-restricted access for personnel internally and externally, to safeguard the service yard against damage from HGVs and trucks, while Column Guards were used to shield critical structures against damaging vehicle impacts.

Manufactured using Memaplex™, our iFlex barriers are purpose engineered to provide industry-leading workplace protection. On impact, iFlex barriers absorb kinetic energy, dissipating it through the barriers to minimise damage to the floor, before flexing back to their original shape.
