The low-level barrier is designed to add ground level protection alongside pedestrian barriers by serving as a pallet stop, which according to A-Safe, eliminates injuries caused by vehicle forks diverting underneath the barrier.
Able to withstand impact from vehicles weighing up to 6,400kg, StepBumper is expected to help facilities managers and health and safety professionals looking to strengthen safety protocols and minimise risk in busy working environments across an array of sectors.
StepBumper is suitable for vehicle charging areas, goods holding areas, building and equipment protection and pedestrian walkways.
The solution offers recovery from plastic. Covering up to a 200mm impact height, it is claimed to ensure vehicle bumpers and pallets will not ride over the product, and provides room for employees to step on when exiting and entering a vehicle.
StepBumper comes in three sizes, which includes dimensions of 1200mm, 900mm and 600mm. Other features and benefits mentioned by A-Safe include an ergonomic design with no sharp edges, a water-resistant outer layer, and a 10-minute installation process.
