Improve workplace safety by securing traffic segregation

 

Collision risk is highest where staff and vehicles intersect but also where forklifts threaten critical infrastructure. In busy industrial environments like warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics facilities, unstructured traffic flow creates serious safety hazards that leads to: 

  • Injuries and severe workplace accidents.
  • Unplanned production stops (downtime).
  • High repair costs and insurance claims.

Our industrial safety barriers are designed to address this exact issue. By creating clear, physical separation between vehicle lanes and sensitive areas, they drastically reduce the risk of accidents and provides safe, structured movement. Axelent’s polymer safety barriers are:

  • Durable and Modular: Purpose-built for demanding environments and easy reconfiguration.
  • Optimized for Prevention: Ideal for forklift accident prevention in high-traffic zones.
  • Versatile: Effective for both traffic segregation and protecting critical assets.

Installing an impact protection system is the most effective step you can take to improve safety in warehouses. The barriers define secure routes, prevent pedestrians from straying into forklift paths, and protect critical infrastructure from impact damage.

Our Customer Stories

Improved safety at NMBS workshops

“What stays with me is your dedication to put in enough time (meetings, site visits) to work out the quotes and scope in detail with a clear drawing. This way our expectations of each other are clear.
Even during execution, your response is quick to keep everything on track.”
- Klaus Clerbout – Project Manager.

Complete safety solution at British Offsite

“With this project there was a lot of interaction between MHE, machine, robotics, and also the operators, so the need to be able to separate people away from machinery and the robotics was needed, hence why we looked at a solution from Axelent."
- Grant Mettam, Operations Manager

What Separates
X-Protect from Traditional Systems? 

Compared to many other impact protection barriers, Axelent's X-Protect system is designed for both durability and adaptability, making installation and expansion seamless.

Traditional systems often lack flexibility, requiring costly and time-consuming replacements when adjustments are needed. Our modular impact protection solutions change with your needs, allowing you to extend or reconfigure existing setups without tearing down your current system.

Whether protecting production areas, warehouses, or perimeter guards, Axelent’s impact protection seamlessly integrates with our X-Guard machine guarding system, delivering a comprehensive safety solution for your workplace. 

The 6 Main Advantages of X-Protect:

  • Unique Modular Design: Allows for limitless combinations and high flexibility.
  • Seamless Integration: Delivers a comprehensive safety solution by integrating with the X-Guard machine guarding system.
  • Quick and Easy Installation: Saves time and labor costs.
  • Kind to the Floor: Innovative anchoring system uses small diameter, shallow fixings.
  • High Adaptability: Allows the system to grow and reconfigure with your future needs.
  • Superior Durability: The system is designed for maximum resilience and long-term use.

What's the benefits of polymer barriers?

Our Polymer safety barrier represents the next generation of Impact protection. Rigid steel barriers transfer impact force to equipment and floors, creating a costly cycle of damage. These polymer barriers are engineered to absorb the force and return to their original shape, resulting in a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Long-term value: Why polymer outperforms steel

The steel problem

  • Damage transfer: Rigid steel transfers impact energy, causing costly dents and damage to forklifts and equipment.
  • Expensive floor damage: Collisions often cause concrete cracking and costly damage to floor fixings, accelerating facility wear and tear.
  • Maintenance intensive: Steel rusts, chips, and requires constant repainting and replacement after damage.

The solution: Polymer safety barriers

  • Impact absorption: Polymer is designed to flex and return to its original shape, minimizing damage to both the barrier and the impacting vehicle.
  • Prevents floor damage: Polymer absorbs the force before it reaches the floor fixings, helping to reduce facility damage and eliminating costly floor repairs.
  • Zero maintenance: Resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and UV rays. High visibility is maintained without painting, securing an effective traffic segregation solution.

Operational advantages

Beyond the long-term cost benefits, you gain the following operational advantages:

  • Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Minimal maintenance and an extended lifespan reduce the overall cost dramatically over time.
  • Easy installation: Significantly lighter than steel alternatives, making them faster and more efficient to handle and install.
  • Modular design: Barriers are easily configured and reconfigured to fit the changing layout and needs of any industrial environment.
