The many benefits of Rack Armour barriers

The Rack Group visit hundreds of sites over the course of a year and see the same old fashioned metal barriers installed throughout. Each of these barriers have the same dented, beat up and battle scarred appearance. Chipped paint exposing the rusty under bellies of these once strong barriers, now nothing more than a worn out and sad looking piece of metal.

It doesn’t have to be like this anymore though, there are other cost effective and superior products on the market. One of them being our very own ultra-durable HDPE barrier range. Solid vibrant HDPE colours replace tired chipped paint, lightweight impervious walls of plastic can now replace clunky, tired metal systems with no enduring qualities from impacts other than their own substantial weight.

There are countless benefits to installing our barriers over old fashioned metal systems, too many to list in fact. Some of the more impressive and important benefits to HDPE barriers are:

Improved strength and durability at a fraction of the weight

Our barriers are in most cases up to 7X lighter than their metal counterparts. Enabling us to hold significantly more products on a standard pallet. This weight advantage comes with multiple benefits, one of which being a serious reduction in freight costs and emissions.

No paint = no fuss

Our solid yellow HDPE is a far superior choice than a painted metal system. Paint chips over time when impacts occur, transferring an ugly smear of yellow on the mechanical handling equipment whilst leaving the barrier damaged and unsightly. Our solid HDPE doesn’t chip or dent when hit. It simply reforms back to its original state ready for another day’s service.

Hygienic solution

Being made totally from HDPE, our barriers are wipe clean and food contact approved, leaving you safe in the knowledge no bacteria or dirt can harbour, unlike the rusty old metal systems…

Floor damage

Metal systems are so rigid, they have no absorption qualities at all. Which means the area that suffers when impacts occur are your floor bolts, which in turn harms your floor. Our HDPE barriers flex and absorb impacts which minimizes the impact velocity that travels to the floor bolts, in turn eliminating concrete and fixing damage on site.

Price!

When it comes to price, our system is extremely competitive, in most cases cheaper than their metal counterparts. When you pair this benefit with the considerably higher length of service you receive with a HDPE product, you know you are receiving true value for money.

So, if you’re looking at replacing the beaten up old fashioned metal guards on your site, or if you want to install the best product possible on a new site please do get in touch. We offer a free quotation service which includes a no obligation site visit.
