Safety Barrier Rocky

The Rocky safety barrier is the only one in the line offering a choice of post height — 1200, 800 or 500 mm — so protection can be matched to what actually strikes it.

Posts of 200 mm diameter come in three heights, with rails up to 2000 mm at 110 mm diameter. The finish is two-tone: post RAL 1021, rail RAL 9005. Absorption is rated at 6,400 J for a square impact.

Barrier height counts as much as its class

A barrier protects only at the height at which it stands. A forklift strikes low with its forks and wheels, near the slab, while the mast and counterweight reach higher. Choosing a 500 mm post stops wheels and forks; at 1200 mm you also catch the upper part of the vehicle. The joule figure alone says nothing about whether the barrier will be in the path of the impact.

• protection at floor level: wheels, forks, pallets
• separating pedestrian routes without walling in the space
• zones with moderate traffic and low speeds
• places where a taller barrier would block sight lines

When a low post beats a tall one

At workstations and in picking zones a tall barrier takes away the operator's view of what happens behind it. The 500 mm version separates traffic without building a wall. To protect services that rise upward — cabinets, pipe runs, racking frames — the 1200 mm post is the choice.
