Co-op opts for Berry barriers April 1st 2010 The 25,600m2 Co-op Composite
Distribution Centre in County
Durham supplies 262 Co-operative
stores in the North of England.
Walkways are separated wherever
possible by heavy duty steel
balustrades to protect staff, and plant
and equipment is protected by
bollards, fork lift truck wheel guides,
racking protectors and column
protectors. There are height
restrictors on internal doorways and
vulnerable areas are further protected
by double barriers to prevent the
incursion of forks at low levels. In
the HGV area perimeter barriers are
supplemented by speed ramps and
wheel stops.
Berry Systems supplied and
installed the safety barriers including
its spring steel buffers which are
designed and tested to absorb
impacts from cars, HGVs and fork
lift trucks while retaining their
integrity.More than 3km of safety
barriers and balustrading was installed. More articles from Berry Systems: |
