Durable Armco Barrier Systems for Warehousing & Distribution
Armco Barrier Supplies manufactures premium Armco barrier solutions ideal for protecting assets, people, and infrastructure in warehouse and distribution environments. From safeguarding racking and walls, to defining walkways and shielding slopes, our systems help you design safer, more efficient operations.
Core Warehouse Applications
- Racking, shelving & stock protection – Armco barriers installed at the end of pallet racking or along shelving aisles provide vital protection against errant forklifts or pallet jacks, preventing collapse, stock loss, downtime and potential injury
- Defining pedestrian routes & forklift lanes – Create clear segregation between pedestrians and vehicles by installing barriers along walkways. This increases awareness, compliance with HSE guidance and reinforces safety culture .
- Wall, column & corner protection – Our wall-mounted and corner units shield vertical surfaces from scuffs or structural damage during routine manoeuvres in tight spaces
- Loading bay & drop-zone safety – Barriers around loading docks, ramp edges or platform perimeters safeguard personnel and equipment by preventing collisions and mitigating drop risks
- Vehicle and traffic management – Robust enough to withstand impacts from HGVs, LGVs and forklifts, Armco barriers guide traffic flow and demarcate service yards clearly and safely

- Site evaluation: Identify hazard zones: racking ends, pedestrian crossings, loading bays, wall edges or slopes.

- Add protective accessories: Enhance safety with pedestrian ends, fishtails, corner units and wall mounts.
