    Corrugated Steel Guardrail Safety Barriers

    Often known as either Crash Barrier, Armco Barrier or Car Park Barrier, these corrugated steel barriers are widely used in installations such as industrial/retail estates, car parks and warehouse facilities for protecting infrastructure from the dangers of impact by vehicles.

    Protect people, fencing and buildings from damage caused by moving vehicles and forklift trucks. In areas where there is a significant risk of harm identified, letting a moving vehicle collide with the safety barrier is the preferred outcome, rather than letting it continue onwards. The corrugated profile of the Armco barrier allows it to flex on impact while still maintaining strength. In addition, the barriers are designed to ensure that fast moving vehicles are deflected along the route of the guardrail barrier, while slow moving cars or forklifts will be stopped rapidly.

    An Effective Traffic Controlling Vehicle Barrier To Protect Critical Structures, Pedestrians And Stock

    Fitting Armco barrier to segregate traffic from pedestrians, stock, racking and critical structures around your property can make a big difference between a minor repair, or an expensive and time consuming repair cost, such as a structural wall or vulnerable warehouse shelving system. Our crash barrier is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, due to the steel components being galvanised, providing long-lasting weather protection.

    Multiple End Finishes And Post Options

    Our steel crash barrier is available with a wide range of fitting options, such as wing-end terminals for pedestrians, high visibility and high traffic areas. Barrier posts are also available in concrete-in and base plated variants. This allows you to securely install Armco around your site no matter if you have soft substrate or a concrete base.

    Available In Multiple Sections To Match The Requirements Of Your Site

    Alexandra Security is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of Road Crash Barriers in the UK. Our range of Armco barrier is available in straight beams or in a variety or radii. When combined with the appropriate corner sections, end units and post options, it allows you to create a complete safety barrier system in your car park or warehouse.

    Armco Crash Barrier - Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are crash barriers & what are they supposed to do?

    A crash barrier generally refers to a strong fence positioned on the side of a road or in the middle of a two-way road. These crash barriers are meant to reduce the risk of serious accidents.

    They can also be used as safety barriers to protect people or buildings from vehicles or other manually operated equipment such as a forklift.

  • How do crash or safety barriers work?

    When a vehicle crashes into the barrier, it absorbs and redistributes the impact of the collision to lessen the blow to the vehicle. Additionally, it provides greater protection to people or buildings which may be positioned on the opposite side of the barrier.

  • Is our crash barrier suitable for highways?

    No it is not highway spec, it is for off-road use only. Often our crash barrier is installed in car parks, warehouses etc.
