The dimensions of your Armco barrier will depend on the type of vehicles you have operating on your site. The size of the barrier required will be determined by the hazards that present the biggest risk to your staff and visitors.
Perhaps you are looking to safeguard staff in a manufacturing plant from collisions with a forklift truck? Or do you need to shield pedestrians from cars at the entrance to your headquarters?
Whatever the requirement there is a type of Armco suitable for the job. To speak to an expert about your requirements, simply contact our friendly team.
What are the different Armco barrier dimensions?
Armco dimensions consist of the barrier post height and the length and depth of the barrier beam.
Armco beam dimensions
The beams of your barrier are the horizontal sections, which bear the brunt of a collision. These ultra-tough panels of steel are available in 3.5 metre lengths as standard.
Armco barrier depths
Each Armco panel is constructed from ultra-tough 3mm thick corrugated steel. This provides the ultimate protection as the panel is designed to absorb the impact of a crash.
Armco post heights
The required height of your Armco barriers will be dependent on the type of vehicle your staff and property require protection from. Larger barrier heights are more suitable for sites where there are HGVs operating, whilst the smaller size is more suited to areas where a forklift truck roves.
Our surface mounted posts are available in the following standard heights:
- 560mm – ideal for internal protection in forklift truck areas.
- 610mm – suitable for car park protection.
- 760mm – geared towards areas where HGVs, lorries and tractors operate.
- 1100mm – this double height Armco barrier is suited to internal areas where HGVs operate.
