What Is an Armco Crash Barrier?

Armco is the go‑to corrugated steel safety barrier system, guarding car‑park perimeters, warehouse walls, machinery lines, fuel zones, loading docks, and more. Built from corrugated steel beams fixed to posts (bolt‑down or cast‑in), joined with lap bolts and finished with safety ends or corner sections. It helps stop low‑to‑moderate speed knocks turning into expensive wall repairs, protects pedestrian paths, makes lanes clearer, and defines keep‑clear zones.

At-a-Glance Benefits

• Heavy‑duty impact protection for vans, forklifts, cars, plant & site traffic.
• Modular system for awkward sites — cut, join, step, corner, repeat.
• Bolt‑down or cast‑in posts — slab or new pour friendly.
• Fishtail and pedestrian‑safe ends = safer no‑snag zones.
• Custom lengths and powder‑coat in safety yellow or corporate colours.
• Got your own layout? Send dims and we’ll spec the parts list for you. ‍
