Bespoke Impact Protection – Custom Safety Barriers & Bollards (UK Made to Order)

Your site isn’t standard — your protection shouldn’t be either. When stock‑size barriers or off‑the‑shelf bollards don’t fit, we design + build made‑to‑measure impact protection that actually lines up with your risks, clearances, traffic flow and brand look. Fabricated in the UK. Supply‑only or full install.

Tip: Include dimensions (L×W×H), clear heights, vehicle types (cars / vans / FLTs / HGVs), whether traffic is one‑way or two‑way, and anything we must avoid (doors, drains, services).

What Counts as “Bespoke Impact Protection”?

Anything that’s not a straight, standard‑height, off‑the‑shelf run. If your site has awkward columns, sloped decks, tight door reveals, branded colour requirements, or mixed traffic (forklifts + pedestrians), bespoke is usually the smarter and safer call.

Common customisations:

• Non‑standard lengths / post centres
• Stepped or raked barrier runs on gradients
• Wrap‑around column & corner guards
• Goalpost / entrance frames with clearance signage
• Heavy‑wall bollards sized to resist vehicle strike
• Integrated handrail over impact rail for pedestrian separation
• Powder coat in safety yellow, black/yellow hazard, or brand colours
• Stainless or part‑polymer sleeves for hygiene / visibility zones

Why Go Bespoke Instead of “Making Do”?

1. Fit = Fewer Gaps

Gaps invite impact where you’re unprotected. We build to your actual dims so beams, guards and bollards cover the risk zones properly.

2. Built to Risk Level

Light electric tugs ≠ loaded HGVs. Wall thickness, post spec, footing detail and barrier height can all be scaled to the forces you expect.

3. Safer People / Vehicle Separation

If forklifts and pedestrians share floor space, physical segregation massively reduces accident potential. Custom layouts follow your traffic plan — not the other way round.

4. Less Damage, Less Downtime

Correctly placed impact gear protects doors, racking legs, chargers, plant, loading bay edges and glazing — cutting repair bills and lost time.

5. Looks Matter (Public / Retail / Brand Sites)

Powder‑coat colours, matching bollard caps and tidy welds keep the place looking pro — important where customers see your site.

Popular Bespoke Impact Protection Builds

Custom Barrier Runs

Made‑to‑length steel impact rails with posts at centres to suit site loads. Straight, stepped, curved or multi‑level. Indoor or outdoor.

Bespoke Bollards

Pick diameter, wall thickness, height above FFL, bolt‑down plate or root‑fix embed. Add reflective bands, hazard stripes, branded colours or sleeves.

Column & Corner Protection

U‑ and box‑form steel wraps to shield structural columns, roller shutter reveals, or exposed building corners from vehicle strike.

Warehouse Rack / Machine Guards

Low‑level or mid‑height guards to protect racking uprights, charging stations, conveyor legs and production kit.

Loading Bay / Dock Edge Barriers

Heavy‑duty posts + rails to stop wheel overshoot, protect dock levellers and backstops. Can include guide rails and wheel stops.

Pedestrian Segregation Frames

Impact rail at vehicle level plus upper handrail or mesh panel to define safe walkways through busy yards or internal traffic aisles.

Where Custom Systems Are Used

• Warehouses & distribution centres
• Manufacturing & processing plants
• Retail parks & shopfront protection
• Multi‑storey & surface car parks
• Loading bays & service yards
• Airports, ports & rail infrastructure
• Utilities, energy & industrial estates
• Public access sites needing branded or architectural finishes

Design & Order Process (5 Simple Steps)

1. Scope & Risk Info – Tell us what you’re protecting (people / structure / kit) and what might hit it (car, FLT, HGV).
2. Measure / Survey – Provide dims, clearances, slab thickness (if bolt‑down), below‑ground services and fixing constraints.
3. Design & Quote – We’ll create a sketch / model the solution, spec materials, finishes & fixings, and send pricing + lead time.
4. Fabricate & Finish (UK) – Cut, weld, prep, galvanise and (if ordered) powder coat in house / via approved finishing partners.
5. Deliver or Install – Supply‑only shipment or full UK install by experienced crews (subject to postcode & access). We can phase deliveries for large sites.

FAQ – Bespoke Impact Protection

How do I get a quote for a custom barrier or bollard?

Send dims, photos or a sketch. We’ll confirm any missing info and price the build.

Can you match colours or brand guidelines?

Yes. Powder coat to most RALs over galvanising. We can also stripe, band or apply reflective tape.

What info do you need to design the right impact spec?

Vehicle type/weight, approach speed, clearance needed, substrate (slab depth / foundation), indoor vs outdoor, and whether people walk nearby.

Do you install nationwide?

We offer UK‑wide supply and can install in most mainland locations (subject to access & scale). Remote areas quoted separately.

What’s the difference between bolt‑down and root‑fix?

Bolt‑down anchors to existing concrete; quicker and removable. Root‑fix (set in concrete) offers higher pull‑out resistance and tamper resistance where deep foundations are possible.

Can I combine pedestrian handrail with a crash barrier?

Yes — add an upper rail or mesh over an impact beam to guide people safely above vehicle strike height.

Are bespoke items CE/UKCA marked?

Where applicable components fall under relevant regulations we can supply documentation or manufacture to spec. Flag compliance requirements up front.

How long do galvanised & powder‑coated finishes last?

Galv gives long‑term corrosion defence; topcoat extends life & adds visibility. Durability varies with environment (marine, de‑icing salts, impact frequency) — ask for guidance.
