Our Armco barriers are designed to ensure the safety of both people and valuable property. These off-highway crash barriers are the ideal solution for protecting staff, buildings and vehicles.
An Armco crash barrier system consists of two component types, the untensioned corrugated Armco rail and the fixing post that holds the Armco rail in place. Armco crash barriers work by absorbing the impact of a crash – usually involving a vehicle.
Referred to as an untensioned corrugated beam, the Armco barrier is developed in a ‘W’ shape. It’s this bending shape that allows for impact by slower-moving objects such as cars or bikes. Because the metal of the barrier is bent one way, it’s very hard to bend it the other way, and can therefore withstand more impact energy.
The ‘W’ shaped metal rail is then held in place using a number of vertical posts and help to absorb the impact from behind the strip.
A simple installation process makes Armco crash barriers the ideal solution for protecting large ‘offroad’ sites such as warehouses and service yards.
The versatility of Armco barriers means their length and corners can be tailored to the application. This makes them suitable for securing car parks, warehouses, factories and industrial plants.
In fact, they are the ideal choice for any setting where there is a risk of low speed low impact collisions between vehicles, machinery and people. Armco crash barriers protect customers and staff, vehicles, machinery, and buildings inside and out.
CT Safety barriers have been designing, manufacturing and installing off road Armco crash barriers for over a decade. Using our own production and manufacturing facilities means Armco barriers are manufactured with military precision. They are then delivered efficiently thanks to our extremely quick turnaround times.
Other benefits of our Armco barriers include:
The flexibility of an Armco barrier system means their applications are infinite with no two scenarios the same. Our design engineers will work with you to create a bespoke solution that perfectly fits your needs. What’s more, we will explain the key Armco components you’ll likely require as well as making you aware of some optional considerations below:
All of our Armco Barriers and posts are designed and manufactured to the following standards:
Engineered from high quality Grade S275 steel, our Armco barriers are galvanised in molten zinc to BS EN ISO 1461:2009. This greatly increases their life expectancy by lowering their susceptibility to damage and corrosion. Durability is critical given the harsh environments the barriers are likely to be subjected to. Our Armco barriers last longer and require less maintenance, which provides a high value and long-lasting solution.
Our Armco components are pre-stamped with the correctly positioned holes to ensure that the barrier system can be easily constructed. Should the barriers need to be replaced, the interchangeable nature of the design means any part can easily be exchanged and remounted. This simple and easy construction process means that Armco barriers are the ideal solution. They can be quickly fitted to provide high levels of protection for vast areas.
In addition to the standard galvanised finish, we also offer steel Armco barrier and posts with a polyester powder coated finish in a range of colours. Adding a powder coated finish to the Armco Barriers can make your Armco more visible, further enhancing its effectiveness for deterring collisions. You can also request this feature in order to make your barriers more in keeping with its surroundings or your brand colours.
CT Safety Barriers were awarded the contract to install various safety protection equipment at the new Crossrail Depot in White City, London.
CT Safety Barriers were asked to install safety barriers and other protection products at the Sludge Treatment Facility in Knostrop, Leeds.
CT Safety Barriers Ltd was asked to design, manufacture and install steel safety products at the cooperative distribution centre in Motherwell.
