Armco barriers are steel safety barriers designed to protect drivers, pedestrians and property from traffic collisions. Famed for their use on Formula 1 circuits, Armco barriers can now be found in a wide variety of locations, including motorways, car parks, factories, warehouses, construction sites and more.
The durability and versatility of Armco barriers also make them ideal for use on farms and in agricultural facilities. These solid steel barriers are an excellent way to improve safety and security, ensuring farmers follow all industry regulations for efficient farm management.
How Armco barriers can help protect your farm
Most people are used to seeing Armco barriers on the side of a motorway, or maybe in a car park.
But there are many ways these unique crash barriers can be put to good use in other places, including farms and agricultural facilities:
- Field Boundary Marking: Armco barriers can physically define and reinforce agricultural field boundaries. By preventing accidental trespassing, the barriers help avoid damage to crops caused by people or vehicles straying beyond designated areas.
- Livestock Containment: As well as preventing people from getting in, Armco barriers can also be used to stop livestock from getting out. These solid steel barriers are highly durable and offer several height options, making them ideal for containing large and heavy animals like cows or horses.
- Critical Infrastructure Protection: Armco barriers are a great choice for durable and long-lasting perimeter fencing for barns, stables, storage facilities or processing units. They help improve security, preventing unauthorised access and safeguarding buildings from collisions.
- Equipment and Machinery Protection: Strategically place Armco barriers around essential (and expensive) farm equipment and machinery to protect it from damage and improve overall safety on the farm.
Benefits of using Armco barriers
The unique W shape of an Armco barrier has been specifically designed to absorb and redirect the energy from an impact, thereby reducing the severity of crashes and minimising damage or harm.
Here are some additional benefits to installing Armco barriers:
- Durability in Outdoor Conditions: The galvanised finish on steel Armco barriers allows them to withstand the harsh weather conditions and corrosive elements commonly found in agricultural environments.
- Ease of Installation: Armco barriers are designed to be easy to install and can be adapted to a variety of terrains. This can be a huge benefit in agricultural settings where the landscape may be uneven or varied.
- Long-Term Solution: Once installed correctly, Armco barriers provide a long-term and effective solution for farm protection. Their durability and resistance to rust contribute to their longevity and reliability.
- Cost-effectiveness: While final costs will vary depending on the quantity, length, height and choice of finish, the durability and extended lifespan of an Armco barrier make it excellent value for money.
