Loading bays are an indispensable part of factories, warehouses, storage facilities, and many other industries. However, they also pose significant safety risks due to the presence of heavy machinery, people, and large cargo. Even a small mistake can cause serious injuries and financial losses.
Safety barriers play a crucial role in reducing the risks of loading bays. They outline secure zones, prevent unauthorised access, and can protect workers and infrastructure from the impact of vehicle collisions.
Purposefully engineered, Armco barriers effectively absorb the force of vehicle impact, minimising harm to both people and property. Their reassuring presence makes loading bays safer.

FAQs
Q – Do you manufacture loading bay barriers?
A – Yes. We have our own manufacturing plant in Yorkshire where we craft all our steel barriers. We’re one of the UK’s top suppliers of Armco barriers, delivering our products to customers all across Europe.
Q – What finish should I choose for my loading bay safety barriers
A – We supply Armco barriers in traditional galvanised steel, or a brightly coloured powder-coated finish.
Galvanised steel is highly durable and weather-proof, making it the best choice for outdoor safety barriers. If you’re looking for indoor loading bay barriers, however, a bright yellow powder-finish can help improve your barrier’s visibility.
Both choices are long-lasting and cost-effective, require minimal maintenance, and protect your barriers from corrosion.
