When it comes to protecting warehouse infrastructure and ensuring employee safety, not all solutions are equally effective. For years, many companies have opted for traditional metal guards to safeguard their equipment and work areas. However, with the advancement of technology and the growing need for more efficient and cost-effective solutions, these metal guards have begun to fall behind. This is where ENNAT introduces an innovative option, offering protective solutions that overcome the limitations of conventional metal barriers.
1. Impact Resistance
Metal barriers, while robust, have a critical weakness: once they receive a significant impact, they tend to deform and lose their ability to adequately protect. A strong blow from a forklift can even tear off the anchors of these guards, rendering them inoperative and exposing the area to future accidents.
ENNAT solutions integrate impact absorption technology. Our barriers are designed with patented rubber modules that not only absorb the force of the impact, but also prevent damage from being transferred to infrastructure and equipment. In addition, the forklift operator perceives the impact immediately, allowing him to brake in time, while ENNAT barriers maintain their structural integrity and continue to function like new after each incident.
2. Maintenance and Costs
Metal barriers, due to their rigidity and vulnerability to impact, require frequent repairs. Each time a metal guard suffers an impact, the cost of repair or replacement can be significant. If not repaired in time, the risk of accidents increases, potentially leading to costly downtime in operations.
ENNAT solutions, meanwhile, are designed to be durable and low-maintenance. Thanks to their ability to absorb impacts without deforming or breaking, the need for repairs or replacements is minimal. This translates into lower long-term operating costs and greater longevity of the protection infrastructure.
3. Flexibility and Adaptability
Metal barriers are often rigid and difficult to adjust to specific spaces, limiting their ability to adapt to areas with complex configurations or special needs.
ENNAT offers modular solutions that are highly adaptable to any environment. Whether protecting storage racks, pedestrian zones, columns or expensive equipment, our barriers can be configured in a variety of ways to fit the specific needs of each facility. This flexibility ensures complete protection without compromising space or operational efficiency.
4. Personnel Safety
Metal guards, lacking impact absorption technology, transmit the energy of the impact directly to the surroundings, which can cause collateral damage and increase risks to nearby workers.
Instead, ENNAT solutions are designed to significantly decrease the force of the impact, thereby reducing risks to personnel. In addition, our barriers help to clearly delimit work areas, effectively separating forklift traffic from pedestrian paths, improving visibility and overall safety within the warehouse.
5. Constant Innovation
ENNAT is not only positioned as an alternative to metal guards, but is at the forefront of innovation in industrial safety. Every barrier, bollard or guard we develop incorporates our advanced impact absorption technology, backed by studies and tests carried out in real industrial environments. This allows us to offer solutions designed to continually improve safety and operational efficiency.
Although metal guards have long been a popular choice, advances in industrial safety technology prove that safer and more efficient alternatives exist. ENNAT solutions not only provide an alternative option, but also reduce operating costs, improve personnel safety and extend the life of infrastructure. By choosing ENNAT, companies not only optimize their operations, but also ensure a safer and more efficient work environment.
