Plastic Protections vs. ENNAT Solutions: The Difference that Maximizes Space and Safety in Your Operation

When it comes to protecting industrial infrastructure, warehouses, or high-traffic areas, selecting the right type of guardrails is essential to ensuring the safety of personnel, safeguarding assets, and maintaining operational efficiency. Many companies often turn to plastic guarding solutions, which provide a lightweight alternative to traditional metal guarding. However, when compared to ENNAT’s advanced impact-absorbing solutions, plastic guarding presents significant limitations that can affect productivity and space efficiency.

One of the primary drawbacks of plastic guarding is its tendency to deform or elongate after impact. This phenomenon, known as elongation, might seem inconsequential at first glance, but over time, it can undermine both the functionality and safety of the facility.

When plastic barriers become deformed, they take up more space than originally intended. This means that in areas with high forklift or machinery traffic, work and storage areas are reduced, which directly impacts efficiency and operational capacity. The elongation of plastic guards creates “dead zones” where the workflow becomes less fluid, and the operation faces bottlenecks or interruptions. In an industrial environment, every square meter counts, and this loss of space translates into economic losses and lower productivity.

ENNAT Solutions: Technology that Protects without Compromising Space

ENNAT solutions are specifically designed to overcome these challenges. Unlike plastic barriers, our safety barriers combine advanced shock-absorbing technology with the strength of metal, offering not only superior protection but also resistance to deformation after impact. This ensures that even in the most demanding environments, your workspace remains safe and accident-free.

Our barriers are constructed with reinforced bases and robust metal tubes, complemented by patented rubber modules that effectively absorb and redistribute impact energy. Unlike plastic, which tends to deform under stress, ENNAT barriers maintain their structural integrity. This means that even when forklifts or other industrial equipment collide with our barriers, they retain their original shape, avoiding the elongation issues commonly associated with plastic solutions.

By maintaining the original boundaries of work and storage areas, our solutions allow for a constant and efficient flow of the operation, which translates into higher yields and better use of space.

In addition to the loss of space, plastic barriers typically require more frequent maintenance due to their lower resistance to repeated impacts. In contrast, ENNAT barriers are designed for greater durability, requiring fewer repairs or replacements over time. This not only reduces operating costs, but also ensures that the protection system remains in top condition for extended periods, providing constant safety and reliability.
