Both are low-profile steel guards designed to control forklift movement and protect your facility, but they serve different structural roles: Straight Barriers: These are used to create long, well-defined boundaries along walkways, machinery, or structural walls to block unauthorized access and absorb side impacts. Corner Barriers: Specifically engineered to shield vulnerable 90-degree edges, structural columns, and door frames. They provide wrap-around protection at floor level where equipment turns are most frequent.

Yes. Unlike some of our other products, our Workshop Barriers are highly adaptable. We can manufacture them according to your specific requirements for: Dimensions: Custom lengths and heights. Mounting: Specific base plate designs for different floor types. Aesthetics: Coating and overall design preferences to match your safety color-coding.

To withstand the rigors of a busy warehouse or workshop, our barriers are available in: Materials: Mild steel (standard industrial), Hot-dip galvanized steel (maximum rust protection), or Stainless Steel (hygienic or premium finish). Finishes: Multi-colored safety paint (e.g., high-visibility yellow/black), galvanized for corrosion resistance, or polished/brushed stainless steel.

Absolutely. The materials and finishing options—particularly the galvanized and stainless steel versions—provide excellent resistance to weather and long-term outdoor exposure. Maintenance: Generally minimal. Stainless and galvanized options require the least upkeep. For painted barriers, we recommend occasional touch-ups to maintain visibility if they are frequently bumped or scuffed by heavy machinery.
