3.2m Galvanised or Yellow Armco Crash Barrier Kit

The 3.2m Armco Crash Barrier Kit is a high-quality safety solution designed to protect people, property, and vehicles across a wide variety of environments. Whether you are safeguarding a busy warehouse, marking out safe pedestrian routes in a car park, or providing reliable impact protection in an industrial yard, this robust barrier system offers both strength and visibility.

Our crash barrier kits are available in high-visibility yellow Armco barrier or durable galvanised Armco barrier, giving you the choice between maximum visibility or long-lasting corrosion resistance.

Simple Installation – Build Your Own

This crash barrier kit is designed to be customised using our online crash barrier calculator, allowing you to create a barrier system tailored to your exact requirements. Simply select the length, number of posts, finish (galvanised or yellow powder-coated), and any additional fixings or end sections, and the calculator will provide the correct components for a safe, effective installation. Posts are typically spaced every 3.2m, but for extra reinforcement in high-traffic areas, they can be positioned every 1.6m. The armco barrier calculator ensures you order the right quantity of beams, posts, and accessories, making installation straightforward and hassle-free.

Safety and Visibility

At the heart of this system is the corrugated Armco safety rail, engineered to absorb and withstand impacts from moving vehicles when installed with either RSJ or ‘Z’ posts. Measuring 3.51m in total length, the rails provide a functional coverage of 3.2m once overlapping sections are accounted for. This design ensures continuous protection along barrier runs while maintaining the strength needed to resist collisions.

For areas where visibility is essential, such as loading bays or high-traffic pedestrian routes, the kit is available with a bright yellow powder-coated finish. This not only enhances visibility, making hazards easier to spot, but also adds a durable protective layer that helps prevent rusting and weathering. The galvanised finish option is equally durable, offering excellent long-term resistance to corrosion in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Flexible Applications

This crash barrier kit is highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications:

Warehouses and distribution centres – define walkways, protect shelving, and separate pedestrians from forklift traffic.

Car parks – provide clear vehicle guidance and prevent accidental damage to walls, fences, or parked cars.

Loading bays – shield goods and equipment while maintaining safe working areas.

Industrial sites – protect structures, machinery, and personnel from vehicle strikes.

The rails can also be fixed directly to the front of buildings using wall mounting plates, creating a compact yet highly effective protective system where space is limited.

Durability and Reliability

Manufactured to a high standard and supplied here in the UK, this Armco barrier kit offers long-term durability and dependable impact resistance. Whether galvanised or powder-coated, the steel components are designed to withstand both daily wear and the harsh effects of weather. This makes the kit a practical investment for any organisation looking to enhance on-site safety.
