Armco Safety Barrier

Armco Crash Barriers & Safety Systems for Industrial Protection

Armco Barriers provide a high-quality steel safety barrier system and are often known as Armco Safety Barriers or Armco Crash Barriers. Installed in locations throughout the UK, Armco Barriers provide a permanent barrier system that will help reduce the amount of damage caused as a result of impact or collision.

Each armco component is made from high-grade steel which has been galvanised with a layer of zinc to protect the system from rusting over time. This robust construction grants crash barriers exceptional strength, enabling them to withstand even the most significant impacts. For enhanced durability and visibility, we also offer a powder-coated finish in a yellow finish, increasing the barrier's resilience to weathering and damage.

The installation of Armco Barriers will increase the level of safety within the area and help to protect pedestrians, vehicles, and buildings from damage caused by a collision. Steel Armco Barriers are a popular choice of permanent safety barrier throughout the UK and are often installed in car parks, industrial estates, agricultural areas, and delivery bays, where they function as crash barriers.

Armco Corrugated Rails

Armco Rails or beams are made from high quality galvanised steel and are corrugated for extra strength. Armco Rails form the main section of an Armco Barrier system and are very easy to install.

Designed to provide safety, protection, and separation, Armco Barriers are very strong and meet the BS EN 10025 grade S275 standard for steel. Our Armco barriers are available in 1.6m long and 3.2m long.

Armco Rails/Beams can also be powder coated in several colours to provide the Armco Barrier system with a higher level of visibility and to increase the Armco’s resilience to damage and weathering.

Armco Open Box Beams

We also offer Armco Open Box Beams here at First Fence. Made from robust galvanised steel, Armco Open Box Beams is a stronger alternative to Armco Barriers and is ideal for areas that are likely to see high levels of traffic on a regular basis. Our 4.8m long Armco open box beam is available in a galvanised finish or a high visibility yellow or black. Armco Open Box Beam is relatively easy to install and maintain. This makes it a cost-effective option for many businesses and organisations.

At First Fence, we offer a range of steel Armco Posts in a variety of heights and in RSJ and Z styles. Armco Posts are available in dig-in and bolt down varieties.

These posts serve as the robust backbone of your safety system, providing unwavering support. When attached to two overlapped Armco beams, they create a seamless and incredibly strong safety barrier system, ensuring maximum protection.
