Armco barriers

Armco barriers are one of the most effective solutions for protecting buildings, equipment, and people in high-traffic environments. Commonly used in warehouses, car parks, factories, and service yards, Armco crash barriers are designed to absorb and deflect vehicle impact, helping to reduce damage and improve overall site safety.

Our range of Armco barriers includes durable steel barrier rails in both 1.6m Armco barriers and 3.2m Armco barriers, allowing you to create flexible, modular safety systems suited to your specific layout. The corrugated design provides strength and impact resistance, making these barriers ideal for industrial and commercial applications where forklifts, vehicles, and heavy machinery operate.

To make planning easier, you can use our Armco barrier calculators to quickly work out exactly what you need for your project. Whether you’re using the 1.6m Armco barrier calculator or the 3.2m Armco barrier calculator, these tools help you determine the correct number of rails, posts, and fixings — saving time and reducing the risk of ordering errors.

A complete Armco barrier system also requires the right support structure and fixings. You can choose between RSJ posts for maximum strength or Z posts for lighter-duty installations, depending on your environment and impact risk. Installation options include surface-mounted or dig-in posts to suit different ground types and stability requirements.

For a safe and compliant installation, it’s essential to include the correct hardware such as M16 post bolts lap bolts, and ground anchor bolts, along with finishing components like pedestrian ends, safety ends, and fishtail ends to prevent exposed edges.

You can also enhance your system with visibility and protection upgrades, including barrier sleeves, post sleeves, and reflectors, which help reduce minor damage, improve awareness, and extend the lifespan of your installation.

Whether you’re protecting racking, separating pedestrian walkways, or guiding vehicle traffic, our Armco crash barriers provide a reliable and cost-effective safety solution with calculators and components available to help you build the exact system you need.
